The place we love

The philosophy and heart of our refuge

“All I need is here; this is where I was born and this is the place where my life finds meaning. I try to recreate and pass on the joy that I get from living here through the furnishings, cuisine, and atmosphere at my hut.”
Johannes Prinoth

Our philosophy

Our values

Our hut is continually evolving and improving thanks to Johannes, who took it over from his parents at just 18 years old and puts his dedication and infinite passion for this special place into everything he does.
His goal is to create a unique setting with familial warmth, loving attention to detail, and passion for hospitality. A place where every guest feels perfectly at home and can enjoy a new, unforgettable experience every time they visit.

Our philosophy

For us, beauty lies in all the tiny details that brighten every inch of our home; in the awe that fills the eyes of people seeing Mt Sassolungo/Langkofel and the other surrounding mountains for the first or hundredth time; in the smiles and warmth of the people who choose to stay at our hut every year. 

Our family has always loved the mountains and every facet of the lifestyle that this land lets us live. And we’ve been passionate about animals for as long as we can remember. That’s partly why we decided to create our organic yak and Highland cattle farm around our hut, in the heart of the Dolomites.
