Das Gerstl Alpine Retreat Where the harmony of silence embraces every moment
There is a place, nestled among the sunlit peaks of the Upper Vinschgau Valley, where the air carries the scent of freedom and every detail is crafted to celebrate the beauty of simplicity.
At Das Gerstl Alpine Retreat, nature steps in gently—filling the spaces, illuminating the interiors, and becoming an integral part of your daily experience.
Here, elegance is never ostentatious—it’s the perfect balance of alpine warmth, refined design, and that precious feeling of finally being exactly where you belong.
Expansive windows open up to endless views that soothe the soul, while the rarefied atmosphere invites you to let go of every thought, from the very first breath.
An exclusive retreat for those in search of silence, authenticity, and a new vision of luxury: intimate, sincere, and profoundly human.
And it is from this vision that the R30 philosophy was born—a way of embracing hospitality that honours the land and enhances its very essence.
It’s not just a sustainable approach, but a true promise: everything you experience, taste, and feel comes from here, within a 30-kilometre radius.

The culinary essence of Das Gerstl Alpine Retreat
At Das Gerstl Alpine Retreat, cuisine is a profound encounter with the soul of South Tyrol. Every dish is born from ingredients sourced within 30 kilometres, in harmony with the R30 philosophy—a celebration of the land and its unspoiled purity. This is not gastronomy that imitates, but one that tells a story, stirs emotion, and brings truth to every flavour.
The day begins with aromas that warm the heart: freshly baked bread, alpine cheeses, homemade pastries, and the gentle light of morning illuminating every detail.
In the afternoon, sweetness becomes a slow ritual—fragrant cakes and delicate temptations to savour as the mountains embrace you in their calm presence.
As evening falls and the sky turns to gold, the kitchen transforms into a gourmet journey—creative yet rooted, elegant yet authentic. Surprising pairings, refined menus, and local products turned into edible emotions.
Every glass, every plate, every gesture is designed to leave you with a memory that lingers.
For those in search of the ultimate privilege, the Gerstl’s Chef’s Table opens the doors to the heart of the kitchen: an intimate setting, a dedicated menu, and the enchantment of watching the chef craft dishes before your very eyes—creations found nowhere else.
Here, cuisine is not just something you taste—it’s something you feel. Something you remember. Something you carry home in your soul.
