Our hotel is located on the vast meadows of the Seiser Alm, shielded from the elements by the Sassolungo and Sassopiatto. Every day we rejoice in the seemingly endless expanses of countryside and the sense of freedom that this sheltered spot gives us.

Our driving inspiration: We want nothing more than to treat you to all-round service where nothing is lacking.
The new Brunelle Seiser Alm Lodge is spurring us on even further: A one-of-a-kind sanctuary in the heart of the countryside, the new Brunelle is a place where you can feel the soul of South Tyrol, and where the many facets of the mountains invite you to discover their magic.
Wherever you go and whatever you choose to do, just do it. We’ll be there to help you!
Hosts with a heart and a vocation
Our family history is steeped in hospitality and love for our homeland. We make a good team with our two sons Alex and Paul, and live our life’s calling in the shelter of the Dolomites. We believe that only true lovers of their homeland can reveal its full beauty to guests.
Our love for our lands is reflected in the name we have given our new Seiser Alm Lodge: “Brunelle” also goes by the name of “Heart of the Earth,” and is one of the plants that blossoms here in the summer months.
Understanding where you’re going
Grandparents Paul and Magdalena – “Lena” – have run the Saltner Hut for many years. Lena bought the plot of land on which the modern-day Hotel Saltria was built in 1964, and which she managed together with Paul and their three children Luis, Paul and Notburga; the ground stone for the hotel business was laid early for the Scherlin family, and with every generation, their love for hospitality has continued to grow.
A feast for the eyes
Beauty is often hidden away in the details. And often it is so strikingly clear to see that we can’t take our eyes from it.
In and around the Brunelle Seiser Alm Lodge, you will find these magnificent visions wherever the eye falls: An image to adorn a calendar, or the simple authenticity that is often harder to spot, a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

For dessert, a mousse of Tyrolean love for home with Alpine ambience fruits.”
A literary narrative of our menu would read something like this. We take great care to source our products regionally, and season and garnish them with a sensitive awareness of the natural taste of each and every dish.

Look out onto the beauty of the meadows and the mountains all around in the panoramic Finnish sauna with its breathtaking views of the Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, or enjoy the soothing warmth and all-enveloping cosiness of the organic sauna and steam bath.
Or why not head to the fitness room for a work out on the cross-trainer, indoor bike, treadmill or power station before you treat yourself to a well-earned break on warm water beds in the relaxation room with fire pit?
And if you fancy a revitalising snack, from 3 pm every day we stock our Vitality corner with tea, fresh spring water and seasonal fruit, nuts and dried fruits.

The indoor eye-catcher in the large panoramic sauna comes in the form of an ultra-stylish dark metal stove. The nude sauna zone is open from 3pm every day and is open to adults and teenagers aged 16 and over.
Relaxing and fun: Swimming
Our indoor pool measures 12 x 6 m and, at a pleasant 30°C, it is a wonderful place to swim a few lengths whatever the weather.

The relaxation room comes complete with water beds and rocking loungers and is accessible from the swimming pool, providing yet another perfect spot to while away moments of contemplative peace.
