SPRING AWAKENING
Spring - Noun [countable or uncountable]
Season between winter and summer; the time
when nature awakens
It takes a long time for the sun to dispel the last traces of winter.
But once all the snow has melted, spring is in a real hurry here
in the mountains: crocuses sprout from the ground, cowslips
start to blossom, and the landscape, which was just hidden
under a white blanket, is painted in the lushest shades of green.
Berwang’s plateau is not only known for its picturesque beauty
and countless hours of warming sunshine, it is also home to the
richest flora of the Western Alps. A real delight on any spring
hike is the view of the flowering alpine pastures, where true
botanical treasures grow. Alpine roses, orchids, valerian, or wild
thyme are not uncommon along the way. The unspoilt region is
perfect for exploring nature with open eyes and letting it take
effect on you. The motto?
Enjoy the little things to
appreciate the great
ones.
A stay at this time of year is also a true fountain of youth for
the soul: you can forget the dreary grey of winter in the city,
breathe in the crystal-clear air of the mountains, and smell, feel,
and admire nature. It is as if nature was celebrating a rebirth,
with all the strength it can muster. And we humans can feel this.
That’s why it’s called "spring fever".
In our Singer's SPA it’s easy to enjoy nature "up close and
personal": During the Tyrolean Nature Experience with local
herbs, exclusive treatments of the Rosalpina & Alpine Herbs line
from Piroche Cosmétiques invite you to relax extensively. Alpine
medicinal plants and herbs as well as crystal-clear mountain
spring water form the basis of this luxurious cosmetic line. The
alpine roses’ phyto-stem cells are an innovative development
for effective and 100% natural age protection. Alpine roses
help the skin to protect itself from environmental influences,
making it more resistant to climatic changes such as wind, cold,
or even heat.
Our experienced staff around SPA
manager Raphaela Ruder will be
happy to advise you individually
and personally!

Singer‘s News AUTUMN LIGHT Autumn - Noun [countable or uncountable] Season between summer and winter; time of harvest and of colourful leaves on deciduous trees The days are slowly getting shorter, the colourful leaves are falling from the trees, and the mountain peaks are glowing in the warm autumn sun. Autumn carries a special magic. Nature’s golden glow fills every heart with joy and draws everyone into an autumnal spell. Mountaineers and hikers can explore the mountain world at ideal temperatures during the months of September and October, as the sun's rays illuminate the landscape with less intensity than in high summer. Relax in harmony with nature and soak up the sun and warmth before winter envelops all valleys and peaks. Colloquially, perfect autumn weather over a longer period of time and with blue skies, lots of sunshine, and pleasant temperatures is also called "Indian summer". This fifth season can be spent particularly well at our Hotel Singer. Countless signposted hiking trails start right outside the hotel door. 8

We asked her
"What distinguishes Hotel Singer of 1971 from Hotel
Singer of 2021?"
and Gerti Singer answered:
could sometimes be quite far apart. I still remember when the
hotel consisted of two separate buildings, with a flat roof and
a connecting hotel hall on the ground floor. In the following
years, we did a lot of renovations and made the hotel what
it was when our son Florian and his wife Christina took over
the hotel. The current time reminds me very much of my early
days: almost always a construction site, constant changes and
improvements, and an incredible upward thrust. When I look at
today’s new rooms, I sometimes think to myself: "Is this really our
hotel?" I'm more of a conservatist and I sometimes tell Florian
that "I miss the flowers in the curtains" – but when everything is
finished, I (usually) really like it and I'm proud of what our hotel
has become.
One difference to the past is certainly that guests
