The Secret Valley

The Drumlerhof Hotel is situated at the entrance of the Valle Aurina (Ahrntal in German), a valley just waiting to be explored, far from the clamour and noise found in the touristy spots. Here, you’ll find more than eighty peaks that soar to heights above three thousand metres. You’ll avoid those long lines of cars that destroy the Alpine experience. Bikes, too, are less obtrusive here. If you want to get closer to Mother Nature, communing with her far removed from all that exasperating consumption and the mass tourism that invades South Tyrol’s picture-postcard destinations… well, you are warmly welcome here at our place. The Aurina Valley’s spectacular mountains and beautiful waterfalls make it perfect for anyone seeking peace and tranquillity. International newspapers and magazines define the valley as the ideal place for outdoor tourism. And yes, the Drumlerhof team can confirm this.
