Villages to fall in love with

The Valles high valley is 1,300 m above sea level with a view of the Dolomites and offers hikers and bikers fantastic opportunities in the summer. In winter, it attracts plenty of ski fans with its welcoming ski resort and perfectly groomed slopes.

But Valles and the surrounding area are not just for the more active amongst you. The Puster Valley holds many cultural treasures, such as the picturesque town of Brunico with the Messner Mountain Museum, which can be reached in about half an hour from Valles.

The city of Bressanone with the renowned Bishops Cathedral and the Novacella Monastery (15 minutes away), and Vipiteno (20 minutes away) are definitely worth a visit.

These cities are full of cultural sites and a trip to the numerous museums, castles and churches is certainly worthwhile. Shopping is also a great way to spend a day out. Stylish boutiques, fascinating specialty shops and delightful souvenir shops are ensconced along the romantic arcades.

A mountain hut jamboree
Setting off to our own mountain hut on the Malga Fane is a wonderful adventure. Known far and wide: the Malga Fane. At an altitude of 1,740 m, 35 traditional huts and hay sheds form the most beautiful village of mountain huts in South Tyrol at the valley head of Valles.

The idyllic scene that greets you here could not be more beautiful. No cars disturb this peaceful image, just traditional Alpine huts and untouched nature as far as the eye can see.

A show cheese-making dairy, play and refreshment facilities plus the chance to go on numerous mountain and refuge hut tours make the Malga Fane a rewarding and enjoyable destination.

One of the protected Alpine huts, originating from the Middle Ages, belongs to our Hotel Masl.One of the protected Alpine huts, originating from the Middle Ages, belongs to our Hotel Masl. A guided hike to our Masl hut is offered once a week.

Where sustainability is a tradition in life
Sustainability has always played an important role at the Alpin Hotel Masl, just as it does today. The small grain mill on the Rio di Valles was part of the Masl farm and owned by the Messner family as far back as 1941.

Electricity was not widely available in those days, so the mill was repurposed to use the energy from the ever-turning waterwheel to produce electricity. At the time, it gave enough power to supply half of all the households in Valles and was considered a valuable source of energy for the picturesque valley.

Josef Messner (senior) modernised the hydropower plant in the grain mill in 1981. Today, exactly 80 years after it was founded, the power plant has yet again been adapted to keep pace with the state of the art.

It now generates Co2-free electricity for the Alpin Hotel Masl – clean and ecological. The Alpin Hotel Masl also has other areas where sustainability is practised in addition to the hydropower plant.

Dating back to 1997, the rooms of the Alpin Hotel Masl have been heated by the ‘Valles district heating plant’, one of the first district heating plants in South Tyrol. The energy supplied is obtained from wood, a natural raw material that comes from the region.

Local wood was also one of the materials that was used during the various renovations and upgrades at the 4-star superior hotel. Fine timbers skilfully fashioned by South Tyrolean craftsmen who epitomise the highest standards of quality.

Fresh, crystal-clear mountain spring water flows from every tap in the hotel. This precious natural resource comes from our own spring. All guests of the Alpin Hotel Masl can drink the pure Valles spring water free of charge at the dining table (service charge), as well as in the rooms and the wellness area.

Once a week, we invite you to join us on ‘Masl’s journey through time’. Your hosts, the Messner family, take you on a tour of their farm, to the old grain mill and the hydropower plant.
