 Hotel description

With 40 rooms, the Sonnenalm is very cozy - you are “among yourself”. In the main building itself, most of the rooms are furnished in an Alpine country house style, quite spacious and cozy. Some luxury suites and the family suites in the Recidence (own building approx. 30m away) are, however, very luxurious and extremely chic. The family apartments (up to 120m ² in size and for up to 7 people) are perfect for families with children who, on the one hand, appreciate plenty of space and, on the other hand, appreciate hotel comfort. New in 2020, an outdoor children's park was added.

There are countless opportunities to explore the beautiful mountain world around the Sonnenalm from spring to autumn. The hotel can give great tips here.

And even for city kids and shopping queens, the route to Meran or Bozen is really just a stone's throw. You shouldn't miss great shops and a really interesting weekly market. Wine connoisseurs drive a little further towards Lake Kaltern with numerous wineries and wineries. And culturally, this corner of South Tyrol also offers a lot to see.
