Schlosswirt Forst is a charming 16th-century residence housing a traditional restaurant, some rooms, and most notably, the Luisl Stube: a small gem set among beautiful antique woods and traditional chandeliers of a historic stube. With more candles than tables (only 4), it offers a truly intimate and timelessly romantic atmosphere. The culinary approach is contemporary, thanks to chef Luis Haller, who explores local products while also incorporating some exotic or seafood ingredients. He offers two tasting menus – one vegetarian and the other with animal proteins – that can be mixed as if they

Breathtaking 180° views of the Val Venosta provide the theatrical setting for Gerhard Wieser’s culinary talents at this restaurant.

Occupying a former post-house, this restaurant boasts dining rooms decorated in Tyrolean style, as well as a large veranda-style room.
