The best hotels in Tiers am Rosengarten

At the table of King Laurin in Tiers am Rosengarten

One of the smallest and most beautiful valleys in the Dolomites, is without a doubt Tiers am Rosengarten. At 1.000 meters above sea level lies the commune, in between Seiser Alm and Rosengarten in the South Tyrolean Dolomites. The valley entering Valle Isarco offers a popular destination for nature friends, walkers and winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world. A guided walk or a visit in the nature car park Schlern-Rosengarten gives insights into the diversity of plants and animals.

On the alpine meadows Proa above Weißlahnbahn visitors enter a natural terrace, from where the legendary rose garden of King Laurin can be seen especially well. During the “Bergler Weeks” one can enjoy here at a long table - besides the exceptional view to the rose garden - a five-course-menu composed of typical dishes of Tiers. Those who prefer a simpler meal, might enjoy the „Bergler Harass“: a picnic on the alpine pastures with a wooden crate (=Harrass) filled with a typical farmers snack. When the chestnuts are ripe and the wine is harvested in autumn the wine taverns and hotels in Tiers am Rosengarten are wonderful places to indulge in the ravishingly traditional “Törggelen”.

About mills and churches in Tiers

At the village entrance it can be spotted, the old watermill, once providing good service to the millers. Today the historical mill and its stone can be visited gaining informative insights of the past in Tiers. In the village the church of St. George strikes with its patchwork-tower. The lower Romanic part was built in the year 1332. The upper part with the red onion-shaped roof was built later, in the year 1739; particularly worth-while is the ceiling-painting from the late 18th century.

The little church of St. Sebastian was built during the plague-times in the 17th century. It was built on the so-called sanctified ground, where magical rituals and ceremonies have possibly already taken place thousands of years ago.
