Great hotel for hiking the schlern-- the trail To the top begins right next to the hotel, at a higher elevation than Fie allo Sciliar;also the hotel provided a free shuttle to and from Bolzano (after I called ahead, they speak enough English) I went just after the high season (I think-- mid September) and the rate was very good, in particular, the add on to include breakfast and dinner was ridiculously well priced (dinner was 4 courses, plus cheese). The room was big and clean. The one caveat is that, without a car, it is pretty remote to anything else (there is one restaurant a little bit up the trail, but it is well above the nearest small town)
