We all need special places.
Places that are close to our hearts and touch us with their rich culture and unique natural qualities. Bad Ratzes, our sustainable bio-hotel at the foot of the Seiser Alm, is one such place. To ensure that future generations can also enjoy this treasure, it is essential for us to treat natural resources with respect, as only in this way can we ensure that Bad Ratzes remains a place that will take root and continue – not just today, but also tomorrow and beyond.

Green is Good

Every time you choose not to have your room cleaned you will receive a €5.00 voucher for a drink at the hotel bar. So you not only save money, you also make a valuable contribution to protecting the environment by saving such resources as water and energy. A small step for you; a great one in preserving what is so dear to us all: bad ratzes.

Old treasures, new life

Disused freight containers, once voyagers on the high seas, have now been given a new life.
Two containers, respectively 20 and 10 feet in size, were carefully converted into peaceful sauna oases that blend harmoniously into their surroundings. Natural materials such as larch wood and an innovative insulation material made from recycled newspaper were used to combine comfort and sustainability. Large windows that offer breathtaking views of the Schlern massif and the nearby forest allow nature to flow into the room.

Old spirit, invigorated anew

When renovating our rooms we were motivated by the philosophy of reuse and respect for the past. Instead of creating everything anew, the old varnish was carefully removed from the furniture, thus restoring the natural beauty and feel of the wood. Some rooms are now graced with the unique artworks of Verena Wopfner, a talented artist from Stilfs in the Vinschgau Valley: her felt creations, made from the wool of local sheep, combine traditional craftsmanship with timeless design. Our choice not only pays tribute to our local heritage, but also recognises felt’s many creative possibilities.

A 300-year-old history

Source of life

Through our sustainable bio-hotel flows a genuine treasure: water.
Pure and clear, our water flows from a nearby alpine spring, unspoilt by industrial or agricultural influences. This “light” water is not only precious: it is also a symbol of purity and vitality. Regular tests in a specialist laboratory confirm its microbiological purity. A symbolic contribution on each bottle serves as a reminder to respect and consciously appreciate this treasure – a tribute to the scarcity of this precious element and an acknowledgment of the responsibility of everyone who uses it.

Water: a precious resource

Closeness to nature

Bad Ratzes extends over two hectares of land, including a wide meadow bordered by a murmuring stream. Surrounded by a forest full of mosses and lichens, with the majestic Schlern massif above, this meadow provides a habitat for a great variety of wildlife, with deer, foxes, badgers, but above all butterflies, bees and other insects present there.

Every spring sees bee colonies established on the meadow. From May to July, the meadow shimmers in all its glory, a sea of colourful flowers and numerous plant species. The meadow plants are simply cut until flowering is finished: the cutting patterns are varied each year and a few loungers are placed in the middle, allowing guests to experience nature and the lively insect activity in close-up.
