The Dolomites are an absolute gem simply because of their characteristic appearance in the Alps. The possibilities for exploration are practically unlimited, the only question left is about the base.

Alps, Dolomites, Mountains, South tyrol, Travel, UNESCO World Heritage Site

And my entry point is called: Forestis. With the Forestis, a retreat in the middle of alpine nature has been created, here you will be warmly welcomed. A place of power in the mountains where time can be felt again and physical and mental mindfulness finally get the meaning you deserve. The Forestis is located in an absolutely secluded location at 1,800 m above sea level on the southern slope of Mount Plose, surrounded by dense forests. In July 2020, the new hideaway opened in Palmschoß on the Plose above Brixen.

The South Tyrolean architect Armin Sader and the Forestis interior team have reinterpreted the traditional architecture and created a natural atmosphere throughout the resort by using regional materials. Far removed from everything we are used to, the Forestis sees itself as a protective refuge in which the values of simplicity, naturalness and time can once again be experienced directly by people.

While the suites located in the historic main building have amenities such as a walk-in closet, a separate living area and a south-facing balcony, the Tower Suite features a traditional tiled stove. The penthouse des Forestis is surrounded by dense treetops. Nothing distracts you from the view of the valley, the forested mountains and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites.

In 2000, the South Tyrolean hotelier Alois Hinteregger discovered the existing house from 1913 behind wild hedges during a walk in Palmschoß. Alois Hinteregger immediately felt the extraordinary in this place. A few years later, his family bought the building and opened it as a hotel in 2010. Alois Hinteregger’s son, Stefan, and his partner Teresa Unterthiner developed the Refugium Forestis.

The hosts at the 5-star Hideaway Forestis, Teresa and Stefan, want their guests from all over the world to enjoy the luxury of spending time surrounded by nature and experiencing unforgettable experiences and encounters.
