Andreas Hofer, rich alpine soils and mountain forests
South Tyrol pearls and numerous excursions

St. Leonhard is the home of the Tyrolean freedom fighter Andreas Hofer. The former innkeeper of the inn “Am Sand” organised the dispatch of freight over the Jaufenpass to the north. A museum offers a reminder of probably the most famous resident of the Passeiertal. Another contemporary witness of centuries past, the Jaufenburg over St. Leonhard, is found close to the Hotel Jägerhof.
Excursion destinations include the nearby spa town of Meran, the state capital of Bozen, Sterzing and the former Episcopal city of Brixen. Those who want to explore further afield can talk to the Augscheller family to obtain valuable tips for Venice, the Gardasee (Lake Garda), Innsbruck and nearby Switzerland. A holiday experience without limits.

Wellness for you...

• The Hay Pannier Oven – An Alpine Tradition
  The goal of the hay pannier oven is not merely therapeutic. Rather, it is intended to achieve a combination of well-being, communication, and physical regeneration. The treatment focuses on the application of mild herbal vapors to the region of the back and shoulders. Further, the heated seat results in a slight overheating of the pelvic area.
• The Kneipp Treading Basin 
  The Kneipp unit is intended to promote your health as well as stimulate the senses and various bodily functions (including the circulation, respiration, the nerves, and the metabolism.)
  Effects: The body's defenses are toughened up, and high blood pressure is regulated.
• Herbal Steam Bath 
  This herbal steam bath stimulate perspiration and makes the skin soft and supple. The body rids itself of waste products while the respiratory system is regenerated. The moderate temperature of approx. 47 ºC (118 °F) is pleasant and does not overburden the circulatory system.
• Finnish Sauna
  Going to the sauna is a philosophy of life. At temperatures of approx. 90 °C (194 °F,) the circulatory system is activated and the body rids itself of day-to-day waste products via the skin.
• Freshwater Massage Whirlpool
• This is just the bath to relax and regenerate after an active day of heavy vacationing! The warm water is pleasant and relaxing. The intensity of the water jets can be adjusted to taste. Optimal hygiene, since every guest has his "own" water.

... and did you know that the water you’re bathing in is the same drinking water which bubbles out of our hotel’s very own Jägerhof natural spring?
