Olang, South Tyrol, October 2025 - High above the Puster Valley, where heaven and earth meet, winter at Hotel Hubertus begins with a spectacle of light, silence and architectural poetry. The 5-star hotel at the foot of Plan de Corones combines avant-garde design with a soul close to nature - and thus becomes a winter retreat for aesthetes, connoisseurs and exercise seekers alike.
An architectural masterpiece between heaven and earth
The Hubertus has long been an icon of contemporary Alpine architecture. The spectacular Sky Pool - 25 meters long and seemingly floating - lifts the water into the sky and blurs the boundaries between snow-covered winter landscape and architecture. A glass front opens up the view far into the Dolomites, while a floor window completes the feeling of floating.
The Sky Spa Heaven & Hell, designed above and beyond, sets another architectural exclamation mark. A free-floating platform made of steel and glass, connected by a filigree walkway, opens up new dimensions of relaxation on two levels. Whether in the reclining whirlpool with panoramic views, in the cold spray or in the "hellishly" hot sauna - wellness is literally turned on its head here.
Wellness with depth - the Alpenreych Spa
The 7,000-square-metre Alpenreych Spa showcases what makes the Hubertus so special: a perfect harmony of space, tranquillity and nature. Five outdoor pools - from the saltwater floating pool to the pleasantly warm whirlpool - are set in a spacious garden at the foot of the mountains. The panoramic alpine sauna opens up the view over the valley, while the fire crackles in the log cabin sauna under the open sky. In the Dolomite cave steam bath, warm steam envelops the body while the scent of alpine herbs clears the mind.
The Treaments combine alpine herbs, mountain spring water and precision craftsmanship to create rituals that touch both body and soul.
Winter between elegance and adventure
With the first snowfall, the Hubertus becomes the starting point for unforgettable winter days. Directly in front of the hotel is Kronplatz, South Tyrol's largest and multi-award-winning 5-star ski area, with 192 kilometers of slopes, 32 lifts and excellent infrastructure. Whether on wide panoramic slopes, the legendary "Black Five" or night skiing under floodlights - both beginners and pros will find their line in the snow here. Guests enjoy the hotel's own shuttle service, heated ski depots and exclusive conditions with ski schools and rental partners.
Those looking for something out of the ordinary can experience winter from a bird's eye view on the "Dolomagic" helicopter ski tour. The day begins with a flight over the Dolomite peaks, takes you to the most beautiful slopes and includes an aperitif above the clouds and a gourmet lunch in a top restaurant on the slopes.
Away from the slopes, on the other hand, quiet winter pleasures unfold: snowshoe hikes in the Fanes region, cross-country skiing on the more than 1,000 kilometers of trails of the Dolomiti Nordic
Ski network or romantic horse-drawn sleigh rides through snow-covered forests. If you like, discover the Dolomites from a bird's eye view on a tandem paragliding flight from Kronplatz.
Pleasure and security
The Hubertus restaurant combines Alpine down-to-earthness with Mediterranean lightness. The winter mountain world becomes part of the room through large glass fronts - quiet, present, inspiring. The cuisine reinterprets South Tyrol: clear in the flavors, precise in the composition, uncompromising in the quality of the ingredients. Each dish is an expression of a fine balance - between tradition and the present, simplicity and finesse.
The rooms and suites - from the Dolomites Sauna Suite with private sauna to the Belvedere Panorama Room - also bear the signature of the landscape. Light wood, soft fabrics and expansive views create rooms of tranquillity. Everything breathes warmth, naturalness and the feeling of having arrived.
A refuge for all the senses
The Hotel Hubertus is more than just a refuge in the mountains - it is a tribute to the balance between nature and people, peace and adventure, heaven and earth. A place where winter not only begins, but unfolds: light, clear and boundlessly beautiful.
