Pufels, where you can find the Arbea Apartments, is a picturesque village located above the Gröden Valley. From here there are beautiful views of the village of St. Ulrich and the striking Seceda massif. Rye, oats and barley were once grown here; these three grains have now given their Ladin names – Avëina, Siëla and Orde – to the Arbea Apartments.
The hosts, Silvia Delago and Sebald Goller, are passionate both about the art of woodcarving as well as the mountain idyll that surrounds the Arbea guesthouse; their love of art and nature can be seen throughout their establishment. There is a service room for bikes, hiking equipment and skis, as well as an underground garage, a charging station for e-cars and even e-bikes for hire. For those wishing to start the day with a hearty breakfast, bread rolls and fresh milk can be ordered from the neighbouring farm.
Whether in winter or summer, this is the ideal place for active guests as well as for those seeking peace and quiet. The summer and ski bus services in the Gröden Valley mean that nature lovers can travel completely car(e)free directly from the Arbea Apartments to the countless destinations in and around the area. What’s more, the Mobilcard lets holidaymakers use public transport for free, while numerous activities are offered locally by Val Gardena Active at either no cost or a reduced rate. The indoor and outdoor pools at the Mar Dolomiti wellness centre in St. Ulrich can also be used free of charge.
Guests at the Arbea particularly appreciate the high-quality apartments that allow well-being to be enjoyed in a sustainable way! Bright and well-kept, the lovingly furnished interiors have been built to meet strict ecological criteria. Isolation from the electricity mains moreover ensures a radiation-free night’s sleep on sleeping systems made of natural sheep’s wool, while the photovoltaic and solar installations and the pellet heating systems all generate sustainable heat and energy.
