It feels like a warm embrace when autumn lovingly welcomes us. As the leaves glide off the trees, it is also easier to let go. The Eco-Aparthotel Olm in South Tyrol’s Ahrntal Valley is a great place to unwind. The wellness offer is harmonious and characterised by freedom, individuality and naturalness.
In the circle of nature
At first glance, we know that things are going well here, that we can centre ourselves here, because not only the first letter, but also the architecture of the building is circular. And what symbol could be more fitting for holistic well-being than a circle? Exactly! The architectural masterpiece, which follows the principles of Slow Down Hospitality, is located in the middle of nature, nestled in a special, unspoilt, somewhat rugged and very authentic part of South Tyrol.
Your own pace
The wellness amenities here are also a little more special than elsewhere. The central eco-spa area includes a heated indoor and outdoor pool, whose heat is produced by the Olm Nature Escape itself: so there’s no need to cleanse your conscience first. If you want to refresh yourself, head straight from the outdoor pool to the natural bathing pond. A Kneipp path stimulates the senses even further with the elixir of life. We take another big sip of the refreshing mountain water before heading into the sauna.
Just as you wish
The only question here is which one exactly? Most apartments have their own Finnish sauna. A unique feature. So you can sweat in peace and quiet here in complete privacy before all your worries evaporate under the rain shower in your own four holiday walls. Or you can opt for the outdoor sauna with panoramic views of the mountains, the wild garden and the water. You might then head to the relaxation area for a cup of tea before treating yourself to a massage.
Your Choice
Or not. There is no compulsion here. You are free to decide how you spend the day. When you are where and when you eat where. If you need a little more space to find yourself, you could take a look at the packages that offer culinary, sporting or meditative suggestions for a few wonderful autumn days in the Ahrntal.
