The 4-star Mountain Chalet Stern in the Wipptal Valley, nestled in the South Tyrolean Dolomites, is located directly on the slopes of the Rosskopf, Sterzing's local mountain. With its 8 exclusive mountain suites, it offers a luxurious retreat with breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks. Each suite is meticulously designed down to the smallest detail and offers fully equipped kitchens as well as terraces and balconies for unparalleled panoramic views. Some suites feature private spa areas with spacious Swiss stone pine or organic herbal saunas, cozy relaxation lounges with heated waterbeds, and atmospheric fireplaces or whirlpools for romantic moments for two. Additionally, there is a small external spa area with a Finnish sauna and a relaxation room with mountain hay beds available. As very special highlights, guests can spend the night in the outdoor bedroom under the open sky in summer and also enjoy the outdoor shower and the outdoor jacuzzi, the Kneipp circuit, and the bathing pond.
The day begins for all guests with a hearty breakfast buffet prepared with local and regional products, including those from the chalet's own garden. In the evening, guests can enjoy reinterpretations of South Tyrolean dishes in the restaurant Sternhütte or barbecue on the sunny panoramic terrace upon request.
In summer, the chalets are the ideal starting point for hikes, walks, or summit tours with panoramic views at 2000 meters above sea level. Nearby is the Rossy Park with llama trekking as well as a summer toboggan run. In the valley lies Italy's most beautiful small town, the historic center of Sterzing, inviting visitors to stroll, visit the city theater or go to the cinema. Excursions to Brixen, Innsbruck, or the Gilfenklamm with spectacular suspension bridges, as well as tennis and golf courses, riding stables, and paragliding, round off the offer.
In winter, on the other hand, the ski slopes are right on the doorstep, inviting winter sports enthusiasts to unforgettable descents and snowshoe hikes in the snowy landscape. Italy's longest illuminated toboggan run ensures tobogganing fun until late in the evening. Afterwards, alpine pastures and mountain huts invite you to enjoy culinary highlights of South Tyrolean cuisine. In winter, Sterzing transforms into a fairytale-like place with a beautiful Christmas market, where mulled wine and traditional dishes are particularly enjoyable. The Balneum bathing world also invites you to relax and enjoy a wellness evening after an eventful day in the nature.
The Mountain Chalet Stern promises its guests an unforgettable luxury holiday with panoramic views in the breathtaking South Tyrolean mountain world.
