Our hotel is located in the heart of a classic biking region, and offers some of the best starting points for great touring and cruising.

Already heard of Passo delle Erbe? No? Then check out what you’ve been missing! The beautiful winding mountain road connects the Val Isarco valley and the valley of Badia. Other attractions include Bressanone and the Ladin-speaking valley areas of San Martino, plus – high up in the mountains – Antermoia and the Hotel Pütia, in the heart of the ancient region of South Tyrol. This family-run establishment in Antermoia offers a fine starting point for exploring the great passes through the Dolomites, with the Passo Stalle and Passo di Furcia both close by. Many-faceted: the panoramic views from the roof terrace; many and varied: the mixture of Ladin, Italian and international cuisine.
