Located in a densely wooded area 1,800m above sea-level on the southern slope of the Plose mountain in the South Tyrolean Alps, Forestis is a nature-inspired retreat that offers emotional rejuvenation through physical and mental mindfulness.

Boasting breathtaking views, the resort sits directly opposite the impressive massifs of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site and harnesses extraordinarily pure spring water, fresh mountain air, and a mild climate to improve the health and wellbeing of all who visit.

Immerse yourself in the wellness traditions of a spa based on the healing wisdom of the Celts; nourish yourself on cuisine inspired by the fruits of the surrounding forest; and rest easy in one of a selection of rooms or suites that offer a combination of luxurious comfort, nature-inspired decor and stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

The Spa

To complement the abundant natural elements of pure spring water, fresh mountain air, many hours of sunshine and a mild climate, Forestis Spa adds the theme of trees, namely mountain pine, spruce, larch and stone pine. Facilities include an indoor and outdoor pool made from Dolomite stone and filled with water from the Plose mountain, as well as saunas that release the essential oils of their wood to create a healing effect.

To aid the regeneration provided by healthy sleep, Silence Rooms offer absolute peace, while the Wyda Room – furnished with local materials – hosts millennia-old energy exercises including Wyda, the yoga of the Celts.

A private spa, equipped with a steam bath, a bathtub with views of the Dolomites, two massage beds and a daybed, allows couples to experience a holistic treatment ceremony in luxurious privacy. A Fitness Room allows space for training and guests are also encouraged to venture out into nature along beautiful jogging and cycling routes.

Forestis offers bespoke signature treatments based on the healing wood of four trees – mountain pine, spruce, larch and Swiss stone pine – which possess active ingredients, frequencies and material substances that allow the human body to regenerate deeply and effectively.

Cleansing facials and body scrubs are offered alongside healing wood and stone touch-treatments that aim to restore balance to the body. Further energetic realignment is provided by the Body Meridian and Energy Flow experiences. A range of mani-pedi, eye and nail services can also be selected.

To Eat

As you might expect from a property with such a strong emphasis on nature, executive chef Rolan Lamprecht blends traditional methods with creative modern flair using ingredients sourced from local farmers. Following the principles of variety, naturalness and authenticity, the restaurant is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows and is step-shaped to provide privacy at every table.

The Bar and lounge offer further cosy nooks in which to relax, with indoor and outdoor fireplaces encouraging evening get-togethers to sample drinks inspired by the forest that incorporate herbs, nuts and berries, as well as shrubs, barks and fir needles.


Location

Palmschoß, 39042 Bressanone BZ, Italy

The closest international airport is Innsbruck, a two-hour drive away. On request, the hotel will happily send an eco-friendly Tesla X (for up to five guests) or a minibus (with eight seats) to collect you. Prices vary depending on your pick-up point, from €200 for a one-way trip for two from Innsbruck to €450 from Milan.

Trains from Munich, Milan, Venice, Innsbruck and Verona all arrive direct at the Bressanone/Brixen station in Tyrol’s oldest city, which is a handy 30-minute drive from the hotel. The ride can be as long as three-and-a-half hours, depending on your starting point, but quaint chalet-lined villages, emerald valleys and slopes furry with pines make for diverting scenery. Transfers from the hotel are €55 one-way, for two guests.
