The Property — Paradies
Paradies is a straightforward 3-star family-run hotel at 1,100 metres in the Dolomites. The lobby smells of wood polish and alpine herbs; past the small reception desk you see a stone fireplace, polished parquet floors and large windows framing the Rosengarten massif. It suits hikers and couples who want a quiet base with a pool, sauna and hearty South Tyrolean cooking — not flashy, but solid and well-kept.
Chronicles of Tiers
Tiers (Tires in German) was first mentioned in 1288 as a farming settlement along the old salt route through the Dolomites. Its stone houses and narrow streets grew slowly around the church of St. George, built in 1455. Post-war tourism brought modern hotels, but the village kept its rural feel because building height and style are tightly regulated by the UNESCO-protected Dolomites buffer zone. Today it’s a quiet gateway onto the Seiser Alm and Rosengarten trails, still rooted in cattle farming and seasonal hospitality.
Best Time to Visit
Full Tiers guide →Best months
June and September: stable weather for hiking (lows 10°C, highs 22°C), wildflowers in bloom, cable car queues are short. July has long days but afternoon thunderstorms are common.
Peak / festival surge
August is the peak: whole Italy on holiday, schools closed, trails near Seiser Alm get crowded. Hotel prices at Paradies typically rise 20–30% over July. Two main events: the Tierser Alpstock festival (mid-August) and the 'Dolomites Run' race.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and late May offer the best discounts — prices drop 15–25%, weather remains good for high-altitude walks, and the larch forests turn gold in autumn.
Weather & packing
Tiers gets quick afternoon thunderstorms even in July — always carry a waterproof shell in your daypack. The temperature can drop 10°C after sunset, so a fleece or light down jacket is non-negotiable.
Live City Briefing — Tiers
- The new Tiers–Seiser Alm cable car (opened 2023) has cut the hike to the alpine meadow by 1.5 hours, but it now requires an online booking in summer to manage queues.
- The village centre's main road is being resurfaced from May to October 2026, causing some daytime noise near the church — ask for a room facing the mountains.
- Tiers's weekly farmers' market (Saturday mornings at the village square) has added a local cheese stand this year — try the fresh Tierser Bergkäse.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Paradies, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (European first floor, one above ground) or second floor, facing the garden or rear of the building, away from St.-Georg-Straße. These floors offer quieter conditions and, in some rooms, a view of the mountains rather than the street.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms facing the street (St.-Georg-Straße / Via San Giorgio), as the road carries some local traffic and footfall, especially during summer and winter seasons. Also avoid rooms next to the lift or staircase due to door noise.
Best views
Rooms at the rear or on higher floors look over the Tierser Tal valley and towards the Rosengarten/Latemar mountains—ask specifically for a 'mountain view' room. Rooms facing the street see only the road and opposite buildings.
Quietest floors
First and second floors—these are above street level and away from the ground-floor reception and restaurant areas if applicable. The third floor (top, if no lift) may also be quiet but requires stairs.
🔊 Noise notes
St.-Georg-Straße is a local road, not a main highway, but can be busy with cars and motorbikes in good weather. The hotel is in a quiet village (Tiers), so night noise is limited but not zero. Lift, staircase, and housekeeping carts can be heard in adjacent rooms.
Insider tips
1. If you arrive by car, park at the rear of the hotel (usually quieter and more secure) and check in via the back entrance—this puts you closer to garden-side rooms. 2. Request a room with a balcony if available—those on the first or second floor offer direct mountain views without street interference.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A standing espresso at a bar costs about €1.00–1.20; avoid table service which adds a surcharge.
A slice of pizza or a panino from a bakery or deli counter is around €5–7; supermarket sandwiches are cheaper at €3–4.
A main course at a trattoria or pizzeria for dinner is about €10–15; a full meal with drink can be €15–20.
Look for bakeries and kebab shops in the main streets of Tiers or the nearby town of Kastelruth for cheap eats; there's no dedicated street food market.
Common budget supermarket chains include Eurospin, Lidl, and Despar; they are found in Kastelruth or Blumau, a short drive or bus ride away.
Affordable clothing shopping is limited in Tiers itself; head to Bolzano's main streets or the MMM centro commerciale for high-street brands and seasonal sales.
The cheapest way to get around is the South Tyrol Mobil Card (day pass around €12–15, covers all public transport, including trains and buses, in the region). To reach Tiers from Bolzano airport, take bus 170 to Kastelruth then change to the 176 bus; a single ticket costs about €5.
Cook meals using groceries from Lidl or Eurospin instead of eating out every night. Buy a regional transport pass for multi-day trips rather than single tickets. Fill a reusable water bottle from public fountains (trinkwasser) which is safe and free.
