Hofer Alpl In Fiè allo sciliar

A stay in the Dolomites isn't something you can improvise, especially in winter. Even with advance planning, it's almost impossible to find a hut that's available during the Christmas season. Only two or three accommodations brave the cold season to accommodate the most intrepid—and that was us. We had the privilege of staying at Hofer Alpl from December 26th to 29th, and it was unthinkable that we would leave without writing a report about the experience, as it surpassed everything we could have ever imagined. Hofer Alpl is the essence of Alpine hospitality, where warmth and refinement blend without ostentation. There are no excesses here that would detract from the raw charm of the mountains, but rather a perfect balance between comfort and authenticity. An oasis where you feel appropriately welcomed and the soul of the place is respected. The cuisine, rooted in local tradition, proves unexpectedly refined. Each plate, generous and masterful, speaks elegantly of the region. The service, in turn, is of rare attentiveness, and we would especially like to thank Nora for her kindness and tireless availability. The prices are far from the extravagances one might fear and remain extremely fair given the quality of the experience. The team demonstrates remarkable flexibility, responding to even the smallest needs without ever giving the impression of being overly busy. And then there's the setting. Nature is sovereign, framing the hut in absolute silence.

We only went for lunch and didn't spend the night. Eating coleslaw with bacon and tagliatelle with ragout was very tasty. Very friendly staff. Can't say anything about the overnight stay and the room.

Fantastically located hut with good food and quick service. Prices appropriate for the location. Card payment possible. It takes about 2 hours to walk from Völs, or 3 hours with small children.

With a group of friends we spent a wonderful New Year's Eve at the Hofer Alpl hut: quality food, very kind staff, very suggestive atmosphere and some nice surprises out of program. I recommend this place all year round for a nice trip to the mountains. Don't miss the splendid view from the terrace!

Sensational South Tyrolean dishes, served by extremely friendly staff! There is also a wonderful view of the valley from Völs down to Bolzano.

Die Wanderung zur Almhütte dauert etwa eine Stunde und führt durch einen idyllischen Wald. Schon der Weg dorthin ist ein Highlight, doch die Belohnung erwartet einen bei der Ankunft: Eine wunderschöne Almhütte in einer atemberaubenden Umgebung mit den freundlichsten Gastgebern. Die Speisekarte überzeugt mit qualitativ hochwertigen Gerichten, die perfekt aufeinander abgestimmt sind. Auch das Übernachten ist ein echter Traum – die gemütlichen Zimmer, ausgestattet mit eigenem Bad und Dusche, bieten maximalen Komfort. Ein perfekter Ort für Erholung und Genuss inmitten der Natur!

We had a snack there on the hiking trail, it was great

It was one of the best meals in one of the huts in the Sciliar area. The friendly service rounded off the perfect impression. Or it was the delicious tiramisu and the magnificent view of the valley all the way to Bolzano.

Even though the weather could have been better today, Hofer Alpl was on our way at just the right time and provided us with delicious food and the best service. Unfortunately we were denied the great view.

Wir sind hier aif unseren Wanderungen eingekehrt und haben uns gut stärken können. Der Hof verfügt über einen schönen Außenbereich mit tollem Blick. Der Service war flott und freundlich, und die lokalen Spezialitäten haben uns auch gut geschmeckt.
