Quiet luxury in South Tyrol

Here at 1,832 metres above sea level, we enjoy the luxury of silence every day. The buzzword ‘quiet luxury’ takes on a whole new meaning at the Rodenecker Lüsner Alm. At the latest when the sun gives way to the blue hour and the hikers are long gone down in the valley, the world up here is enveloped in a wonderful cloak of silence.

This experience is particularly impressive in the winter months, as the snow ‘swallows’ every sound. In a world that is becoming increasingly noisy, our ears sometimes can't keep up. And our souls also long for an acoustic break. And because our privileged location makes us something like South Tyrol's silence experts, we would like to give you a few ideas for finding more peace and quiet.

Anytime, anywhere: letting silence become louder

You don't have to wait until you're here with us. You can practise silence anywhere, especially when your everyday life gets noisy. Sit by the window in the morning, before your world wakes up, and spend five minutes just for yourself. No music, no television, no smartphone. It takes some effort at first, but it's a real miracle cure for your nervous system.

Naturhotel Runa: Where silence lives

Many regular guests say that the silence around our Naturhotel Runa feels different. Deeper. More multifaceted. Even healing. This is certainly due in part to the special location. And then, of course, there is the fact that we hardly have any mobile phone reception up here. Smartphones contribute a lot to the noise of civilisation. And so messenger services and social media platforms naturally make way for real conversations and true connections.

Runa's rituals for more peace, quiet and serenity

#1 The early bird

In the magical hour between night and day, you can experience peace in its most poetic form: dress warmly and sit outside your door. Close your eyes or let your gaze wander. Then: send your ears on a journey. Listen deeply into the vastness of the high alpine pasture. Are the birds already awake? What are they singing about today? What story does the morning wind bring you?

#2 Tell me, brother tree

Ten minutes from Runa, the larch forest begins. When fresh snow has fallen, all you can hear here are your footsteps and your breath. Sometimes the trees whisper. What do you hear?

#3 An elemental experience

Silence is more than just the absence of sound or noise. It is a space of meaning and a space in which room is created. For your dreams. For new ideas and insights. For your heart's desires and the happiness of the moment. At the end of the day, the fire pit in front of the Naturhotel Runa provides warmth and the opportunity to listen deeply to yourself as you gaze into the dancing flames. Because only when you allow silence can you hear what your inner voice has to say.
