Enjoyment & Encounter

A Guest Among Friends

Food keeps body and soul together – this is especially true in the Odles Slow Dolomites. In our alpine huts and inns, you are not just a customer, but a guest in the truest sense of the word. Here, old recipes merge with new ideas and a deep connection to the region. When you take a seat, you feel the authentic atmosphere: laughter, enjoyment, and storytelling. 

The ingredients often come directly from the field next door, and the time we take for preparation can be tasted in every single bite.

Where Enjoyment Meets Vastness

Whether you stop by the parlor of an alpine hut after a hike or end the evening in a restaurant in the valley: you encounter the same attitude everywhere. It is the pride in one's own and the joy of sharing.

Festivals Throughout the Year

In Lüsen and Villnöss, we celebrate the rhythm of nature. Our festivals are not staged events but living customs to which we cordially invite you:

 

  • Villnösser Mountain Spring: When the meadows awaken, fresh herbs and wild vegetables reach the plate. A time of renewal and light cuisine.
  • South Tyrolean Speck Festival: In Villnöss, bacon-making is celebrated as an art. A festival that combines tradition, music, and the savory taste of home.
  • Lamb Weeks: In October, we honor the Villnöss Spectacled Sheep with special dishes and guided hikes. A culinary thank you to our oldest sheep breed.
  • Farmers' Festival in Teis & Lüsen: When the harvest is in, we celebrate the end of the farming year with craftsmanship, music, and autumnal specialties.

Hands in the Dough, Feet in the Grass

With us, you don't just remain an observer. Our Slow Food Travel experiences invite you to lend a hand and become part of the cycle. Side by side with our producers, you bake bread in the wood-fired oven, watch over the cheesemaker's shoulder, or learn how to identify and process herbs. In this way, a meal becomes a lasting experience. Book your experience module and meet the people who care for our landscape.
