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.
- Irma Lechner has a particularly special connection to the house. For more than 50 years, she has been a hotelkeeper with all her heart and soul. Even at the age of 72, she can still be found at the hotel every day, right in the heart of things. Her warmth, her personality and her long-standing connection to the house have shaped the “Molin”.
- 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.

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.
