Meet the Piris and our family-run hotels in South Tyrol
A first-class family-run hotel lives from the genuine enthusiasm of its hosts. With us, you step into a vibrant holiday world made up of the traditional Jagdhof and stylish Piris NEA | Nature Escapes: the Piris Places. Here, our love of the South Tyrolean mountains meets a sharp instinct for modern lifestyle. We’re five distinct personalities who reinvent your time in Val Venosta every single day.
The heroes behind Piris Places:
the team
The naked truth is this: five Pirhofers alone can’t move mountains. The seamless magic of the Piris Places depends on a close-knit special unit behind the scenes. Our brilliant Piris People are the true engine of our success. They have our backs, fill every corner with life, and make sure a clever idea becomes a perfect holiday experience for you, every single day. This team is the heart of our properties. And we love them.
The five pillars of the Piris world
Martin channels his enthusiasm for Val Venosta geography into highly organised form. His areas of expertise include pinpointing hidden single trails and spontaneously supplying caffeine at the poolside. He has the rare ability to embody the calm of the mountains and the energy of a first-class host at exactly the same time.
Ruth steers the visual identity of our properties. She defines one millimetre as the only acceptable tolerance for cushion placement and room aesthetics. The moment visual harmony at Jagdhof, NEA and NEA | Club House is complete, she picks up the pace – either running through Val Venosta or striking with precision on the fairway.
Hannes moves effortlessly between rough terrain and the finest glassware. He knows the topography of every jump on the trails and combines it seamlessly with the deeper secrets of local wine cellars. In no time at all, he shifts your pulse onto holiday frequency.
Julian manages the interface between your wishes and reality. He runs reception with easy-going charm, coordinates strategic and operational management, and develops the events of the future behind the scenes. His distinctly dry humour is an essential lubricant in the daily machinery of hotel life.
Anna monitors the changing states of your wellbeing. She leads the wellness department and knows exactly how to return exhausted muscles to normal after demanding mountain tours. After closing time, she and Julian devote themselves to training the next Piri generation.
