Alpiana Resort

The new ALPIANA RESORT is a family business run with passion! The Hotel Völlanerhof was the anchor of calm for guests in search for relaxation, the ideal starting point for thrill-seekers and a place where a holiday in South Tyrol was made complete for over 40 years. Four decades full of encounters, adventures and emotions. Quality before quantity is still the motto for the new stage of our family project.

ALPIANA RESORT receives the Wellness Heaven Award 2015 in the category "Culinary Delights"

We are proud of having been selected as one of the five best wellness hotels in the German-speaking area. The decision about who receives the Wellness Heaven Award is not made by a top-class expert jury but by a multitude of knowledgeable wellness-voters. The idea behind it: the wisdom of many brings the best hotels to light. Nominated for the award were only those 87 hotels which achieved top grades in one of the five assessment categories wellness, culinary delights, rooms, location or service. The users have now selected the five best hotels via online voting and have chosen the ALPIANA RESORT as best hotel in the category ”Culinary Delights“. A total of 85.035 votes have been evaluated, making this a representative result. Dr. Tassilo Keilmann says about the hotel test in April 2015: “Almost ten years of intensive travel and evaluation of the world’s best wellness hotels has become a challenge to truly amaze the testers of Wellness Heaven. The Margesins have taken up and mastered the challenge with flying colours even though the ALPIANA RESORT, formerly Völlanerhof and a beauty and gem in the heart of South Tyrol, only opened in March 2015.“
