Ansitz Heufler
by Norbert Niederkofler

South Tyrolean elegance, historic walls – carefully brought into the here and now. Nestled amid the picturesque mountain landscapes of South Tyrol, with the unparalleled silhouette of the Kronplatz and views of the Dolomites, at the entrance to the Antholz Valley with its namesake lake, stands imposing Ansitz Heufler, a symbol of history and stylish hospitality. Since its construction in 1580 by the Lords of Hohenbühel, known as the "Heufler zu Rasen," this historic property has enchanted all guests with its timeless splendor.

Today, Ansitz Heufler is led by South Tyrolean three-star chef Norbert Niederkofler, internationally renowned for his “Cook the Mountain” philosophy, culinary excellence, and his deep respect for nature and culture. “Ansitz Heufler is a natural extension of our ‘Cook the Mountain’ philosophy,” says Norbert Niederkofler. “A place where hospitality becomes a vessel for culture, identity, and authentic ties to the region. A vibrant space that speaks of past and future, and reflects our vision of respect for nature and community.”

At the heart of Ansitz Heufler, luxury and legend intertwine to create an unforgettable experience. Ten rooms and suites open the doors to a world where every detail tells a story and tranquility speaks its own language. The exclusive lounge bar, set in the estate's former smokehouse, celebrates the fusion of old and new. Here, cold platters featuring high-quality local South Tyrolean sausage and cheese specialties, along with fine wines, become almost messengers between times, accompanied by the warmth of a crackling fireplace. The "Hearnstube," a Renaissance masterpiece adorned with inlays and an antique stove, invites guests to marvel and linger. At Ansitz Heufler, the threads of time meld into a unique tapestry of complete ease and comfort.

A true jewel in the Kronplatz region of the Dolomites.
