Getting Married in South Tyrol – Your Lakefront Wedding Venue
By the water. In the mountains.
What matters most is being together.
When two people say “I do” to each other, everything should be perfect – the moment, the mood, the place.
And this is exactly the place we offer: Nestled in the South Tyrolean mountains, surrounded by meadows, peaks, and forests, two venues await, each perfectly suited for your wedding in South Tyrol. In summer, our private lake sparkles around the Thara SeeLounge in Walburga, Ahrntal valley – perfect for lakeside weddings with an aperitif in the garden and lively celebrations beneath the open sky.
In winter, however, the Stochas in Steinhaus, Ahrntal valley, transforms into a modern, atmospheric wedding venue with alpine flair – perfect for unforgettable celebrations in the snow. Whether summer or winter, lake or mountains – You say “I do” and we will take care of everything else. With heart, expertise, and an all-round service that caters to every wish. Whether completely exclusive with helicopter flight, luxury hotel and sports car or quite simple in a small group – we create the setting that suits you.
Summer by the lake or winter in the mountains: both feel just right, only in different ways.
Choose what suits you and your dream wedding.
A private lake, surrounded by meadows and mountains – the Thara SeeLounge in Walburga in the Ahrntal valley is a place that instantly enchants you.
Here, you can celebrate your wedding by a private lake in South Tyrol in complete exclusivity, on around one hectare of private grounds. Just the two of you, your guests, and this unique place. From the very first moment, you can feel that everything is just right – the scent of summer, the sparkle of the water, the feeling of freedom.
A place where an “I do” can turn into a whole story.
Say “I do” by the lakeside, on the terrace, or on the jetty — with us, not only the celebration but also your ceremony by the private lake becomes an unforgettable outdoor experience. Same-sex weddings are, of course, welcome here – especially magical on the jetty with a view over the water.
During the aperitif in the garden, enjoy delicate bites from the buffet and flying food, served right by the water and accompanied by music and the summer air. In the evening, enjoy a multi-course menu – stylish, regional, and inspired by the Mediterranean. Whether fish, meat or vegetarian – we will design the menu according to your wishes.
And if the sun takes a break: our covered terrace ensures that the celebrations continue regardless of the weather.
When the sun sinks behind the mountains and strings of lights illuminate the garden, the air fills with music and good cheer. Dance under the stars, laugh, savour every moment … and just be happy.
With space for up to 200 guests, our own children’s playground and ample space for emotional moments, the Thara SeeLounge offers everything you need for an unforgettable wedding celebration. Until 2 a.m., you can laugh, dance, and celebrate – surrounded by water, nature, and your favourite people. And as pets are often part of the family, they are warmly welcome here.
Snowflakes dance outside, while inside, the guests are dancing.
The Stochas in Steinhaus, directly in the Skiworld Ahrntal ski area, combines alpine clarity with modern architecture – wood, glass, and a feeling of warmth. Here you can celebrate your winter wedding in South Tyrol with style and character: festive yet relaxed, elegant yet warm.
A venue where contemporary design blends with the mountain scenery – and your vows glow in the warm light.
Whether you choose an outdoor ceremony beneath the open sky or a cosy indoor setting, at the Stochas your “I do” becomes a truly memorable experience.
During the aperitif, we serve fine delicacies and flying food. In the evening, you and your guests will enjoy a multi-course, served menu – made with local ingredients, a Mediterranean touch, and great attention to detail.
From the elegant dinner until the exuberant party – here every moment is carefully staged , without ever feeling formal.
Snow falls outside while inside, laughter, dining, and dancing fill the air. The Stochas has a special energy – modern and vibrant, yet familiar and cosy at the same time. Celebrate here until 2 a.m., surrounded by music, laughter, and your loved ones. Children play on the playground, guests raise their glasses, and candles flicker on the tables.
Everything runs smoothly, everything falls into place – leaving you free to enjoy the celebration fully. We take care of planning, the schedule, and special requests: from helicopter arrivals or carriage and sleigh rides, to styling, décor, and shuttle service for your guests.
