Cyprianerhof Dolomit Resort is a luxurious alpine lodge in the Tires Valley, set beneath the rosy crags of the Catinaccio/Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. A family-run establishment since 1988, the resort has grown into one of Italy’s most sustainable hotels, earning both the South Tyrol Sustainability Label at its highest level and official ClimateHotel® certification.
At Cyprianerhof, sustainability begins with its energy supply. The resort is powered by a CO₂-neutral wood-chip heating plant that provides all heat and hot water, using wood waste sourced from regional forestry operations. Solar panels on the roof generate a significant portion of electricity, while the remainder is covered by 100% renewable energy providers. Thanks to this system, the resort operates at or near climate neutrality and participates actively in the Climate Neutral Alliance 2025.
The lodge combines traditional South Tyrolean style with modern ecological building methods. Thick masonry and natural insulation maintain a comfortable indoor climate, while triple-pane windows maximize energy efficiency. Furnishings are crafted from sustainably harvested spruce and larch wood from the surrounding mountains, creating interiors that feel both authentic and environmentally responsible.
Wellness at Cyprianerhof is deeply tied to the surrounding landscape. The Mountain Spa includes an indoor-outdoor pool and open-air sauna, both overlooking the Dolomites and heated entirely with green energy. The pool uses a salt electrolysis system rather than chlorine, making the water healthier and more eco-friendly. Spa treatments, from herbal infusions to cosmetics, are 100% organic, with many of the herbs grown in the hotel’s own garden. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in a wellness experience where every element is aligned with nature.
Dining at Cyprianerhof is an extension of its sustainability ethos. The kitchen sources three-quarters of its ingredients locally, including pasture-raised eggs, Alpine dairy products, and seasonal vegetables from nearby farms. Game meats are supplied from sustainable hunts in the region, and fresh bread is baked daily in-house. The wine list highlights organic South Tyrolean wines, giving guests a true taste of the region’s terroir. This focus on organic, local produce makes Cyprianerhof a reference point for sustainable gastronomy in the Dolomites.
As a proud member of Vitalpina Hotels, Cyprianerhof encourages guests to explore the Dolomites responsibly. The resort organizes daily guided hikes, snowshoe walks, and alpine fitness activities designed to connect visitors with the natural landscape. E-bikes are available to minimize travel impact, and a complimentary shuttle service brings guests to nearby trailheads, reducing the need for individual car journeys. The result is an active holiday that is both enriching and environmentally conscious.
Cyprianerhof’s commitment to the environment extends into the smallest details of its operations. Biodegradable cleaning products are used throughout the property, a state-of-the-art water purification system ensures sustainable water use, and toiletries are provided in refillable dispensers to eliminate unnecessary plastic waste. These thoughtful touches reinforce the hotel’s philosophy that true luxury must also be responsible.
By seamlessly combining five-star hospitality with eco-conscious practices, Cyprianerhof Dolomit Resort demonstrates that it is possible to indulge in luxury while minimizing environmental impact. Here, guests can enjoy the fresh alpine air, breathtaking mountain views, organic cuisine, and a restorative spa — all with the assurance that their stay contributes to a more sustainable future.
