One thing is certain, in hot temperatures refreshment is needed. Halle Berry and Daniel Craig show how women and men casually rise from the floods. But what to do if the sea is missing as a frame? No problem! They do exist, the coolest pools and natural swimming ponds for the next cinematic appearance in the cool water in the midst of magnificent mountain scenery. For all mermaids and mermen, here is our picture show of the most beautiful bathing experiences in the Alps.

There are places that immediately captivate you and won’t let you go. One of these places of power is the 5-star hotel in South Tyrol, the Cyprianerhof, in the small, tranquil Dolomite village of Tiers. The kingdom of King Laurin, the legendary Catinaccio, rises impressively in front of the luxurious 5-star hotel in the South Tyrolean Dolomites. This sight delights the eyes and touches the soul – especially in the evening, when the setting sun bathes the rock colossus in bright red hues. In front of this magnificent backdrop of gentle alpine meadows, quiet forests and bizarre rock formations, only the here and now counts. And the very personal holiday happiness in harmony with nature. www.cyprianerhof.com
