Your nature holiday, our holiday apartments!
Allergy-friendly accommodation that respects people and the environment
South of the Brenner Pass, where Mediterranean vibrancy and Tyrolean tranquillity go hand in hand, our Appartements zum Theater are located in the heart of the historic town of Colle Isarco/Gossensass, known for its invigorating Alpine air for centuries. Our individually designed holiday apartments eagerly await your visit.
Whether it is history or homeliness that interests you, you will find both in this listed building from the turn of the century.
Our eco-friendly holiday apartments are called ‘Wintermärchen’ (Winter Wonderland), ‘Sommerwind’ (Summer Breeze), ‘Sonnenzauber’ (Sunshine Magic), ‘Frühlingstau’ (Springtime Dew) and ‘Herbstsonne’ (Autumn Sun).
These names reflect the ideas behind our apartments, which are very special to us.
Zum Theater – Because life’s a stage!
The building that now houses our apartments was built in 1905 and purchased by the Catholic Workers’ Association of Colle Isarco/Souh Tyrol/Italy in 1906. They used it for various social projects.
Erika Schuster, Joseph Schuster’s daughter, acquired a 25% share of the property in 1931. She struggled for years to acquire the remaining shares, which she finally did in 1987.
During the Fascist era, the playhouse was redesigned and used as a cinema. Parts of the building also belonged to the Ente Nazionale per le Tre Venezie, a Fascist organisation which purchased real estate from German-speaking South Tyroleans so that it could be sold to Italians.
Erika, now known as Erika Plank, transferred ownership of the building to her son Gerold and his wife Helga in 1991.
Between 1994 and 1998, the building was renovated to ensure that it conformed to best practices in environmental health. While the renovations were going on, it was discovered that the walls of the playhouse showcased beautiful murals, with the odd bullet hole here and there.
As a result, the building with the playhouse became a listed building.

Experience new attractions
…a hop, skip and a jump away
The hotel’s location makes it an ideal starting point for trips and tours both within South Tyrol and to destinations north of the Brenner Pass. You can travel to cities such as Innsbruck and Verona, or visit the Dolomites and Lake Garda by train, bus or car within a day. However, there are many things to see and do in the vicinity: hike through the Gilfenklamm gorge, or go for a walk along Obernberger See lake. Laze around on the Alpine pastures and relax in the small huts on the mountains around the Brenner Pass. Visit the medieval Reifenstein castle, or discover more about the history of mining at the South Tyrol Museum of Mining in Ridanna/Ridnaun. We would be more than happy to tell you more about the local attractions and upcoming events when you arrive.
Summer activities
Hiking & mountain climbing
Explore the unique mountain landscape around the Brenner Pass
Whether you are interested in retracing old smuggling routes, lazing around on the green pastures of the Pflerschtal valley, Hühnerspiel or Zirog, discovering hidden waterfalls and crystal clear mountain lakes or trekking to the top of Alpine mountains like the Tribulaun and other peaks and glaciers in the Stubai and Zillertal Alps at over 3,000 m, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for!
Mountain biking & e-biking
Straight to the top or leisurely tours of the valley
The area around the Brenner Pass has countless routes on former military roads guaranteed to please any ambitious mountain biker. For cyclists who would rather explore the valley, the Brenner-Verona cycling trail offers stunning panoramas and opportunities to explore sleepy villages off the beaten track. If you’ve had enough of cycling, you can take the train back to the hotel.
Visit our museums
- South Tyrol Mining Museum in Ridnaun
- South Tyrol Museum of Archeaology (Ötzi) in Bozen
- South Tyrol Museum of hunting and fishing in Ratschings
- South Tyrolean Folklore Museum in Dietenheim

Winter activities
Skiing & snowboarding
The best way to experience snow-covered slopes
There are three ski resorts close to the hotel where you can test your skills on the slopes: the snowy Ladurns, whose delightful pistes with beautiful views of the Tribulaun peaks are covered in snow until March. Then there is the sunny Rosskopf with its new downhill run and Ratschings, which is the largest of the three and always a great place for a little detour.
Sledging
until the runners are red-hot
The options for capturing a Kodak moment are endless: rustic mountain huts, snowy pastures and verdant forests, just to name a few. We have more than 7 groomed sledging trails up to 10 km long, and some of them are accessible by cable car. We provide our guests with a sledge and useful tips – free of charge, of course.
Ski tours in the Brenner Alps
Would you like to see lots of snow? Here’s an insider tip:
Both sides of the Brenner Pass provide wonderful opportunities for ski tours. Our hotel is close to the former ski resorts Hühnerspiel, Zirog and Sattelberg, which offer low-risk options as well as snow-covered mountain peaks. Our family loves planning ski tours, and we would be more than happy to help you plan yours.
Inspired by nature and environmentally sustainable
An added bonus for allergy sufferers and the environmentally conscious
Environmental sustainability is important to us, and we took it into account as much as possible when renovating our holiday apartments.
Thick walls of natural stone, waxed solid-wood parquet, a staircase made of Italian marble and solid wood furniture are just some of the natural materials you’ll find in our apartments.
Their cosy warmth comes from the local heating plant, which uses wood chippings. We also feel warm and cosy inside knowing that we’re doing our part to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Look forward to a relaxing holiday with us!
