LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL BY THE LAKE

PARCHOTEL KALTERN

The Parc Hotel am See lies on Lago di Caldaro, South Tyrol’s biggest Alpine natural lake. It is also the region’s warmest to swim in, coming in at 28 degrees Celsius in the summer thanks to the moderate Mediterranean climate. The expanse around the lake is 7.5 km.

The most gorgeous flowers of the region make up the hotel’s paradisiacal garden precinct, their fragrances and colours beguiling the senses. Small wonder that the Parc Hotel am See, a four-star establishment, chose this setting to settle in allowing its guests to unwind, relax and revive themselves in the most ideal manner. The view of the water alone has a calming effect, while the mountains and nature all around have a stimulating effect.

“Mediterranean meets imposing mountain backdrop,” is what the website says. The same is true for what is served on the plates, a harmonious fusion of rustic farmhouse cooking and light Mediterranean culinary delights. Accompanied by wines from the region. If anything, grapes are king in this climate.

And speaking of the Mediterranean, the smells of the sea are ever-present in the 4000 m2 expansive hotel park. It’s a veritable oasis boasting an infinity pool, sun terrace alongside the Koi pond and a view across the lake. The hotel rooms also all look on to the lake which invites guest to engage in activities like pedal boats and stand-up paddling in the summer, or just dipping their feet into the water. All this is made possible at a private beach for the guests. And should the skies open with some heavy summer rainfall, there is always the wellness and spa area on site, where Ayurveda treatments, massages, saunas, gym equipment & Co. await the guest, not to mention the indoor pool whose temperature is just as warm as that of the lake on your doorstep.
