When every dish becomes an experience

Natural culinary pleasures at our hotel in Merano and Environs

“Alpine freshness and Mediterranean delights - that's how it tastes at the Hotel Waldhof. Our ingredients? Some spoonsful of passion, a pinch of creativity and a lot of love - which makes every dish a culinary treasure.“

Rich in experiences – that's how we want your holiday in Parcines to be,    
Using the freshest seasonal ingredients from the region, our kitchen crew conjures up very special dishes with an unmistakable Waldhof taste. Traditional dishes that surprise the palate with creative culinary notes.

A rendezvous between South Tyrolean tradition and Italian cuisine. 
Alpine mountain aromas blend with a delicate touch of Dolce Vita. Mediterranean herbs refine exquisite products from South Tyrol's farms, meadows and forests. A glass of Goldmuskateller puts the exquisite taste of Antipasti in the spotlight. Lucullan scents rise to the nose, seduce the palate, trigger feelings of happiness.

It is love at first bite.

Breakfast at the 4**** Hotel Waldhof Vitalpina in Rablà/Parcines

“Start every morning with a good thought..." 

 (Zit. Carl Hilty)

… and a good breakfast – that's what we take care of in the Waldhof kitchen!

While you‘re still snuggling wrapped in your fluffy blankets in the early morning hours, we are already busy in the kitchen. We slice freshly baked farmer's bread, serve South Tyrolean cold cuts and cheeses, fill bowls with fresh mountain yogurt, homemade jams and creamy spreads, bake our buckwheat and marble cake, turn our sweetest oranges into freshly squeezed juice, grind our coffee beans to serve you espresso, macchiato, cappuccino ... And then we take out our organic eggs to turn them into delicious egg specialities for your breakfast - just the way you like it.

The table is set - in the restaurant and on the terrace.
The morning mail is on the table.
There you are, take a seat.

It’s time for breakfast
… and for a wonderful day too.

Early risers who like hiking do not have to start      the day on an empty stomach: book in advance and we‘ll prepare a lunch box for      you - just the way you like it - so that you can start the day well      strengthened.

“A few slices of bacon in the Vinschgerle, a cool beer.
Your legs dangling in the sun.
A sip of cappuccino. A slice of apricot cake.
And that unmistakable Waldhof flair."
