Six places – six exhibitions – six experiences
Reinhold Messner has dedicated to the mountains and the mountain culture a unique project, a network of museums located in six extraordinary places in South Tyrol and Belluno.

The Messner Mountain Museum is a place of encounter with the mountains, with mountain people and ultimately with ourselves. Every visit is like a mountain tour, especially recommended when the weather is good, and an MMM round trip (with the MMM Tour Ticket) is a unique experience!

Two of the 6 museums (Corones, Ripa, Juval, Ortles, Dolomites, Firmian), are situated directly near the Berghotel Zirm and are reachable in a few minutes!

A trip from the Hotel Zirm to Brunico/Bruneck
The city of Brunico/Bruneck is only about 15 kilometres from our Berghotel Zirm on Plan de Corones/Kronplatz and gives you the opportunity to spend a pleasant day in a unique atmosphere.

Taste Mediterranean delicacies and regional specialties, stroll along the nice pedestrian area and enjoy the panorama of the surrounding mountains.

The capital of Val Pusteria/Pustertal is more than 750 years old. Once there were only two rows of houses, but over the course of time, the little village developed into an important centre in the heart of South Tyrol.

Holidays near Brunico/Bruneck: between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea
Narrow alleys and rows of old houses around the castle hill: the townscape corresponds to a medieval settlement. Nevertheless, a ubiquitous Italian touch intensifies the holiday mood.

Small boutiques and lovely cafés in the old town invite you to stay for a while and to enjoy the pleasant ambience to your heart’s content. In addition, there are many cultural sights, for instance the castle high above Brunico/Bruneck, a Capuchin monastery, several small churches and art exhibitions.

South Tyrolean cuisine: alpine & Mediterranean delicacies
South Tyrol combines not only cordial hospitality and typical Mediterranean cosiness, but also hearty farmers’ dishes and southern art of cooking. Moreover, the chef prepares many culinary delights with regional and seasonal products and according to traditional recipes.

After an eventful day in the wonderful nature of the Dolomites, you can enjoy for instance a tasty beef carpaccio with goat’s cheese cubes or fortify yourself with palatable dumplings with bacon or spinach. Finally, we drink to a fantastic holiday with a glass of wine or a grappa.

Winter holidays at the Hotel Zirm on Plan de Corones/Kronplatz
Normally the traditional Christmas market in Brunico/Bruneck in South Tyrol opens in late November. Its small wooden houses and stands are decorated with loving care, the trees are illuminated with strings of lights and the Dolomites are covered with a thick blanket of snow.

Christmassy smells and holiday mood are in the air. Here you can have a wonderful time far away from hustle and bustle and enjoy a quiet and contemplative advent.

Christmas Eve at our Hotel Zirm
The custom of the Christmas tree decorated with colourful baubles and candles is about 400 years old. At Christmas Eve, the Christ child brings presents for everyone and puts them under the Christmas tree. We listen to Christmas stories, sing carols, eat Christmas biscuits and drink some warm tea or punch.

Christmas Day is a leisurely day and we usually stay with our families and friends. In the evening, soft Christmas carols are provided as background to a sumptuous Christmas dinner at our Hotel Zirm. Afterwards we stroll together through the snow and go to Christmas mass in the small church of the village.
