Warning

The “South Tyrol for All” team has worked, and continues to work, to apply objective criteria; however, there is always a subjective component in determining what is accessible and to what degree of difficulty, depending on the actual needs of users. Visitors are therefore advised to spend a few minutes checking in detail some technical sheets, accompanied by comprehensive images of rooms or facilities that may be particularly important, such as the bedroom, bathroom, and also the swimming pool, sauna, etc.
