There are places that slow us down the moment we step inside \u2013 places that feel warm, clear and soothing in a way that settles something deep within us. Our stay at the ECO Aparthotel OLM was exactly that: days filled with warmth, calm, vegan delights and nature that invited us to breathe more deeply.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why We Chose the OLM \u2013 Sustainability & Vegan Delights<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the main reasons we chose the OLM was its genuinely lived commitment to sustainability. The hotel was built to KlimaHaus-A standards, powered by over 3,000 m\u00b2 of photovoltaic panels, supported by geothermal energy and designed around consciously resource-friendly principles. Here, sustainability isn\u2019t a slogan \u2013 it\u2019s a way of life.<\/p>\n

Equally important to us as vegans: vegan options are completely natural here<\/strong>. At breakfast, in the PRENN\u00b0 restaurant, and even at the evening buffet, we were spoiled with fresh, creative, regional dishes \u2013 often made in the hotel\u2019s own organic bakery.<\/p>\n

A little tip:<\/strong> We let the hotel know about our vegan diet when booking. I highly recommend doing the same so the team can lovingly prepare your meals in advance.<\/p>\n

This combination of modern sustainability and genuine vegan hospitality won us over immediately.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our Home at the OLM \u2013 Warm Wood & Views Across the Valley<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Eco ApartSuite M felt like a sanctuary from the moment we stepped in. Warm larchwood walls, large windows and plenty of light created a deeply calming atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Our private sauna<\/strong> quickly became a highlight: outside the crisp autumn air, inside the soothing warmth \u2013 perfect after a walk or a workout.<\/p>\n

From our bed we looked straight out across the valley \u2013 a wide, quiet view framed by the forested slopes on either side, giving the landscape a gentle softness. Each morning felt calmer and more peaceful because of it. My husband adored the rain shower, while I fell in love with the little yoga space in front of the window \u2013 especially when the autumn sun moved across the wooded hills opposite.<\/p>\n

And of course: the cosy armchair in the corner with a cup of tea \u2013 my personal relaxation spot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Stargazing in the Pool<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When we arrived it was raining lightly, but soon the sky cleared and the air felt fresh and crisp. We decided to make the most of our first evening.<\/p>\n

We slipped into the heated outdoor pool<\/strong>, swimming from the warm indoor area into the cool night air \u2013 and above us, an unexpectedly clear sky opened up. We spotted the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia and countless tiny stars. Warm in the water, cool on the face \u2013 a magical, quiet moment.<\/p>\n

Back in our suite, we went straight to the sauna. The warmth felt like a gentle embrace \u2013 relaxing, soothing, perfect after the swim.<\/p>\n

Later, we cooked a simple dinner in our small kitchen and enjoyed a cosy evening in. This flexibility is one of the things we truly love about the OLM.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A Sunny Walk Along the Ahr<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The next morning greeted us with sunshine. We walked along the Ahr (Aurino)<\/strong> \u2013 turquoise, clear and beautifully calm.<\/p>\n

After the gym and our beloved sauna session, we headed to the PRENN\u00b0 restaurant<\/strong> in the evening, where a dedicated vegan multi-course menu was prepared just for us. Each dish was fresh, seasonal and thoughtfully crafted \u2013 you can really feel how much care goes into vegan cuisine here.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> PRENN\u00b0 is very popular \u2013 reservations are essential. Ideally book a few days before your arrival, especially if you’re vegan.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> As an aperitif, I had the \u201cSissy\u201d and my husband chose the \u201cTony\u201d \u2013 both alcohol-free, light, aromatic and wonderfully creative.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hike to the St. Walburga Chapel<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our third day was again mild and sunny. We hiked to the St. Walburga Chapel<\/strong>, a peaceful spot with stunning views of the valley. You can walk to the chapel directly from the OLM \u2013 we chose the small woodland path that begins just before the hotel. It\u2019s a quiet, beautiful trail through the forest, and along the way we discovered so many tiny, magical mushrooms that we kept stopping to look at them.<\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> If you visit the chapel, take this woodland path \u2013 it\u2019s far more atmospheric than the route around the outside and a lovely little nature moment.<\/p>\n

At the chapel, a serene view of the South Tyrolean mountains opened up \u2013 a perfect spot to pause and breathe.<\/p>\n

Back at the OLM, we made ourselves a cup of tea, followed it with a gym session and a visit to the sauna.<\/p>\n

In the evening, there was a buffet \u2013 and it was wonderfully done<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
