Naturally Healthy: A Sustainable Holiday in Sulden South Tyrol

In Sulden at the Ortler, nestled in the heart of Stelvio National Park, your holiday is more than just relaxing – it’s a contribution to climate protection and sustainable tourism.

• Electricity from a local hydroelectric plant
• District heating generated CO₂-neutral from biomass
• Minimal traffic and high forest lines support natural carbon absorption

By staying at Hotel Zebrù, you actively support an eco-friendly tourism concept that respects and protects the alpine environment.

Pure Mountain Air & Low-Allergen Environment

Thanks to its protected high-altitude location (1,900 m), Sulden is largely free from industrial or urban air pollution. The pollen-poor mountain air is especially beneficial for:

• Allergy sufferers (pollen count drops significantly from July onward)
• Asthmatics (low irritants, pollutant-free)
• People with respiratory issues

The surrounding forest acts as a natural air filter. Wood terpenes enrich the air, while h*ouse dust mites* and mold spores can barely survive at this altitude.

➡️ Sulden’s clean air is a gift for your lungs.

Alpine Climate with a Natural Training Effect

At 1,900 m elevation, the dry climate and increased UV radiation create a unique, health-promoting atmosphere – often referred to as natural climate therapy.

Your body benefits naturally:
Increased red blood cell production (altitude training effect)
Low humidity calms the bronchial system
Even light walks mimic cardio training at lower elevations

It’s normal to feel more tired or need more sleep during the first few days – a sign your body is adjusting. Soon, you’ll feel lighter, balanced, and energized.

Terrain Cure in Sulden: Nature’s Way to Recharge

The terrain cure uses the natural stressors of the high-alpine environment (1,850 to over 3,000 m) to stimulate healing:

UV light, cold air, and low oxygen challenge and strengthen the body
Promotes a stronger immune system, heart health and lung function
Especially effective for asthma, allergies, and fatigue

When applied moderately, the high mountain climate offers long-lasting health benefits. Sulden becomes more than just a holiday destination – it’s a natural center of regeneration and resilience.
