A historic hotel in the Italian Dolomites

A brief outline of the eventful history of our house

The chairlifts go round at Alpe di Siusi and transport numerous guests up and down the mountain every day. They come to enjoy the unspoilt nature, the fresh air and the incomparable views - in winter and summer alike. That this is possible at all is also due to the builder of Alpenhotel Panorama.

In the distant year 1938, Walter Griesser built the first ski lift of Alpe di Siusi on this location, with an associated restaurant at the mountain station. The first two guest rooms were opened in 1950. Further renovations and extensions followed in 1962, 1997 and finally in 2011, when the hotel was upgraded from 3 to 4 stars.

Our historic hotel in Italy has therefore grown along with the touristic development of Alpe di Siusi. However, standing still was and is not an option for us: we always endeavour to adapt our offer to the requirements of the times, but without forgetting our roots. Speaking of roots: below, you can read more about the values that characterise our hotel in the mountains on the Dolomites…

Regionality

Regionality and sustainability are inseparable. Using regional and seasonal products not only protects the environment, but also ensures the healthiest and tastiest preparations. In our kitchen we prefer to use South Tyrolean products, or even some directly from Alpe di Siusi.

Sustainability

We make an effort to work in a resource-conserving manner so that future generations can also enjoy their holiday in the mountains at Alpe di Siusi. We avoid using unnecessary plastic wherever possible and only activate the minibars in the rooms on request.

Quality cuisine

Our chef transforms everything that the mountain pastures and our beautiful land have to offer into refined dishes from South Tyrolean and Italian cuisine. Quality and flavour always go hand in hand with us. This also applies to the drinks: a fine wine is just the right thing to round off a successful day in the mountain.

Hospitality

This is literally in our blood. Travellers from all over the world have been visiting our beautiful natural paradise for generations. Sharing it with them is a matter of course for us. That's why we do everything we can to make your stay as pleasant and unforgettable as possible.

Family friendliness

In addition to founding a hotel and developing tourism at Alpe di Siusi, Walter Griesser and his wife have raised four children. Even today, there is always something going on at Alpenhotel with our three children - and our guests travelling with their little ones appreciate the wide range of excursion options for all ages around our family hotel in the Alps.

Authenticity

At Alpenhotel we move with the times, but at the same time we want to give our guests an authentic insight into life on an alpine pasture; how it used to be, but also how it is for us today. When you holiday with us, you are not just a spectator, but you get to know our lifestyle and environment first-hand.
