Pension Wiesenrain: your B&B in Maranza, in the Puster Valley
In Maranza the terrace at the Wiesenrain looks straight across to the Dolomites. The view runs down the Puster Valley as far as the Eisack Valley, the south-facing balconies catch the midday sun, and all around the village lie alpine pastures and long mountain ridges. Step out of the door and you are already on the trails: in summer the car can stay exactly where you parked it.
Welcome to the Wiesenrain, our guesthouse in Maranza! Ours is a small, family-run house, and it shows in the way we organise the day. In summer, we mainly operate as a B&B: every morning we prepare a generous breakfast with care, and on 4 evenings per week we serve warm dishes in our panoramic dining room. Additional dinners can also be arranged on request. During selected summer weeks, we can also offer half board, with 1–2 restaurant rest days per week. Feel free to contact us to find out what is available for your preferred travel dates. After a day on the hiking trails, the terrace is where you sit down again.
In winter we switch to half board. The cable car is 300 metres away, from the slopes you can ski right back to the house, and in the evening our home-cooked South Tyrolean dishes come to the table. Take it easy in our cosy rooms and explore the nature around us: comfort, hospitality and good food stay the same all year round, and only the landscape behind the windows changes.

The rooms: maple, spruce and balconies facing south
The Wiesenrain is a three-star house with five room types, from 15 to 40 square metres. The furniture follows the rustic South Tyrolean and Tyrolean country-house style, maple in one type, spruce in another, and every room has all the modern conveniences. These are the starting rates, first in B&B, then in half board.
One thing we should say straight away: we cannot take pets, in any of the rooms. And we don't compete with the big wellness hotels. What you find at the Wiesenrain is real South Tyrol, a house run by the two of us, fair prices and no unnecessary luxury.
Here are the rooms in detail.

If you already have a period in mind, contact us without obligation: we will write back with the rooms still free and the conditions for your stay, and gladly with a tip or two on what to do in those days, up on the pastures, out on the trails or on the slopes.

Where we are
Maranza
Maranza is a picturesque mountain village in South Tyrol, in the Puster Valley (Val Pusteria), ringed by peaks and set in a landscape that changes with the seasons. An extensive network of hiking trails leads away from the village, mountain bike routes run through the area, and in winter several ski resorts are within reach. Around all this there is the South Tyrolean cuisine, the unspoilt nature and the quiet of a place that has kept its traditional culture, along with the warm hospitality of the people who live here.
