Vitalpinum Assling: A Garden That Makes the Power of the Alps Tangible

The scent of Swiss pine and herbs hangs in the warm air, and the view opens onto the majestic mountain backdrop of East Tyrol. At Vitalpinum in Assling, a wellness and experience garden invites visitors to encounter the plant life of East Tyrol's mountains up close.

Between flower beds and quiet corners, a landscape unfolds that rewards slow exploration. At the Zirbe power spot, a small waterfall rushes by, and in the Thyme Hut, the scent of alpine herbs fills the air. Visitors walk barefoot along the plant-lined barefoot trail and explore sensory stations like the marmot massage bench.

Alpine Botany, Passed Down Through Generations

Many of the plants growing here have shaped generations of alpine knowledge about natural care and wellbeing. Swiss pine, mountain pine, St. John's wort and marigold are among the plants whose scent and effect have long been valued in the mountains.

Craft From the Tyrolean Mountains: The Unterweger Brothers' Oil Distillery

At the heart of the garden stands the Unterweger brothers' oil distillery. Here, visitors see how essential oils are made from Swiss pine, mountain pine and alpine herbs. Natural knowledge, regional botany and traditional craft come together in a quiet journey through the scents of the Alps.
