True and real
Holidays in South Tyrol Pustertal Valley– Welcome at Hotel Falken in Pfalzen!We are South Tyrol. Genuine. Authentic. Deeply rooted.
For us, South Tyrol is more than just a home. It is a way of life. It is the mountains, nature, the people and the values that shape us. Quality, tradition and down-to-earthness are just as much a part of this as an openness to new things, a zest for life and the joy of sharing special moments together.
At the Hotel Falken, we want to bring this very essence of South Tyrol to life. With warm, genuine hospitality, sincere friendliness and a keen sense of what really matters. The tried and tested can remain, whilst new ideas are welcome. Simplicity meets style, tradition meets a breath of fresh air, and tranquillity meets new inspiration.
Amidst the beautiful natural surroundings of Pfalzen, you’ll find space to breathe deeply, unwind and enjoy yourself. A place where you can feel free and welcome.
Because we’re not just at home in South Tyrol.
We are South Tyrol. And we’d like to share a little piece of it with you.
Family is the home ot the heart
Your hosts Martin, Sabine, Maria, Teresa and Clara Gschliesser, and also Cecilia Irschara
Martin Gschliesser
owner
I’m Martin – the boss here, let's say. But I’m also in charge of everything and everyone. Having switched careers, I’ve learnt a lot, and whether it’s reception, service, caretaking or being a dad, there’s always something going on here… In my spare time, I like to go into the woods to pick mushrooms and go on cycling or hiking trips with my wife, Sabine.
Sabine Irschara
owner
I’m Sabine. As a full-time mum to our three girls, Maria, Teresa and Clara, juggling family and work is a lovely challenge. But I do manage to make time for myself; I enjoy doing yoga and on nice mountain walks with my husband Martin.
Cecilia Irschara
senior owner
I’m Zilli, or Cecilia. People call me the heart and soul of the house. I’m Sabine’s mum and I’m delighted to have three granddaughters. I look after the flowers in the house and the garden, and I help out wherever I’m needed.
Maria
daughter
I’m Maria, the eldest of the Falken girls. I’m now almost 18 years old and I’m in Year 4 at the language grammar school in Bruneck, where I’m learning Russian and Latin. I enjoy reading, meeting up with friends and skiing. Sometimes I have to give my mum a hand with the catering. I’d like to study law when I’m older.
Teresa
daughter
My name is Teresa, I’m now 14 years old and I’m in the first year at the hotel management college in Bruneck. What I enjoy most is cooking, but doing service is pretty cool too. I like swimming and I look after our cats, Mimi and Nacho.
Clara
daughter
I’m Clara, the youngest of the girls in the house. My birthday’s in the summer and I’m already 11. I’m in Year 7 at the secondary school in Bruneck. I don’t really like maths, but I do enjoy PE and music. In winter, I often go skiing. I’ve got lots of friends and I meet up with them at Issinger Weiher in the summer to go for a swim.
