Week 6 of 14 — and we’ve reached the second floor! 🏗️

The ceiling above our new event space has been poured, creating the floor for the rooms above it. The first room walls are already taking shape.

There’s progress all around the hotel: the walls of the outdoor pool have been poured, and work continues where the new building connects to the existing one. Inside, the dining room has been cleared for its extension, and our new heating system has arrived.

Little by little, you can see how everything is coming together. Which part of the transformation would you like a closer look at next? ✨

Week 5 of 14 — and you can really see the transformation taking shape now! 🏗️✨

The large concrete slab above our wellness area has been poured. This will become the floor of our new event space, where the first walls are already going up.

The curved ramp is complete, too. One day, it will welcome guests arriving for weddings and celebrations. And outside, the basin of our new pool has been poured! 🏊‍♀️

Week 3 of our transformation 🔨

This time, Sophia is taking you onto the construction site herself. Together with her brother, she runs the Mineralienhotel in the third generation — and now they’re watching its next chapter take shape, step by step.

This week, work continued around the underground garage and the technical rooms. The columns are in place, the walls have been concreted, and the formwork, steel reinforcement and pipes have been prepared for the next slab pour.

There’s still a long way to go, but it’s exciting to see the new spaces begin to take shape. Follow along for next week’s update! 🤍

Week 2 of our transformation 🔨

After the pipes were laid, a base layer of concrete followed. Then came the steel reinforcement, work on the elevator shaft and the pouring of the slab. The first walls are already standing!

This week also brought a delivery that means a lot to us: two containers with a total of 45 tonnes of marble and natural stone. Here at the Mineralienhotel, surrounded by the South Tyrolean Alps, we’re choosing real stone floors throughout — no tiles or artificial flooring. We can’t wait to show you the materials up close. 🤍

MINERAL MONDAY ✦ MESOLITE
Nature’s fireworks in crystal form.

Soft, fluffy, almost like tiny snowballs… but take a closer look.

What you see are actually thousands of incredibly fine Mesolite crystals, growing together in beautiful radiating formations.

This extraordinary specimen comes from Maharashtra, India - a region famous among mineral collectors for its spectacular zeolites.

Mesolite belongs to the zeolite group and typically forms very fine, needle-like crystals. In this specimen, countless individual needles grow outward from common centres, creating these almost perfectly rounded crystal sprays.

But how does something this delicate actually form?

Mesolite can grow inside small cavities in volcanic rock. Mineral-rich water moves through the rock and, under the right conditions, crystals slowly begin to develop in these hidden spaces.

The result is a fascinating contrast:
Hard volcanic rock on the outside.
Thousands of delicate crystal needles on the inside.

Nature has a way of hiding some of its most beautiful details where you least expect them.

And sometimes, you have to get very close to truly see them.

Discover it in our Mineral Museum.

The man behind the minerals - Markus Klement

Behind our mineral collection is a person who has dedicated much of his life to the world hidden inside the mountains.

Markus Klement discovered his fascination for minerals as a teenager, inspired by the South Tyrolean mineral collector Paul Fischnaller from Teis. What fascinated him was not simply the beauty of a crystal, but the search itself - learning to read the rock, understanding where minerals form and discovering what nature has created over millions of years.

For decades, Markus explored the Alps with his tools, experience and an ever-growing knowledge of the mountains. Some of his original boots and equipment can still be seen in our museum today - reminders of countless days spent searching in the field.

Over time, his world of minerals expanded far beyond the Alps. Friendships with collectors developed, journeys followed and exceptional specimens from many different parts of the world became part of his private collection.

In 2019, this lifelong passion found a permanent home in our Mineral Museum - created not simply to display minerals, but to share the knowledge, discoveries and stories behind them.

Today, Markus spends less time searching in the mountains, but his fascination remains at the heart of everything we do.

Thousands of stories.
Countless discoveries.
One lifelong passion.

The man behind the minerals and the reason they became the heart of our hotel.

MINERAL MONDAY ✦ THE FIRST DISCOVERY

Every collection has a beginning.

This small Teiser Kugel was the very first mineral our father Markus discovered in 1979 near Teis in South Tyrol.

At the time, he had no idea that one discovery would grow into a passion lasting more than four decades.

Teiser Kugeln are natural concretions found in volcanic rocks around Teis. When carefully opened, some reveal beautiful crystal-lined cavities, making every specimen a surprise.

This very first find became the starting point of what is today a collection of more than 1,500 minerals from around the world.

Every great story begins somewhere.
Ours began with this small stone.

Everything started with family.

What started as a family dream has grown into something we never imagined.

Three generations.
Countless memories.
More than 25 years of welcoming guests from all over the world.

This photo takes us back to the early days - when we were already sharing our passion for hospitality, long before social media became part of the journey.

Today, our community has grown to 1,000 followers on Instagram and we’d simply like to say thank you.

Thank you for following along.
For supporting our family business.
For every like, every comment, every booking and every kind message.

And this is only the beginning.

In just a few weeks, we’ll start the biggest transformation of the Mineralienhotel since 2000.

A new chapter.
New spaces.
New ideas.

We can’t wait to share it with you.

Here’s to the next 1,000. 💜

MINERAL MONDAY ✦ VIVIANITE

This week, we journey deep into the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. 🇧🇷

Few minerals surprise collectors quite like Vivianite.

At first glance, its long, blade-like crystals captivate with intense shades of deep blue and emerald green. But these striking colours weren’t always there.

When Vivianite first forms, its crystals are usually colourless to pale green. Only over time, as they are exposed to oxygen and light, do they gradually transform into the rich blue-green tones that make this mineral so unmistakable.

Fun fact:
Vivianite is one of the very few minerals whose appearance continues to evolve even after its formation. The colours you admire today are the result of a slow natural process that can take years, making every specimen slightly different from the next.

Its elegant crystal habit, remarkable colour transformation and relative rarity have made Vivianite one of the most sought-after minerals among collectors worldwide.

At the Mineralienhotel, you can discover this exceptional specimen alongside more than 1,500 minerals from over 50 countries in our in-house Mineral Museum - included for all hotel guests.

For those wishing to bring a piece of the mineral world home, selected specimens are also available in our online shop.

Nature doesn’t always reveal its beauty at first glance. Sometimes, it takes time.

From kitchen to table.

The sound of fresh pasta being rolled.
The final touch on every plate.
A glass of w**e poured at the perfect moment.

Every dish is prepared fresh, every ingredient carefully selected and every detail thoughtfully finished.

Simple.
Seasonal.
Homemade.
Served à la minute.

Because cooking isn’t just about food.
It’s about creating moments you’ll remember.
