The Property — Neue Post
The Neue Post is a straightforward, family-run 3-star in Proveis, a tiny village above the Val di Non. The lobby is modest, with dark wood and a reception desk that doubles as the bar; it smells of woodsmoke and coffee. Its USP is direct access to the Skigebiet Proveis lifts in winter and hiking trails in summer, plus a decent restaurant serving South Tyrolean staples. Best suited for walkers, cyclists, and quiet couples who want a no-frills base in the mountains, not a spa or design hotel.
Chronicles of Proveis - Proves
Proveis – Proves was settled by German-speaking farmers in the 13th century under the Prince-Bishopric of Trent. It remained a rural outpost, part of the Austrian Empire until 1919, when it was ceded to Italy. The church of San Martino dates from the 14th century, with a Baroque renovation. Today, the village preserves its Walser heritage and a quiet, agricultural identity, increasingly shaded by summer tourism from the nearby Mendel Pass.
Best Time to Visit
Full Proveis - Proves guide →Best months
June and September are ideal: warm, sunny, with long daylight hours for hiking and wildflowers, but before peak August crowds fill the valley.
Peak / festival surge
July–August is peak, driven by school holidays and the apple-blossom season in the Val di Non. Hotel prices at the Neue Post typically rise 20–30% in August. No major festival in Proveis, but the 'Festa degli Alberi' in late July draws locals from the valley.
Budget shoulder season
Late May and early October offer discounts of 10–15% at the hotel, milder still weather, and far fewer walkers on the trails. Snow can linger at altitude in May, but the valley is green.
Weather & packing
Proveis sits at 1,420m, so even in late June you can get a sudden thunderstorm; pack a waterproof jacket and a fleece. A sun hat and sunscreen are essential for the intense UV at altitude.
Live City Briefing — Proveis - Proves
- The Proveis chairlift upgrade to a current 6-seater is projected for late 2025 – check whether it's operational by June 2026 for summer hiking access to the lazy slopes.
- A new asphalt cycle path linking Proveis to Proves-sotto and the Mendel Pass cycle route opened in spring 2025, improving road safety for cyclists on the narrow road.
- The village's sole grocery shop may have reduced opening hours on Sundays – stock up on supplies in Cermes or Lana before you arrive.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Neue Post, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (third floor) for the best chance of a quieter stay. As the hotel has a lift serving all three floors, you can easily access your room without any hassle. The top floor is likely to be less prone to noise from the street, especially given the hotel's location on a relatively quiet road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the lift, such as those on the lower floors, as you may hear the lift's frequent operation throughout the day. Also, be aware that the hotel's standard rooms have door widths under 75 cm, which may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address in a rural area means there aren't any spectacular views to request. However, rooms on the top floor may offer a slightly better view of the surrounding countryside.
Quietest floors
The top floor (third floor) is likely the quietest, given its distance from the street and potential noise sources.

Top Attractions in Proveis - Proves
💡 Check the door for opening times — often unlocked in summer mornings. The cemetery behind has good views down the valley.
💡 The 15-minute walk up from the main road is worth it — the chapel sits on a small hill with picnic benches and a view over the entire village.
💡 Take the eastern branch first to avoid the steepest section. No shade in the open fields, so bring water and a hat in midsummer.
💡 Best visited at sunset for the light hitting the Dolomites. It's a 25-minute uphill walk from the church — sturdy shoes help on the gravel path.
💡 Entry is €2 and only open Saturday afternoons or by arrangement. Call the tourist office the day before to confirm. The wooden butter churn and the hand-painted wedding chest are the highlights.
