Why we serve it unbottled (and why you’ll taste the difference)

Serving Marinzen spring water unbottled keeps things simple: fewer materials, fewer deliveries, and more of what matters—clean, refreshing water. In general, unbottled service helps cut plastic and glass waste and avoids the emissions tied to long-distance transport. The result is a low-impact, high-pleasure staple that pairs naturally with local cuisine.

A table rooted in South Tyrol

Our culinary philosophy highlights the region’s bounty. We prioritize fresh, seasonal ingredients and choose regional products first—such as farmhouse butter, orchard apple juice, and organic South Tyrolean milk. In the morning, menu selections help the kitchen prepare just what’s needed, reducing food waste without compromising choice.

What that means for you:

• Thoughtfully prepared courses that spotlight local flavors
• A dining rhythm that’s mindful of resources
• Complimentary Marinzen spring water that anchors the experience

If you prefer a seamless dining plan, selected offers include half board (breakfast and dinner), making it easy to enjoy local cuisine alongside pure spring water every day.

Water culture beyond the table: wellness and relaxation

Hydration is part of relaxation, too. In our wellness area, you’ll find fresh spring water and herbal teas ready whenever you need a reset.

Highlights of the wellness area:

• 15-metre heated outdoor pool (warm and inviting at 33°C in winter; wonderfully refreshing in summer)
• Outdoor whirlpool in the garden at approximately 36°C
• Finnish panoramic sauna (about 80–90°C, 10–15% humidity)
• Bio sauna in a cozy garden hut (around 60°C, 20% humidity)

Whether you’re warming up after snowshoeing or cooling down after a hike, pure spring water is never far from reach.
