First customs house, later a farm, then inn and finally a modern Sport Hotel: the story of the Sporthotel Zoll in Vipiteno is just as long as multifaceted. They can be traced back to a customs house, which was first mentioned in the 13th century, but lost its function in the 18th century. Because here no more tariffs were lifted, the customs house was transformed into a farm, which was run by the Messner family until 1967. At that time it was decided to turn it into an inn which has been expanded gradually, step by step and steadily modernized into the four-star Sport Hotel.

The next ambitious goal has already been set by the Messner family – the Sporthotel Zoll is to be the first green Sport Hotel, and equally focused on health, nature and sustainability. The hotel has a swimming pool with an indoor and outdoor area, a climbing wall and tennis court, a mini golf course and a health club, sauna and spa area. The fitness of its guests is taken care of by professional physiotherapists and sports scientists if requested.

Being active means not necessarily being inside the hotel, but also (and especially) in nature in and around Vipiteno. In winter there are several ski resorts and a cross-country skiing paradise on the doorstep, in summer you can explore the mountains around Vipiteno through trekking routes or by mountain bike.
