Geographical location and arrival

The Zanser Alm is located at an altitude of 1,680 meters at the head of the Villnöss Valley in the Eisack Valley, South Tyrol (address: Alm 1, 39040 Villnöss). It can be easily reached by car or bus from the large Zans parking lot near St. Magdalena. Barrier-free walks and numerous hiking trails, such as the Zans nature adventure trail, start from here.

Excursion destinations and outdoor activities

The Berggasthof is the ideal starting point for:

  • Family-friendly hikes (e.g. to the game reserve, Zans nature adventure trail)
  • Hikes and mountain tours to the Geisler peaks, the Zendleser Kofel or the Kreuzjoch
  • Via ferratas (such as the Gunther Messner climb)
  • Mountain bike tours
  • In winter: Tobogganing on groomed runs, cross-country skiing (Zans circular trail, 2 km), snowshoe hikes and ski tours

Gastronomic offer and prices

The Zanser Alm spoils you with traditional South Tyrolean cuisine: there are hearty snacks, soups, homemade dumplings, Tyrolean Tris (cheese and spinach dumplings, Schlutzkrapfen) and specialties such as apple strudel, Kaiserschmarrn and Buchteln. Children's dishes and vegetarian options round off the menu. Prices are at the usual local level: main courses usually range from 12 to 17 euros, desserts from 3 euros. You can dine in the cozy parlor (up to 50 people) or on the panoramic terrace.

Conclusion

The Zanser Alm offers enjoyment, comfort and a variety of experiences in the heart of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site - perfect for those seeking relaxation and active vacationers. More information and current tips can be found directly on the Zanser Alm website. If you have any questions about tours or reservations, I will be happy to help you.
