Close to the action. Nestled in nature.

A retreat in the unspoilt natural landscape of the Ratschings valley. Gently embraced by wide Alpine meadows, sheltered by wooded slopes and the impressive peaks of the Stubai Alps. Alpura lies peacefully on the traffic-free, sunny slopes of Ratschings, far from the hustle and bustle of the major Alpine valleys. And yet close to the pulse of life – just beyond the Brenner Pass, only 10km from the A22 motorway exit at Sterzing.

The picturesque town of Sterzing, the dramatic Gilfenklamm Gorge, the Ratschings-Jaufen hiking area and ski resort, and many more attractions: step outside and you’re surrounded by the richness of our natural world. Ratschings is rightly classed as one of the Alpine Pearls – holiday destinations committed to sustainable tourism and low-impact mobility. And that makes it the perfect location for family bliss that suits everyone.
