In harmony with natureWe live for the mountains, we love nature
In the midst of the majestic Dolomites, at the foot of the Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park, the Alpinhotel Vajolet in Tires combines the beauty of the mountains with warm hospitality. As a family-run hotel, managed by us four siblings, we place great importance on personal care and an environment where sustainability and humanity are at the heart of everything. We want you not only to have an unforgettable time in the mountains, but also to help preserve nature.
Roots and wings: Connection to nature and responsibility
Our location at the foot of the Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park compels us to act in harmony with nature. As a partner of Vitalpinahotels, we are fully committed to sustainability. We work daily to reduce our ecological footprint and make eco-friendly decisions in all areas of our hotel. At the center of our commitment are you as a guest and our team. Pathfinders in the mountains: Personal experiences in nature
We want to offer you unique alpine experiences in the breathtaking scenery of the Catinaccio. Whether hiking, skiing, or other outdoor activities, we encourage you to consciously experience nature. These adventures not only boost your health but also strengthen your connection to nature. Together, we ensure that this beautiful landscape is preserved for future generations. Rock-solid: Elegance meets sustainability
At the Alpinhotel Vajolet, sporty elegance merges with sustainable thinking. In the architecture of our hotel as well as in our daily operations, we use natural and eco-friendly materials. We create an atmosphere that combines tradition and modernity. With renewable energies, water-saving technologies, and recycling measures, we actively contribute to the protection of our unique environment, so you can enjoy nature carefree. Earth that nourishes: Regional cooperation and fresh ideas
A key part of our sustainable philosophy is close collaboration with the local community and regional producers. We are particularly proud of our “Begleracker” project: a joint initiative with other hotels in Tires, where we grow vegetables locally. These freshly harvested vegetables land directly on your plate without any transport – zero kilometers for maximum taste. You not only enjoy regional flavors but also actively contribute to responsible consumption. Humanity in the mountain breeze: Relationships based on mutual respect
Our team and you as a guest are at the heart of our work. We create a work environment based on trust, respect, and collaboration. Regular training on eco-friendly practices ensures that our staff always makes the best decisions for the environment. With us, you will experience personal, warm care, where everything revolves around your well-being. Here, we want you to feel at home – in the midst of our family atmosphere.
