Discover an extraordinary piece of architecture in South Tyrol

Schwarzenstein Hut

In South Tyrol, you will of course find fine mountain huts, but this one literally stands out. At a height of no less than 3,026 metres, it is the highest situated hut in South Tyrol. Construction of the Schwarzensteinhütte was completed in 2017 and features modern architecture. In fact, the hut is built in a hexagonal shape. The altitude of this hut naturally offers stunning views that reach from the Alps to the Dolomites. In addition, the hut is the perfect starting point for both tough and easier (glacier) tours.

Kurtatsch vineyards

Are you a wine lover? Then the beautiful vineyards of Kellerei Kurtatsch are the place to be for you. They are located in the village of Kurtatsch on breathtaking steep slopes from 220 to 900 metres above sea level. Such a large difference in altitude within a municipality is unique in Europe. These slopes not only offer great views, but are also ideal for the different types of wine that grow there. All wines are produced to reflect their different places of origin as much as possible. You can also experience this authentic wine experience yourself by taking a tour or visiting the unique barrique cellar 'Dolomit' with its natural rock wall.

Prinz Rudolf Smart Hotel

Despite not opening until 2020, the public already knows how to give this special hotel a lot of attention. The Prinz Rudolf Smart Hotel was designed by DEAR Studio architects Manuel Gschnell and Stefano Longo, who have a focus on innovative projects. But besides its modern look and design, what makes the hotel so special? The roof! This is because on the roof there are three swimming pools, a sauna and, as icing on the cake, an infinity pool. Enjoy with a big G the views over Meran/Merano, the Vinschgau Valley and the Texel Group mountain range with its nature park.
