Engels Park – Your Exclusive 4-Star Hotel in Vipiteno

Your home away from home.
The most beautiful time of the year.

Engels Park is located right at the entrance to the charming town of Vipiteno – a medieval Fugger town in the northernmost part of South Tyrol – embraced by a breathtaking 6,000 m² natural park. This is the Cuore Felice, the happy heart of our lovingly family-run retreat.

Here, South Tyrolean and Italian culture blend effortlessly, just like Mediterranean ease and Alpine lifestyle. Nature plays a central role at Engels Park – the nature around us, the nature of people, the nature of food, and the nature of wellbeing. All in harmony. All completely natural.

The alpine town of Vipiteno isn’t just Italy’s most northerly town – it’s also the gateway to the lifestyles of the Mediterranean and South Tyrol. Here, among alpine pastures and palm trees, between the Alps and Dolomites, lies a jewel of hospitality, joie de vivre and love of nature. Perfect for finding your way back to nature and to yourself. Now and in the future.

Feminine Strength & Family Forte

: The story of the Volgger family, of Paula and her eight children, of the Plunhof and the Engels Park is an impressive demonstration of what a woman can achieve in the most difficult of circumstances.
: Paula Volgger, a miner’s daughter, began working at the Hotel Sonklarhof in Ridanna when she was just 14. Soon she was dreaming of running her own hotel.
: Paula was 17 when she met Leopold Volgger. After starting their family, the couple focused on making her dream a reality.
: Paula welcomed her first guests in 1979. Together the family beavered away, and even Leopold’s death at far too young an age couldn’t put the brakes on either their willingness to work or their courage.
: With the Plunhof – in Ridanna, above Vipiteno – Paula and her eight children built a sanctuary like no other.
: We are delighted to continue the story of the Volgger family, South Tyrolean hospitality, health and wellbeing here at the Engels Park.
