Arrival | At Its Essence

No road leads here.

Only by cable car do you reach, at 1,500 meters, a resort of stillness.

Above Lana , the vigilius mountain resort is nestled into the alpine landscape. A boutique hotel with views of the Dolomites, shaped by calm, clarity, and restraint.

Architecture, sustainability, and cuisine are closely intertwined here. Everything is reduced to the essentials and follows the rhythm of the place itself. In this way, space is created for a conscious arrival and for a stay defined by simplicity and quality.

Eco, not ego I The principle of the vigilius

Alongside care and respect, a mountain hotel in South Tyrol is shaped by a clear concept — one that offers orientation and lends substance to every decision.
Guided by the principle “Eco, not ego,” owners Ulrich Ladurner and architect Matteo Thun conceived and realized the vigilius mountain resort.

Nature is not a backdrop here, but the point of departure. Architecture, design, and atmosphere consciously allow exterior and interior to flow into one another. On the Vigiljoch, this creates a place that preserves a sense of origin while offering contemporary comfort — consistently sustainable in its thinking, internationally recognized through EarthCheck certification and awarded with the Michelin Key.

Rooms & Suites

With its 41 rooms and suites, the vigilius mountain resort deliberately creates space for calm, clarity, and personal attention. Timeless design meets the presence of the surrounding nature. Generous glass fronts open the view onto the mountain landscape of South Tyrol, creating an atmosphere of focus and retreat. Depending on their orientation, the rooms are filled with the soft light of the morning or the warmth of the evening. The suites offer additional freedom and are conceived as places of withdrawal, gently embedded in the alpine surroundings.

Aquiléia Spa I For body and mind

Water is the source of all life — and at the Aquiléia Spa the starting point for regeneration and renewed energy. Across 1,200 m², an exclusive wellness area unfolds, bringing body and mind into balance. Pool, whirlpool, sauna, steam bath, and a modern fitness room offer space for both relaxation and movement.

The experience is complemented by yoga and Pilates sessions, guided forest bathing, and walks in the surrounding nature. Restorative massages and nurturing beauty treatments for face and body are created in exclusive partnership with Team Dr. Joseph.

Here, recovery emerges from the interplay of stillness, movement, and the alpine landscape.
