Ganis Resort
Tyrolean mountain resort with a family-run warmth and a genuine active-holiday ethos. Classic wooden alpine interiors getting a contemporary upgrade. Not flashy — more the place serious hikers, skiers, and foodies return to annually.
Book a Rosengarten-facing room or balcony room — the garden-side rooms are quieter and the views are genuinely worth it
Why It Matters
The Ganis family (four Pichler brothers plus parents) are visibly present and personally involved in running the hotel, the mountain huts, and the guided activities. The 'Ganis Board Plus' concept lets guests eat across three distinct Ganis-owned establishments — the hotel restaurant, the Gardoné mountain riviera at 1,700m, and the Ganischgeralm beer garden — all on a single included package. It's a genuinely smart dining concept. The hotel is also a founding member of Petersberg Golf Club and runs free daily ski and activity shuttles.
This is technically Italy, but nobody told the mountains. At 1,300 metres in the Eggental Valley, with German street signs, Tyrolean architecture and the Rosengarten massif looming over the terrace, Ganis Resort sits in that fascinatingly un-Italian corner of South Tyrol near Bolzano. Run by the Pichler family for decades, the resort has been operating as Ganischgerhof and is currently completing a full top-to-bottom redesign set to reopen July 25, 2026 as the new Ganis Resort. The rebuilt property will offer 52 rooms (16 brand-new), an indoor/outdoor infinity pool pointed straight at the Catinaccio massif, a fresh adults-only sauna house, and the same family-run character that kept guests coming back year after year.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Junior Suite Landhaus
New suite category for 2026. The Eggental views and light wooden furniture make these particularly appealing. Combines suite-level space with the new contemporary alpine design language of the redesigned resort.
45 sqmStandard Latemar
In the newer wing of the property, these are among the quietest rooms in the house with a pleasant garden outlook. At 35m² they're notably more spacious than the Reggelberg, and the parquet floor gives them a cleaner, more contemporary feel. Lift access.
Double · 35 sqmStandard Reggelberg
The entry-level room and the most characterful. On the first floor of the original main house — stairs only, no lift access — all rooms have a balcony with either a garden view or direct sightlines to the Rosengarten UNESCO massif. Cosy and compact at 28m². Alpine carpet, shower, safe, minibar on request, flat-screen/satellite TV, SuitePad, WiFi. Dogs are not permitted in this room category.
Double · 28 sqmSuperior Landhaus
Brand-new room category added as part of the 2026 renovation. 45m² of modern, welcoming space combining contemporary and traditional design — bright wood, appealing colour compositions, and cosy seating areas. Part of the new 16-room addition with frameless glass facades and Rosengarten views.
45 sqmSuperior Schlern
On the second floor of the original main house, the Schlern rooms are notably generous at around 45m² with a proper separate living area. Lots of alpine wood panelling. Balcony with views toward the Rosengarten Dolomite massif. Stairs to access — lift does not reach this floor.
Double · 45 sqmTurmsuite
The family suite. Two separate bedrooms in the newer wing of the hotel — parents in one, kids in the other. At 60m² it's the most spacious room category. Described as the room 'for families who need peace and quiet for everyone.' Lift accessible.
