nature-inspired spa

On the heights of Merano, in South Tyrol, stands Castel Fragsburg, an exceptional hotel from the 17th century majestically perched above the town. Distinguished not only by its style, but also by its unique philosophy and art de vivre, it is a true refuge surrounded by glorious, unspoilt nature. From its elevated terraces, enjoy spectacular views over the Adige Valley; or bask in the heart of its five-hectare fairy-tale garden and reconnect with the beauty of the world through a celebration of the senses. Inside its twenty suites, discover elegant interiors that combine alpine comfort and Mediterranean sensuality for optimal relaxation. This spirit is echoed in the Alchemistic Healing Spa, the first of its kind, which offers marvellous beauty treatments, as well as in the jacuzzi and by the heated outdoor pool where unforgettable moments under the sun are sure to be had. In the gourmet restaurant, the South Tyrolean chef highlights healthy regional products and invites you to savour exquisite aromas that also serve as wonderful elixirs of life.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at Castel Fragsburg

The medieval castle nearby

Follow in the footsteps of former local rulers on an enjoyable walk. Castel Fragsburg served as a hunting lodge for the lords of the neighboring castle on top of the great cliff, which we now affectionately call Castel Fragsburg Paternum. Built in the 14th century, the two properties were bought and sold several times over the following years. Upon acquiring them, the Ortner family brought the two buildings back together, hand in hand, as they were originally. Nowadays the castle is only open for hotel guests to visit and it is the ideal event location for fairytale weddings, celebrations, meetings and incentives.

An excursion to Fragsburg Waterfall

Undoubtedly impressive, the highest waterfall in South Tyrol emerges from a wild and romantic landscape to plunge from a height of 135 meters. Its primitive power and natural beauty make it a must-see in the region. Reach it on a picturesque 20-minute walk from Castel Fragsburg that takes you through vineyards and apple orchards. An invigorating adventure, guaranteed to please adults and children alike.

A visit to Merano

Just 15 minutes by car from Castel Fragsburg, the pretty town of Merano combines Alpine charm with a Mediterranean atmosphere. This renowned spa town is distinguished by its medieval churches and Art Nouveau buildings, which you can admire as you wander alongside the Passer river. Stroll through the vibrant, picturesque streets of the historic town center, then take the path that leads up to Trauttmansdorff Castle, where you can fully take in the spectacular landscape.
