Langtaufererhof
A rooftop wellness centre at 1,870 metres
About this hotel
Langtaufererhof sits at 1,870 metres, high enough in the valley that the rooftop wellness centre feels genuinely elevated rather than just a marketing line, with a sauna, Turkish bath and hot tub up top and a large relaxation area with water beds below. The alpine-style rooms use carpeted or wooden floors with a seating area, and select rooms carry a safe, minibar and satellite TV. The restaurant specialises in regional dishes for lunch and dinner, and the buffet breakfast runs until ten with South Tyrol specialities included. A winter garden and a fully wood-panelled bar round out the common areas, and staff organise guided mountain tours and excursions for anyone wanting to get off-piste on foot. The Passo Resia ski slopes are a few minutes' drive away, and the family-run atmosphere carries through every part of the stay, from the dining room to the front desk and the wellness floor above.

Our take
Travellers wanting genuine altitude and a rooftop wellness centre as the highlight of their stay will get the most from Langtaufererhof, especially with the guided excursions on offer. Anyone wanting to walk straight to the lifts should note the slopes are a short drive rather than a walk from the property.
- Book a guided mountain excursion through the staff if the weather turns, it's an easy alternative to a lift-line day
- Use the rooftop wellness centre at altitude in the late afternoon, the water bed relaxation area rarely gets crowded then
- Check which rooms include the minibar and satellite TV at booking, not every category has both
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe rooftop wellness centre at this altitude has a different feel to a standard ground-floor spa, the water bed relaxation area especially, and it becomes the natural stop before dinner rather than an optional extra. Staff arranging a guided excursion on a lower-visibility day turns what could be a wasted afternoon into the trip's highlight instead. Dinner sticking to regional dishes rather than a generic hotel menu is consistent with how the whole property leans into where it actually is.
