& PRISTINE NATURE
One of our weekly highlights is located at about 1,150 meters above sea level, high on an idyllic clearing in the Marlinger Berg. We're talking about our very own Waldner Alm, which you can experience up close on a relaxing hike every Wednesday, accompanied by our Wally.
Once a peaceful retreat for our grandfather "Vatti" Franz Waldner III, as well as friends and acquaintances of the family, the charming alpine hut has now become a small nature paradise for both young and old. Over the course of a century, the simple wooden structure – which has been owned by the Waldner family since 1906 – has been expanded and carefully transformed into our current, charming mountain house.
In the 1980s, a small chapel was even built in honor of Saint Hubertus, the patron saint of hunting and hunters.

From there, a relaxing hike, suitable for all ages, will lead you to our historic hut. Enjoy stunning panoramas, unique views of the Etschtal valley, and a typical South Tyrolean snack – with speck, cheese, and Vinschger Paarl – the perfect reward for diligent hikers.
By the way, when you visit our alpine hut, you're in excellent company. Well-known personalities, such as Diego Maradona, have also spent time at our Waldner Alm.
