"Hedwidge Mumelter and her daughters, Nadja and Claudia, are behind the family-run Eco Hotel Saltus, a 26-room hotel that opened in 2019. The three women crafted Saltus with an eco-conscious ethos that focuses on lifestyle and nature. Its location in San Genesio is on the Salten, Europe’s highest larch plateau, which takes the starring role in the Saltus experience. This is a place that aspires to help you live better. Saltus has a robust program of activities focused on holistic living, healthy eating, and other practices that benefit the body and mind, including meditation, painting, cooking, and forest bathing. Architecturally, the hotel was designed to be a contemporary lodge that fades into the surrounding nature through simple lines, materials such as responsibly sourced local stone, lime clay, and larch wood, and soft colors that reflect the hues of the Dolomites.
