From the Bressanone/Val Pusteria motorway exit, follow the Val Pusteria state road until just before Villabassa (47.3 km). At the roundabout, take the first exit. Continue into Val di Braies as far as San Vito (6.5 km) – the Steinerhof is on the left at the end of the village. Between early July and mid-September, a traffic restriction into Val di Braies applies daily from 9 am to 4 pm. As our hotel guests, you’ll automatically receive a free transit permit for this – you’ll find all the details in the information about the summer road closure.
With the Brenner railway you can get as far as Fortezza, where you change onto the Val Pusteria railway and continue to the Villabassa/Braies train station. From there, the bus towards Braies takes you to the San Vito, Oberhaus stop – the Steinerhof is 50 metres away, on the other side of the road.
With the Südtirol Guest Pass you can use bus lines 439 and 442 free of charge, right from your arrival journey on the day you arrive. If you’re arriving between July and mid-September, please book your seat in advance through our reception – more on this in the information about the summer road closure.

Here’s how to reach us
From 1 July to 13 September, access to Val di Braies is restricted daily from 9 am to 4 pm (as of summer 2026). What involves registration and additional costs for most visitors happens completely automatically for you, as our guests:
We take care of the transit permit for your car – you just need to enter your number plate in the form we send you by email. Entry is free for you. If you’re arriving without a car, your Südtirol Guest Pass lets you use bus lines 439 and 442 without buying a ticket at all.
Every trip needs to be booked in advance. We’re happy to take care of that for you. If you’d like, as an outside guest, to combine your visit to Lake Braies with lunch at our restaurant without staying overnight at the hotel, please contact us directly beforehand. For entry between 9 am and 4 pm a ticket is required.
