Gasthof Klaus

Gasthof Klaus is a family-run mountain inn above Bolzano, set in the quiet hamlet of Kohlern for a simple, nature-first stay with big views.

Peaceful setting: Perched around 1,100 meters above the valley, Gasthof Klaus feels removed from city noise, with forest and meadows right outside. It’s the kind of place that suits hikers and travelers who want to slow down.

Rooms and comfort: The property offers 14 well-kept, cozy rooms, described as straightforward and welcoming rather than flashy. Room types include single, double, and triple rooms, each with a private bathroom.

Food on-site: Guests can expect a substantial breakfast buffet built around regional products. There’s also an on-site restaurant serving South Tyrolean and Mediterranean dishes, plus afternoon snacks and house-made cakes that can be enjoyed in the garden.

Views and outdoor time: A standout feature is the panoramic outlook over Bolzano and the surrounding mountains, with a roughly 36-meter viewing tower mentioned as a highlight. Trails start directly from the house, making it easy to step into the landscape without planning logistics.

Getting around from here: Despite the alpine feel, Bolzano is reachable with a short cable-car ride, which helps balance nature days with city exploring. It’s also a handy base for scenic walks around Kohlern.

No pool: Travelers expecting spa-style facilities should note that Gasthof Klaus does not have a pool.

Mountain access trade-off: Being above Bolzano means the approach can feel less convenient than staying in town, especially if you prefer to walk everywhere. Planning around the cable car or driving may be necessary.

Simple, traditional style: This is a classic gasthof experience, so those seeking modern “full-service hotel” extras may find the offering intentionally minimal.
