Complimentary Cunfin Springs Water: Eco‑Friendly Hydration Straight from the Dolomites

Travelers often juggle cost, convenience, and sustainability when it comes to drinking water on holiday. At Hotel Angelo Engel in Ortisei, Complimentary Cunfin Springs Water solves all three: pure tap water from the Dolomites flows freely on every dining table, so you never need to purchase bottled water with your meals.

Drawn directly from the “Cunfin” springs at the foot of the Sassolungo mountain, the hotel’s taps deliver high-quality drinking water throughout the property. It’s fresh, local, and seamlessly aligned with a broader commitment to sustainability.

What is Cunfin Springs Water?

A source beneath Sassolungo

Cunfin Springs water originates at the base of the Sassolungo in Val Gardena. At Hotel Angelo Engel, this spring water is supplied directly to the hotel’s taps, offering guests clean, refreshing hydration straight from the Dolomites.

• Lower transport impact: Tap water avoids the emissions tied to bottling and trucking.

How complimentary water supports our broader sustainability journey

At Hotel Angelo Engel, sustainability means integrating ecological, social, and economic goals into everyday operations. Complimentary Cunfin Springs water is one meaningful step among many:

• Local, seasonal cuisine: The kitchen emphasizes fresh, high-quality regional products—with milk, yoghurt, and apples sourced 100% from South Tyrol, farm butter directly from the Pradac farm above Ortisei, and some honey harvested from the hotel’s own garden beehives.
• Smarter dining, less waste: Evening menu selections are gathered in the morning to help minimize food waste.
• Certified progress: The hotel holds the South Tyrol Sustainability Label Level 3.
• Thoughtful housekeeping: Bed linens and towels are changed only on request, and the team primarily uses eco-friendly cleaning products and recycled paper. Waste is carefully sorted and items are given a second life through donation whenever possible.
• Nature-friendly grounds: A 3,000 m² park offers tranquility for guests and neighbors alike, with two beehives in the wildflower meadow—each home to up to about 50,000 bees.
• Car‑light travel: Public transportation in South Tyrol is well developed, with frequent buses. From Ortisei’s village center, cable cars lead directly to Alpe di Siusi, Seceda, and Rasciesa (Resciesa) in the Puez‑Odle Nature Park, so it’s easy to leave the car parked.
• Culture and community: In collaboration with Val Gardena Active, the hotel also supports cultural highlights, including visits to local sculptors and carvers.

Culinary moments where pure water shines

Great water elevates great food. At Hotel Angelo Engel, places of pleasure include:

• The cozy main restaurant
• The traditional Tyrolean Stube with its original Gardena tiled stove
• The sunny terrace
• The classic hotel bar

Here, complimentary Cunfin Springs water pairs with a culinary philosophy rooted in South Tyrol—local dairy, apples, and farm butter, plus honey from the garden’s beehives. It’s a simple, natural companion to both rich alpine dishes and lighter seasonal plates.

Hydration and the Dolomite lifestyle

Exploring Val Gardena is all about movement and immersion in nature. The hotel’s activity program brings you closer to the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites, with options like guided hikes and—when in season—mountain adventures, as well as a summer outing that features an Alpine barbecue lunch on Passo Sella.

• Directly from Ortisei’s center, ride up to Alpe di Siusi, Seceda, or Rasciesa by cable car.
• After your outing, unwind by the year‑round heated indoor‑outdoor pool, enjoy a sauna or steam bath, or relax on the large garden lawn.

In all these moments, staying hydrated with Cunfin Springs water keeps your experience comfortable and enjoyable.
