FORESTIS, a 5* luxury mountain retreat located in the South Tyrolean Alps, invites guest to reconnect with nature, with sustainability and wellbeing at its heart. From the architecture and interior to the cuisine and spa, guests are reassured of their limited carbon footprint while staying at the retreat, with no compromise on style or comfort. 

The CO2 neutral FORESTIS building uses 100% renewable energy, produced by the retreat’s own plant and wood heating system, while the exteriors and interiors are created using local South Tyrolean suppliers and eco-friendly materials. Surrounding the retreat are the felled trees which are used as fences, with two new plantings made for each tree used.   

FORESTIS Head Chef Roland Lamprecht, a native of South Tyrol, takes inspiration from his natural surroundings by sourcing only local produce from nearby suppliers and the FORESTIS garden, to maintain his passion for organic cuisine. Roland’s unique ‘Forest Cuisine’ dining experience uses foraged ingredients in the most creative and delicious way, from the spruce sprouts with their subtle citrus notes to the wide variety of local mushrooms and aromatic wild herbs. FORESTIS also maintains a zero plastic, no-waste policy throughout the retreat. 

The FORESTIS spa and in-room spa products consist of 100% natural ingredients inspired by the elements and surrounding native trees, using biodegradable packaging. The natural water, produced from the Plose mountain, is recycled within the spa and used to fill non-plastic, refillable bottles for guests. 

Guests are actively encouraged to reduce their impact on the environment by limiting their housekeeping requirements. Every day a guest chooses not to use these services, saving excess water and energy, FORESTIS will plant a tree to say thank you.   

Located on the Southern slope of the Plose mountain at 1800 metres above sea level, FORESTIS is the idyllic mountaintop hideaway to reconnect with body and soul and embrace nature, while surrounded by the four elements of; pure spring water, pristine mountain air, countless house of sunshine and a mild climate.
