Innovation springs forth from tradition
From wooden tub to Charcot shower
We have known of the therapeutic effect of water on our body and spirits for centuries. In more recent years, modern technological advances and scientific research have led to innovative treatment concepts. We blend the knowledge of tradition with the technology of contemporary times.

1500 – 19th century
The Bad Schörgau was first referenced in a document dating back to 1533 and, in 1689, it was first described as a farmers’ spa with bathing parlour, healing springs and a restaurant. In the 18th century, the Bad Schörgau established itself as a popular health and healing centre. In 1846, the original buildings were destroyed by a storm.

Early 20th century
The reconstruction of the Bad Schörgau commenced in 1897 with 20 beds and 10 tub niches. The healing springs and farmers’ spa proved to be extremely popular with the local people. After the Second World War and in the post-war years, life became particularly quiet around the Bad Schörgau.

Operations resumed as normal in the 1960s.

1975 – 2002
Rosi and Sepp Wenter leased the Bad Schörgau and went on to purchase it in 1986. In the decades to follow, they carried out extensive renovations on the main building and the farmers’ spa. The wooden hotel was constructed, the historic bathhouse was converted into the Seppl-Stodl hay barn, and the gourmet restaurant went on to become a venue for connoisseurs. After the sudden death of Sepp Wenter in 2002, his son Gregor took over the management of the Bad Schörgau together with his mother Rosi and sisters Sabine and Steffi.

ATMOSPHERE
Bad Schörgau has grown over the centuries. It is a place that both embraces people and gives them space to breathe.
Surrounded by woods and mountains. Flowing spaces, reminiscent of water. Regionally sourced construction material from the local countryside, including Sarntal porphyry and local larch wood. The spirit of the traditional spa culture resonates in every detail. Meticulously converted, in multi-award-winning architecture. The Bad Schörgau is a winning blend of character, strength and modernity.
The Bad Schörgau comprises the main building and the contemporary Alpine wooden hotel (1), the farmers’ spa (2) with relaxation room (6), the outdoor pool (3) the saunas (4 & 5), Kneipp trail, fountain and whirlpool (7), the Seppl-Stodl hay barn (8) with the Trehs House (9), garden (10) and car park (11).
SARNTAL VALLEY
Original, authentic, and rooted in its sense of values. The mesmerising mountains of the Sarntal Valley open the way to inspiring encounters with nature.
Like a protective horseshoe, the Sarntal Alps encircle the Santal Valley, which extends out from Bolzano to the northern reaches of South Tyrol. A quiet, secluded spot, just a few minutes away from the regional capital.
