Family-Run Nature Hotel in South Tyrol's Ahrntal Valley
Naturhotel Molin in the Ahrntal valley in South Tyrol: one house, one family, one credo
At Naturhotel Molin, genuine hospitality is a multigenerational vocation. For more than 40 years, the Lechner family has owned and operated our mountain resort directly beside the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park with heartfelt dedication. We deliberately focus on intimate family care, environmental stewardship, and authentic alpine tranquility rather than large-scale hotel chains.
Our Philosophy & Sustainability Pillars
- Over 40 years family-managed: Markus and Daria Lechner and our longtime team provide personalized daily attention, mountain advice, and warm familiarity.
- 100% Renewable energy: Our entire resort is powered completely by South Tyrolean hydroelectric green energy and local biomass heating.
- On-site EV charging: Modern high-speed EV charging stations located in our private parking lot for your electric vehicle.
- Natural organic timber: Rooms and suites feature solid, untreated Swiss stone pine, larch, and oak harvested from sustainable alpine forestry.
- Direct farm sourcing: Dairy products, free-range eggs, meats, and culinary herbs are sourced directly from mountain farms across the Ahrntal Valley.

LECHNER FAMILY, OWNERS
A family-run hotel for more than 40 years
Naturhotel Molin has been a family-run hotel in the Ahrntal valley for more than 40 years. For us, it is not about “more, higher and further”. It is about what is genuine and original. We want to create a place of strength for our guests – a place to reconnect with nature, with themselves and with the people who matter.
You can feel this attitude in the personal service, in the atmosphere of the hotel, in the cuisine and in the new spaces. A holiday at Molin means experiencing South Tyrol not only as a landscape, but as a feeling – calm, genuine, natural and restorative.
100% renewable energy, e-charging station and more
For us, sustainability is not a marketing word, but a daily decision. Naturhotel Molin uses 100% renewable energy, conscious resources, regional products and architecture that fits the nature of the Ahrntal valley. An e-charging station is also part of our offer.
This creates a nature hotel in South Tyrol that takes responsibility without compromising on comfort. Natural materials, short distances, regional quality and a conscious use of energy make your stay at Molin pleasant, authentic and future-oriented.
New rooms and suites with natural materials
Our new rooms and suites bring nature into the hotel: with plenty of wood, warm colours, natural materials and a feeling of living that radiates calm. The new retreats reflect the philosophy of Molin – high-quality, clear and close to the mountain world of the Ahrntal valley.
Whether as a couple, a family or a wellness guest: at the new Molin, you will find spaces that offer comfort while feeling open and bright. After an active day in the mountains, wellness in the nature spa or an enjoyable evening, this is where you find your personal favourite place to slow down.
The Lechner family, your hosts
For us as hosts, personal contact matters. We want you to feel not only welcome at Naturhotel Molin, but truly arrived. The Lechner family stands for genuine hospitality, regional roots and a hotel run with heart.
This includes South Tyrolean indulgence with the Molin ¾ board, relaxed moments in the Lounge & Bar, relaxation in the nature spa and nature right outside the door.
Consciously. Slowing down.
At the new Naturhotel Molin, holidays are allowed to become slower. Shift down a gear, breathe deeply, look at the mountains, enjoy good food, feel the warmth of the sauna and find peace in your room – this is exactly what our hotel is made for.
The Ahrntal valley provides the perfect setting: quiet paths, wide views, clear air, water, forests and mountains. Molin combines this nature with wellness, family, cuisine and personal hospitality to create a holiday that stays with you.
