What Hotel Quelle***** Nature Spa Resort does

Hotel Quelle Nature Spa Resort is a 5-star luxury wellness hotel located in Val Casies (Gsiesertal), South Tyrol, Italy, at 1,400 metres elevation between the Dolomites and the Rieserferner mountain range. Founded in 1950 by Benedikt Steinmair as a 7-room inn, the property has been operated continuously by the Steinmair family across three generations — Erich took over management in 1981, and Manuel Steinmair assumed leadership in 2017 alongside the property's elevation to 5-star status.
