Holiday retreats
Imagine yourself in a forest chalet
Rooms, suites and apartments that each feel like a private little forest chalet: warm wood, clean lines, quality fabrics and a cosy chalet nook at the heart of it all. Everything is deliberately minimalist, modern and grounded. Enhanced by a natural colour palette that echoes the larch forest outside, plenty of light and a wonderful sense of freedom. Not to mention a generous balcony off each room.
Spacious, flexibly combinable and ideal for quality time together – including a fully equipped kitchen, plenty of space and privacy, and views of the Dolomites.
Wellness in Meransen feels different. Clear mountain air, sweeping views and endless peace and quiet. At the AUI, body and mind rediscover their natural rhythm – between the pool, sauna and surrounding nature. Less doing, more being.
At the AUI, dining doesn’t follow a set routine - let your appetite lead the way. Savour culinary experiences embodying the spirit of the region: either served to you, prepared by you or out and about. Complete freedom.
Breakfast
Morning ritual
Breakfast at the AUI is the perfect time to relish the moment and plan your day. Enjoy regional delights in a relaxed buffet setting. Or if you prefer your own company in the morning, start the day your way.
At the AUI, dining is an experience connecting people, flavours and the essence of the region. It is a culinary ritual that you can enjoy with your loved ones, on your own or in good company— however you like.
