Rays of sunshine illuminate the skin, on the horizon you can see the striking mountain peaks, while you indulge in the trickling bustle of the region. It is not without reason that the Dolomites have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From spring to fall, the mountain region in northern Italy scores with the most beautiful nature, the best weather and a very special charm. During winter, snow and ski fans find themselves in the place to be here. No matter what kind of time-out you prefer, memorable vacations are guaranteed at the four Winklerhotels near the famous Kronplatz.

The Winklerhotels

It is fair to say that the Winklers have created a literal hotel empire in South Tyrol. The family now unites four hotels under one brand: Hotel Lanerhof, Chalet Purmontes, Hotel Winkler and Hotel Sonnenhof. Although they are all fundamentally different in terms of facilities and services, they are all connected through their special, stylish ambience and high quality. 

Feel tradition at the Lanerhof

In the middle of the idyllic vacation town of Montal lies the staple house of the Winklerhotels. The Lanerhof knows how to convince with tradition, typical alpine design and its perfect combination of nature and relaxation.

Hospitality at a high standard is important here and so the hotel offers everything the hearts of its guests desire, especially wellness and relaxation. Thanks to its activity offers, such as outdoor playground, petting zoo, riding stable and its own ball sports hall, the 4-star superior hotel also attracts families. An all-round perfect package for a break in the countryside.

Experience exclusivity at Purmontes

Those who prefer an exclusive atmosphere and a great deal of luxury should book a room at the Purmontes. The 5 chalet suites of the hideaway shine with their unique modern interior design, lots of wood and romantic atmosphere.

Enjoy greatness at the Winkler

An all-round hotel with panoramic views, cozy atmosphere and exclusive lifestyle - the Winkler at Kronplatz is all that. 85 rooms as well as luxury and family suites make for special moments during family vacations as well as couple getaways. While the grown-ups can take a deep breath in the adults-only spa with sauna area, the little ones are off having a blast at the Fun-Sport-Gym, the indoor climbing hall or the Outdoor-Fun-Court. Seven pools also offer plenty of opportunity for water activities. The harmony of body, mind and soul is the top priority at Winkler, also in terms of nutrition. The cuisine is healthy, fresh, local and only of the best high-quality.

Relax at the Sonnenhof

Cozy hideaways, relaxation rooms, chill-out daybeds - if you're looking for elevated relaxation, the Sonnenhof is just the place for you. The spa of the 4-star superior hotel eases the soul and gives peace to the mind. Various saunas warm the heart, as do steam baths, indoor and whirlpools, and the Turkish bath.

The excellent combination of design and sustainability is especially visible in the beautifully groomed park garden. Here, a natural swimming pond meets an outdoor infinity pool and several private hideaways. The backdrop of the Dolomites, on the other hand, gives the feeling of spacious freedom. One thing is clear as day: when it comes to wellness, the Sonnenhof does not disappoint.
