Plan your visit to the restaurant Terra

Sarcodon imbricatus (shingled hedgehog), yarrow, Iceland moss, wood sorrel…there are so many herbs and mushrooms growing around our house. My passion is cooking for our guests with produce you can't find in shops. I pick up to 40 different wild herbs. For me, they are some of the most exciting ingredients in cooking. The big challenge is putting them together in dishes appropriate for haute cuisine level. Before offering a new menu, I perform tests for months.

Nature is my herb garden

Almost suspended between the sky and the mountains, Terra restaurant offers inventive cuisine that feels profoundly connected to these exceptional natural surroundings. The chef, passionate about wild herbs, creates elegant, fragrant dishes that reveal the subtleties of seasonal Alpine ingredients.

At Terra, the air feels pure, filled with the fragrances of the woodland and wild herbs. Expert hands administer a warm milk aromatized with St. John's wort to nourish the skin and restore its youthfulness. Next come crystals, arranged along the spine, which release tension and awaken energy flows. The scent of sweet orange hangs in the air, while the body and mind find a natural balance.

 

Phyto Art Balance: harmony rediscovered

The crisp mountain air, the scent of the forest after the rain, and the quiet strength of century-old trees: this massage seems to echo them all. Soothed by heated pine pads, muscles become supple while arnica and rosemary stimulate and revitalize. This is the key to unlock a new source of internal energy.

 

Revitalizing pine massage: the vital touch

On the mountainside, wild herbs capture the strength of the sun and the energy of the wind. Harvested in full bloom, they are first steamed before being used to fill herbal pouches, which are then warmed. On contact with the skin, these alpine essences–derived from the active ingredients of edelweiss, gentian and calamint–restore radiance and vitality. The mountain invites infuses the senses, awakens the body and infuses it with a new sense of energy.

Your escape continues in the Finnish and aromatic steam saunas, designed for two, followed by a range of rejuvenating treatments, such as massages with arnica and rituals using alpine herb. Enjoy an unforgettable moment of relaxation.

Terra SPA

One day, a guest described Terra Hotel as “the magic place.” The name stuck, as the magic can be felt everywhere: in the serenity of the landscapes and the purity of the alpine air, and in the sincere hospitality of the hosts and their creative cuisine, inspired by nature. It offers a complete culinary  change of scene, immersed in an enchanting setting.
At over 5,000 feet above sea level, not far from Bolzano, the contemporary architecture of the Terra Hotel-The Magic Place blends harmoniously with its wider environment. Inside, massive tree trunks, natural wood and soft colors create an elegant, contemporary yet warm atmosphere that instantly channels a sense of relaxation. Its dining room–bathed in light streaming through its floor-to-ceiling windows–reveals spectacular panoramic views of the Dolomites, a hiker's paradise. The perfect setting to appreciate the chef's distinctive gastronomic score, which changes with the seasons and is complemented by fine wines carefully selected by his sister Gisela, an expert sommelier. Both perpetuate the family legacy in a place that feels like home... beneath a carpet of stars.

"In the morning when nature is waking up, I like to sit next to the Stoanernen Mandln. I enjoy the 360° view of the beautiful South Tyrol mountains, the Dolomites, and Ortler, and I listen to the birds chirping and breathe in the scent of the many mountain herbs. For me, it's a unique place. This spot has a particular appeal, being a sacred place for the Celts, the site of witch dances in the Middle Ages, and a place of energy in the modern era. The Stoanernen Mandln are just a 75-minute walk from Terra - The Magic Place. "

"Die Stoanernen Mandln" (The Stone Men)

For me, South Tyrol is one of the most wonderful living spaces in the world. I'm fascinated by the traditional mountain world, the art of Mediterranean living in the town of Bolzano, and the proximity to excursion spots. At least once a year, I treat myself to an opera at the Verona Arena, go sailing on Lake Garda with my family, or escape to Venice. There are so many amazing places which are easily accessible from our house to take day trips.

A fascination with the mountains and the Italian art of living

At Terra – The Magic place the view of the sky is exceptional. No artificial light to disturb the scene, just the simple grandeur of nature.
