The Church Steeple of the Lake...
...is the trademark of the "Oberland" of the Vinschgau/Venosta Valley. This mysterious tower rising above the waves of Lake Reschen/Resia stands against the majestic backdrop of the Ortler/Ortles, a painful reminder of the vanished town of Old Reschen/Resia and Old Graun/Curon, which were submerged by the reservoir in 1949/50. You can learn more about the construction of the reservoir at the community museum in Graun/Curon.
Das "Rethian Triangle" formed by Vinschgau/Venosta (Italy) - Oberes Gericht (Austria) - Unterengadin (Switzerland) is a fascinating melting pot of cultures. Numerous cultural treasures, fortresses, castles, churches, monasteries, and especially the picturesque towns and villages of this region all give testimony to the checkered history of Rethia.
Many nearby sightseeing destinations with their unique Romanic and Gothic frescoes can be conveniently reached from our hotel.
