Yoga & Wellness Week in the South Tyrol Mountains

The retreat runs across the Winklerhotels group in South Tyrol, four properties within a few minutes of each other in the Pusteria Valley — Lanerhof and Purmontes in Montal, Winkler in Stefansdorf, and Solvie in Pfalzen. Each yoga week is assigned to one hotel, and the instructor and dates are listed on the booking table: Solvie with Anna Kotlarski from 18–25 October 2026, Lanerhof with Anne Katrin Feldkamp from 25 October–1 November 2026, Winkler with Anna Kotlarski on the same dates, Solvie with Anne Katrin Feldkamp from 15–29 November 2026, and Winkler with Veronika and Konstantin Müller from 22 November–6 December 2026.

A typical day has two yoga sessions — an energising morning class and a calmer evening one to close the day. Between them you eat, and there's a lot to eat: the hotels run their own kitchens with South Tyrolean and Italian menus. The rest of the day is unscheduled. In autumn you can walk straight out of the door onto valley trails, take the cable car up Kronplatz, or ride the mountain bike routes; in early winter the same lifts serve the ski slopes. Horse riding, golf and tennis are all nearby, and the hotels have indoor pools and spa areas for the hours in between.

What separates this from a single-venue yoga retreat is the choice built in. You pick the hotel, which in practice means picking your style — Winkler is the five-star design hotel, Solvie is quieter and adults-oriented, Lanerhof positions itself as a sport hotel, and Purmontes is a private luxury chalet. Yoga is the anchor of the week, but it's one part of a broader activity programme, so it suits people who want a class or two a day rather than six hours on the mat.

The setting does a lot of the work. San Lorenzo di Sebato sits in the Pusteria Valley in South Tyrol, northern Italy, surrounded by the Dolomites and the Zillertal Alps. It's about an hour from Bolzano and reachable by train via Brunico, with the A22 motorway not far away if you're driving from Austria or Germany. The closest airports are Bolzano, Innsbruck and Venice, all serviced by the hotels on request.
