In the retreat of Oberbozen, located on a sunny plateau above the South Tyrolean town of Bolzano, lies Parkhotel Holzner. This Alpine Art Nouveau hotel has been welcoming guests since 1908, offering families a relaxed mix of historic charm and warm hospitality. With its thoughtful design and dedication to multi-generational travel, the Holzner is a place where every member of the family feels at home.

"Children don't bring turmoil, they bring life into a house," says Hans Holzner, senior director, father of six, and grandfather of 15. This philosophy is woven into the everyday life of Parkhotel Holzner, where families are at the heart of every experience.

Situated at an altitude of 1,200 metres, Parkhotel Holzner offers sweeping views of South Tyrol’s beautiful landscapes. The nearby Ritten Cable Car, departing every four minutes, provides a quick and scenic link to the cultural highlights of Bolzano, the region’s capital, named the most picturesque winter destination of 2024. Whether exploring the medieval streets, visiting the famous Ötzi Museum, or wandering through the markets, the Holzner’s location makes it easy to combine peaceful mountain living with the buzz of city life..

Parkhotel Holzner has been designed with families in mind. A daily programme of activities keeps children aged 3 to 12 entertained, with a dedicated team encouraging outdoor play and group dynamics. Activities such as scavenger hunts, bocce tournaments, tennis, and evenings around the campfire provide endless opportunities for fun. Three times a week, the Holzner also organises activities for the whole family, ensuring all generations can enjoy time together.

The hotel has spacious playrooms, an outdoor playground, and a kids' diner offering menus for small gourmets. For teens, there are activities such as indoor field hockey, a bowling alley, and a climbing wall, making it an inclusive space for all ages.

For shared family adventures, the surrounding Ritten plateau offers year-round activities. In summer, hiking and mountain biking trails crisscross the area, while winter brings snowshoeing and skiing. Guests also use the RittenCard, which provides complimentary access to public transport, and cable cars across South Tyrol.

The recently updated LibertySpa is a serene space for relaxation. Families can enjoy year-round heated indoor and outdoor pools, children’s pools, and two family saunas, along with dedicated family relaxation rooms. Adults seeking a moment of calm can retreat to the panoramic sauna, hammam, or treatment rooms. The infinity pool, reflecting the Dolomites on its surface, is just as magical as it sounds.
