The Property — Perkmannhof
The Perkmannhof is a working farm in the Val Martello, low on frills and high on Alpine calm. The lobby smells of wood and hay, with unfussy furniture and farmhouse plates. It suits walkers and cyclists who want a quiet, family-run base for the Stelvio National Park, not a spa resort with bells and whistles.
Chronicles of Martell
Martell's valley floor was carved by glaciers; its first farmers settled in the 13th century, carving terraces for rye and potatoes. The 19th century brought hydro power for early dairies and sawmills, and in the 1970s the valley embraced ski tourism. Today it's a quiet, largely German-speaking enclave of dairy farming, forestry and small-scale tourism, with a fierce pride in its speck and butter.
Best Time to Visit
Full Martell guide →Best months
June and September — stable weather, wildflowers in bloom, fewer cars on the mountain passes. July is also fine but busier.
Peak / festival surge
August is peak: school holidays fill the valley, hotel prices rise 20-30% over shoulder months. The Martell Cattle Drive (late August) draws crowds to see the herds come down from high pastures.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early October offer lower rates, mild hiking weather and the autumn larch colour change. Rain risk increases, but crowds vanish.
Weather & packing
Valleys here trap cloud, so mornings can be grey and clear by noon. Pack a waterproof shell with a hood, even if the forecast is blue sky.

Top Attractions in Martell
💡 Pick up the map from the tourist office in Gand; the 'Circular Route 1' is flat and takes about 90 minutes at a strolling pace.
💡 Start early morning for the best light on the peaks and fewer crowds. Wear sturdy shoes after rain.
💡 The key hangs on a hook just inside the porch if the door is locked; feel free to go in quietly. No photography during services.
💡 Pack a picnic – the grassy bank on the east side is a quiet spot for lunch. No shade, so go in the morning.
💡 Go late afternoon when the sun lights the gorge walls; the bridge can be slippery after rain — wear grippy shoes.
💡 Check the notice board for occasional free guided tours in German or Italian during summer weekends.
💡 Access via a short unmarked path opposite the car park at Laces bridge. Water temp rarely exceeds 14°C even in August — a quick dip only.
