In the hidden South Tyrolean Sarntal valley, a special relationship with mountain pine has developed over the years.

Visitors can experience the beneficial power of the Sarntal mountain pine on mountain pine walks and in the original Sarntal mountain pine bath.
For centuries, the inhabitants of the rustic Sarntal have used their Sarntal mountain pine as a universal remedy. The impressive effects of the mountain pine oil, which was considered antibacterial, stimulates blood circulation and has anti-inflammatory properties, have now even been scientifically proven. Whether on the natural mountain pine trail from the Pichlbergalm to the Getrumalm or past the mighty porphyry walls of the Sarner Scharte - on a mountain pine hike, hikers discover the secrets of the miracle plant step by step.

Bedded on Sarner Latsche - an unusual, relaxing bathing experience
What could be better than relaxing in a warm, fragrant bath after an impressive hike in the mountains? The inhabitants of the Sarentino Valley discovered these pleasures for themselves early on and created a very special bathing experience in harmony with nature - the mountain pine bath.
For this purpose, mountain pines are harvested by hand in the Sarntal mountains from June onwards.

In the probably most unique bath in the world, the original Sarntal mountain pine bath, the guests then rest in warm (50°-60° C) and wonderfully fragrant "Reischn" (mountain pine chaff after distillation). The essential oils of the mountain pine that escape through the heat have a wonderfully relaxing effect and at the same time act against joint and muscle pain. A cold shower at the end stimulates the circulation and awakens the spirits.
