Where on earth is Eggen?
Even a local might ask this question, as our tiny village is, quite simply, in an ingenious location: only a quarter of an hour from Bozen, nestling between sunny meadows and Woods at the foot of the fantastic Latemar and well away from the hurly-burly of everyday life.

When we first started to plan our hotel, we - as passionate mountain bikers - were convinced that we had found just the right base for all occasions here in Eggen, and here's why: on a long day, you can circumnavigate the Schlern, on a short day, there's the Niger Pass circuit to the Rotwand, on a hot day visitors can head into the shady Karer forest and under the Latemar peaks, on a cold day they can ride out via the Eggen Valley on its sunny side to Obergummer, and on wet days, down to the Bozen basin, plus much, much more… Every day is an adventure!

Never without a climb ...
At the start of the week we still show mercy with our choice of route, but then we slowly notch up the difficulty to either the Latemar or Eggen valley circuit and, so that everyone can get just what they’re looking for, we bike in two groups.

Refreshment breaks!
What a pleasure! Eat well in one of the many huts and alpine inns and let the mountain scenery take effect. The two groups’ different routes come together again here, giving the opportunity for a bit of “bike chat”! Those who feel they are not being challenged can then switch to the “extreme” group, and those who want to finish up on a more leisurely note can join the “gourmet riders”.

The “little” hotel: “little“, because it is actually a large villa and has plenty of space and light for our guests. We have arranged everything just as one would for friends sharing the same interests, and the feedback from our regular guests is very positive.

Have breakfast in the light dining room with generous buffet area, enjoy a “Marende”, a typical Tyrolean snack, in the afternoon on the terrace without any specific dress code, and then pay a visit to the wellness area, bathed in light, before enjoying the fine evening atmosphere surrounding the culinary pleasures from the kitchen and wine cellar.
