Forestis Dolomites

High above Bressanone, FORESTIS sits deep in the Plose forest at 1,800 metres, with the Dolomites spread out beyond the trees. What began here in 1912 as a sanatorium has since become a place devoted to the landscape itself, in timber, stone and glass, with suites opening onto the mountains and the forest almost seeming to follow them indoors. Spring water, mountain air, sunlight and the trees outside are not simply part of the setting, but form the very character of the place. The same landscape finds its way onto dishes by Roland Lamprecht, in wild herbs, mushrooms, berries, roots and seasonal produce gathered from the surrounding mountains. Beyond the windows, paths disappear into the forest; come winter, the Plose slopes begin just a few steps away. FORESTIS is not really a place where guests aim to fill the day, but let it slow down and, for once, follow the pace of the mountain.
