Time to slow down

-

Mountain farm. Design hotel. Slow food paradise. South Tyrol’s Mea Via is all of that and more. Nestled in the heart of the Dolomites at 1,400 metres, it’s perfect to unwind in. The lovely Pitschiele­r family runs the hotel and merges modern architectu­re with traditions that are centuries old – and in tune with nature.

If you’re looking for pure relaxation, then the slow farm hotel Mea Via at Seiser Alm is your ideal pick. Here, nature sets the pace. The hotel is spacious and flooded with light and gives stunning views of the surroundin­g mountains.

The architectu­re is defined by natural materials. Luxurious facilities, such as rainforest showers, promote wellbeing. In the spa area, guests can look forward to the wonderfull­y fragrant mountain hay as well as a mountain panorama sauna, organic mountain herbal sauna and a mountain spring steam bath.

Restaurant ‘Bulla’ pampers its guests with sustainabl­y sourced and produced delights. Alpine culinary art meets slow food philosophy. “Right next to the Mea Via, we run a traditiona­l farm,” host Jasmin Pitschiele­r adds. “Just like the South Tyrolean mountain farmers have done for generation­s. With a lot of dedication, passion and respect for nature.”

The Pitschiele­r family is kind and open-minded. Guests are always welcome to take a peek into the inner workings of the place and get to know the farm and animals up-close.
