On the way to happiness. The Dalai Lama once said that our real purpose in life is to be happy. This we can achieve by doing the things we do best. And so from the Hotel Moarhof we created our Design Hotel SILENA. A place where you can let go and do what you want to do. Here with us in Vals, at the heart of the beautiful mountain world of South Tyrol, you can discover the unique combination of South East Asian secrets of wellbeing and South Tyrol culture.

Open skies. Daylight. Winding paths through a hilly landscape. 82 square meters relax area with panorama views. And 33 square metres of sauna with breathtaking panorama views. Let your eyes roam over the mountain scenery and feel so close to nature's skies.

Here in our hotel we think your wellness vacation should also include the finest delicacies. The delicious and healthy meals prepared by our SILENA chefs also contribute  to your physical and mental wellbeing. The "cream on the cake" may well be the specialities from our dessert chefs or the fine wines and cheese varieties selected by our cheese sommelier Simon who keeps these as special treasures in our "Cheese Room".

Count the stars through the roof window above your bed. King-size bed. Balcony. Walk-in wardrobe. Canopy bed. Patio. Mountain views. Private sauna and barbeque. Your personal hideaway with 4-star superior comfort, in room or suite. Here you can enjoy every single moment of your vacation. And for those who like to sleep surrounded by selected literature, choose a "SOULFUL literature junior suite".

And so, we are pleased to serve some of your meals poolside in the garden. Here you are totally relaxed and can enjoy delicious meals from our organic kitchen at the indoor or outdoor pool maybe with a refreshing wine slushie. When it gets dark or maybe a little cooler or just because it's nice, then we make a crackling fire. Childhood memories of campfires come alive. And once again, you feel so happy to be able to return to the essential.

...Mysterious mists. Mountain panoramas to make you speechless. Of course where the cows are contented! Come and discover our home region. On the nearby Fane Alm, probably the most beautiful mountain pasture in the South Tyrolean region, you take part in the centuries old tradition of alpine meadow farming. If you wish, you can join a walking tour at sunrise or a deep-breathing walking tour at full moon. Included is a stop-over in a traditional mountain chalet.  

You know this already and you don't want to be without it? Or maybe you haven't tried yet but now at last, you have the chance? In SILENA you are encouraged and supported by your personal trainer. Whatever you feel like - a mountain hike, reaching the summit at your own tempo? Or maybe you would like to try out a new sport type such as Fatbiking, Acro-Yoga or Qi Gong? Whatever you want, we are here for you!

On the way to happiness. The Dalai Lama once said that our true mission was to be happy. We are happy when we are doing what we do best. And so we Simon and Magdalena have made the Hotel Moarhof into the SILENA. A place where you can simply enjoy all your needs since the 26th of December 2017. In a unique combination of South East Asian secrets of wellbeing and the culture of South Tyrol. And all this in the wonderful mountain world of South Tyrol.

Do you also have the feeling in the "dark" seasons of the year that you must do something?  And you make use of the cold months to do something for your soul, to return to the roots and enjoy tranquillity? Turn your back on the cold months of the year and embrace the comfort and warmth of the SILENA SPA. Our relaxation and spoil-yourself rituals are ready for you.

At a low table you can literally feel close to Asia. May we treat you to a tea ceremony? May we pour you tea with all the attention  of a Japanese Geisha? Find inner peace in our unique tea library. Just select something special for yourself, whether an invigorating alpine herb infusion or a green tea from Asia. And with your tea we are delighted to also serve you with something to read from our library of over 1,000 volumes.

Fatbikes have been in series production since 2005. What, you never heard of them? Then maybe your next winter holiday at SILANA will provide the ideal opportunity to try out something new! When a normal mountain bike no longer has any chance in snow, ice and mud, then this is where the fatbike with its extra wide tires come into its own! So even in winter, in the snow, you can cycle around the mountain ranges of Val and Meransen. We offer you free use of a fatbike!

In Design Hotel SILENA you can combine winter sport and recuperation perfectly. On returning from the hectic of the ski slope you can simply  enjoy the wellness facilities of SILENA. Save yourself the trip to the ski region: SILENA is located directly next to the valley station Jochtal to the sunny ski and holiday area Gitschberg Jochtal. So you can enjoy downhill skiing for 2-3 hours, for example in the morning, and then move on to cross-country or enjoy a wellness program. 

You know this already and you don't want to be without? Or maybe you haven't tried yet but now at last, you have the chance? In SILENA you are encouraged and supported by your personal trainer. Whatever you wish, whether a ski tour, reaching the summit at your own tempo? Or maybe you would like to try out a new sport type such as snowshoe hiking, fatbiking or yoga or Qi Gong? We are ready!
