Experience diversity in Villanders

From Klausen in Eisacktal a roads leads up to Villanders. Situated on the sunny side, this area was already populated during Stone Age and served over centuries as important settlement, also for the Romans. The communal area extends from the river bed of Eisack up to the high plain of Villanders. Visitors find here a nature paradise and a fantastic panorama which invites to stay and relax.

Field „Plunacker“ was the site of discovery for remains from ancient times: from the Stone, the Bronze and the Iron Age, from the Romans and the early Middle Ages. These discoveries gave way to the foundation of the Archeopark directly on site. Another testimony of the past is the adventure mine in Villanders. During the Middle Ages one of the most important mines in Tyrol, it was forgotten after its shut down. Today it can be visited within a guided tour.

On the high plain of Villanders

The high plain of Villanders in the midst of the Sarntaler Alps is the second largest high plain in Europe and convinces mountaineers and walkers equally – with its spectacular view over the Dolomites in Eisacktal and the glaciers of the Alps. During summer traditional cabins dish up typical South Tyrolean delicacies. On the way await sites such as Castle Gravetsch, Castle Gernstein or Bath Dreikirchen, giving insight into the history of the village.

On the South Tyrolean Chestnut-Road the taverns of Villanders invite during autumn to the popular „Törggelen“: the tasting of new wine or must along with traditional South Tyrolean dishes and roasted chestnuts. During winter the central location gives easy access to numerous ski areas: Alta Badia, Plose near Brixen, Gitschberg Jochtal near Vals. A net of cross-country tracks leads all the way to Rittner Horn, and toboggan-runs provide lots of fun for kids of all ages. In the evening the inns and hotels in Villanders invite for a get-together and a savoury dinner. Find here the most beautiful hotels in Villanders in the South Tyrolean Valle Isarco.

  • We are currently staying here for six nights with my husband and our dog for a ski holiday, and overall we are having a very good experience. The hotel has been newly renovated and features a very modern design with bright, natural colors. The rooms feel fresh and comfortable, the beds are very cozy, the towels are fluffy, and the windows can be completely darkened, which makes for excellent sleep. However, a small note regarding the newly renovated rooms: in many of them the toilet is separated from the open bathroom only by a glass door next to the sink, which offers very little privacy. For that reason we chose a smaller Smart Plus room. It has a rather narrow layout, but the toilet is fully separate with a proper door. Considering that the hotel aims to be a 4-star superior property, there are a few small details missing that one would normally expect at this price level. In the room there is no cosmetic mirror (which is almost essential for people who wear glasses), no cosmetic tissues, no conditioner, no body lotion, no laundry bag, and no shoehorn — items that even many standard 4-star hotels usually provide. Another small but somewhat awkward detail: feminine hygiene products should not be disposed of in the toilet, which is of course understandable. However, the room only has a small open trash bin, which is not the most comfortable solution for this situation. One of the biggest highlights is the staff. Everyone is extremely friendly, helpful, and attentive — at the reception, in the restaurant, at the bar, and also the housekeeping team. This truly makes a big difference in any hotel. Ernesto in particular has been wonderfully kind and even frothed warm soy milk for us on request. The food is outstanding at all meals. In the morning I especially love the fresh juice press and the large selection of nuts, chia seeds, bee pollen, dried fruits and many other options for a healthy muesli. The only slightly amusing exception is the “egg chef,” who has the charm of a drill sergeant and is perhaps best approached with caution. Because we are traveling with our dog, the hotel kindly assigned us a table in a side room of the restaurant where dogs are allowed. Unfortunately, this room feels rather bare, bright, and not very cozy, so we actually prefer leaving our furry friend in the room during dinner. In the restaurant, if you are lucky enough to get a table by the large street-facing windows, the space is bright and pleasant. However, there are also dining areas without windows, which means very little daylight and no view. The location is excellent for skiing: the slope can be reached with a short 20-meter walk along the road, and a ski rental shop is located directly across from the hotel. Overall it‘s not a quiet place due to it’s location directly at the main street. The fitness room is small but equipped with very high-quality machines. People who are familiar with training equipment will find everything they need. I cannot comment on the wellness area, as we usually do not use spa facilities. The underground parking garage is spacious enough even for somewhat larger cars. Overall, we are enjoying our stay very much thanks to the friendly staff, great food, modern design, and excellent location for skiing — but a few additional amenities and small improvements would make the hotel truly live up to its 4-star superior claim.
  • Stosunek jakości do ceny oraz położenie Hotelu. Do każdego ośrodka było bardzo blisko. Do ski busów wystarczyło przejść na drugi stronę ulicy. Restauracja z miłą.obsługą i bardzo dobrym chefem. Polecam z czystym sercem.
  • Our favourite place to stay in the Dolomites for a ski holiday, Hotel Gran Baita has become a genuine home-from-home that we look forward to returning to year after year. The food is consistently superb, with generous breakfasts and beautifully prepared dinners that feel closer to fine dining than to standard “ski hotel” fare. The atmosphere throughout the hotel is relaxed and casual, so you can properly unwind after a day on the mountain. Staff are friendly and always make us feel genuinely welcome, from reception to the restaurant and bar, and that warmth really adds to the overall experience. Gran Baita is the place we keep coming back to, and it’s the first hotel we recommend to friends planning a trip to the Dolomites.
