Tucked away in the pristine South Tyrolean Sarentino Valley the Bad Schörgau is a truly exclusive hideaway. Only 15 minutes away from Bolzano – yet a whole new world. An idyllic world, far off from anything kitsch, from postcard motives and tourist hordes.
It has been a long time from 1533 since today but the old spirit of the rural bathing culture is still alive. The Wenter Family stands for it. With lots of enthusiasm, engagement and feeling they make all the guests feel like being part of the Bad Schörgau.
They’re always open to new ideas and projects. Standing still is an unknown phrase. And that’s why also in the future there’ll happen a lot at the Bad Schörgau…
The mountains of the Val Sarentino/Sarntal Alps surround the valley that stretches its way up north from Bolzano like a protective horseshoe. It is a quiet oasis, tucked away between the main arteries that are the Eisack/Isarco and Etsch/Adige valleys.
The high mountains in the north flatten out towards the south and result in a fascinating natural landscape – just a few kilometres from the bustling regional capital.

ROOMS & SUITES
The Bad Schörgau house grew over the decades, which is also made visible in our rooms. All of our 22 rooms carry the scent of wood and fresh alpine air. The only difference is the furniture: either a spacious, clean interior design in our main house, or a modernly furnished alpine room in the ‘Holzhotel’ (Wood Hotel).
It doesn’t matter which one you choose, the feeling remains the same: it’s like sleeping at a friend’s place. All of our rooms have been restored between 2017 and 2018.
IT’S TIME TO RETHINK STAR-AWARDED CUISINE
RESTAURANT ALPES
Top cuisine free of constraints, demands and expectations. Instead, an immersion including all the senses, sitting together at the same table and being accompanied by the best natural wines. This is the Restaurant Alpes’ philosophy. Here every guest enjoys at the highest level and feels the stars shine in every dish.
Our young but highly decorated kitchen team led by Mattia Baroni combines passion for enjoyment with fresh ideas – always authentic, always noticeably different. Here, the original tastes of South Tyrol and Italy reign.
At lunchtime and in the evening we serve different dishes, small or large – of course always freshly prepared. In addition you will have the choice between a good bottle or glass of wine. To guarantee great variety our dishes change constantly, while Gregor’s cheese recommendations form the culinary constancy.
LABORATORY FOR FUTURE GASTRONOMY
LA FUGA
The concept of La Fuga describes the basic philosophy of Gregor and Mattia: How they see the world of gastronomy in the future. A research laboratory, so to speak, for food, drink, spa and the hotel industry.
Translated La Fuga means “to run away” – and that is to be taken literally. The two protagonists leave all the specifications behind them and freely implement their ideas, shaping their world of gastronomy.
La Fuga in the Alpes marks the start. A restaurant that doesn’t want to be a restaurant after all. Rather a play in several acts, moderated by the main actors Mattia and Gregor, co-designed by the guests of the evening. Or a journey through the wonderful world of natural food and drink.
THE PARLOUR 1988
TRADITION AND HISTORY
The cozy parlour in our main house exists since 1988. A place of tradition and history – but brought to modernity just as the rest of Bad Schörgau. If there is a better place to enjoy a half-board dinner menu we surely haven’t found it yet… And our guests agree!
WINE CELLAR
As wine lovers we care about the South Tyrolean and Italian wine culture. Our wine cellar is the reign of Gregor Wenter. Constantly over 400 different fine wines are stored in our wine cellar. Among these there are several rarities and of course different sparkling wines.
EXCELLENT WINE CULTURE
Well-known treasures are perfectly complemented with a selection of small well-kept secrets. All our wines are unique and selected with special attention. They come from small emerging wineries from South Tyrol, Italy and other growing regions of the world.
Most of the wines come from natural cultivation. Thus, the idea of health always resonates with the enjoyment of wine. Gregor Wenter is happy to tell you the story behind the wines. Or take a trip to our wine cellar. Just ask us!

PHILOSOPHY
A LONG TRADITION
It’s already in the name: Bad means ‘bath’ in German. Bad Schörgau has a long lasting tradition as a ‘farmer’s bath’. The hotel’s very own fresh water spring has already been mentioned as a medicinal spring in 1624. The water is very soothing due to its high iron and sulphur content.
We are committed to this long history and also to the farmer’s bath traditions. This is why we wanted to combine the traditional methods with modern elements. The base is always formed by our very own spring water and other high quality natural ingredients.
TREHS = 100% NATURE
Trehs’ products are based on traditions and their close connections to the place of origin and the people who live there. Every TREHS® product is based on oral traditions of demotic elixirs – but made with top of the line technologies.
That is why our cosmetic care products are of the highest quality and recommended by general practitioners. Mountain pine, moonwood from Sarentino, mountain hay from the Alpe di Siusi or vine water from the Manincor Winery – all of these active components can tell you a story.
Feel the raw power of the mountains bundled up in natural and high quality cosmetic care products. It all started at Bad Schörgau: this is where the idea of turning the unique Sarentinian mountain pine into an exclusive product line was born.
Then, together with partners from the valley, Trehs was founded. Today Bad Schörgau is home to the Trehs-House. Feel the power of the Sarentino mountains right at its place of origin!

IYASHI DÔME
Detoxification and revitalization of the body according to an ancient Japanese practice. During the treatment, the same amount of sweat is produced as with a running distance of 20 km. This can be up to 1200 ml concerning the whole body, which corresponds to a consumption of up to 600 kcal.
A PLACE TO DRAW STRENGTH AND BE INSPIRED!
THE FARMER’S BATH
In building the farmer’s bath we paid special attention to all elements making sense. They should not only be valuable in an architectural way but also contribute significantly to the regeneration of body and mind. And, of course, tradition and zeitgeist are linked closely, too.
The numerous source water stations with apple vinegar invite to cleanse your body from the inside. The Kneipp water-treading basin with a view to the weather cross is meant to bundle energies. The ripple of the water stimulates the hearing sense.
The Sarentino porphyry stone in the outdoor sauna comes from our source origin and narrates the water’s tale. The oxidized quartzite of the swimming-pool emphasises its smoothness.
THE ‘SEPPL-STODEL’ BARN
In 2017 we devoted our time to a project that was very close to our heart: reviving our historical barn. As with everything else we tackle, we wanted to form a connection between tradition and the current zeitgeist.
This is why we left the outer facade unaltered with its adorning elements and window shutters. Other parts have been restructured, for example: We used the original working table that was already used in the 19th century to make the ‘monk roof tiles’ with local porphyry sand.
The interior has been newly designed. For this we used natural spruce and also hemp, one of the oldest agricultural crops in the world. The room should make you feel safe and comfortable while the ornaments are symbols of local tradition: simple yet generous, no excessive flourishes but a delicate and pure embellishment.
THE CONCEPT
Nature delivered our “building materials”: stone and wood – firm and durable, yet warm and comfortable all in one. We chose Sarentino porphyry for the floors and stucco works. Local larch wood has been used for doors, floors and for the furniture.
Traditional craftsmanship, such as peacock quill embroidery for the door handles, form a connection to Sarentino culture.
What happens inside is what’s really interesting: Egon Heiss’ cooking academy and the makeup Trehs-House call the wonderful barn their home. There is also a modern room with top-notch equipment which is ideal for meetings and workshops.
SECRETS OF A STAR-AWARDED CUISINE
BAD SCHÖRGAU’S COOKING ACADEMY
A five meter long, 22.000 kilogramme heavy, gray-green Sarentino porphyry cooking block is the centerpiece of the academy. Only the working surface has been flattened, the rest of the block is still raw stone.
THE CONCEPT
The pattern of the hall is based on circles. Circles are the most stable geometric form and inspire a feeling of safety and protection. The circles overlap to form a wonderful star-shaped and three-dimensional ceiling.
The outer facade is based on the same geometrical principle, though lacking the “stars”. The rest of the interior has been lined with hand limed spruce wood and hemp.
THE USE
The cooking area is connected to a big hall that can seat up to 100 guests. You can rent out this hall for both private and business events. Not only cooking classes are held here: The hall is also frequently used for first-class concerts and cultural events.
WORKSHOPS & CONFERENCES
A SPACE WITH VERY SPECIAL ENERGY
Workshops, incentives, business training or conventions – all of these events and more can be held in he “Seppl-Stodel” barn. The perfect location to get away from the daily grind and noise.
The conference room has direct access to the terrace and has a capacity of up to 30 people. You’ll find the most modern presentation equipment and will be treated to culinary highlights. We offer the whole package – the perfect ambience to get work done!
AT THE PLACE OF ORIGIN
TREHS-HOUSE
Bad Schörgau is where the makeup brand Trehs was born. This is where the idea of making exclusive and high quality products out of the Sarentino mountain pine came to life.
Then, together with partners from the valley, the brand Trehs was founded. Bad Schörgau is home to the brand since 2017. The Trehs-House motto is “smell, see and most of all feel the connection between nature and cosmetics!”
