BED AND BACKYARD
Welcome to your holiday – right in the heart of Mals, in the Lago di Resia holiday region of Upper Vinschgau.
For 50 years, this building has stood here – once a military barracks, clearly visible, yet hidden behind bars and walls for decades. Where order and discipline once ruled, the FinKa now opens its doors: an open-minded place shaped by history, hospitality and flair.
SURROUNDINGS AND LOCATION
Right in the middle – and close to everything.
The FinKa is centrally located in Mals, directly on the historic Via Claudia Augusta and just 100 m from the village centre. The nearby train station takes you to Merano, Bolzano, Austria or Switzerland – free of charge with the Südtirol Guest Pass.
In summer, the FinKa is the perfect basecamp for cyclists and long-distance hikers. The legendary Stelvio Passstarts almost at our doorstep, along with countless trails and bike routes through orchards, meadows and mountain lakes.
In winter, the ski resorts of Watles, Schöneben and Haideralm, as well as the cross-country centre in Schlinig, are only a few minutes away. Ski tourers will also find ideal routes in the surrounding area.
And for those who love to stroll: the geometric artwork by Esther Stocker welcomes you at the lift tower – a modern landmark in the heart of the Vinschgau Valley.

Every detail handpicked. With space for everything that matters. At the FinKa, nothing is off the shelf – every corner is carefully curated. Vintage charm meets simplicity, history meets ease.
The heart of it all is the Spaccioon the first floor: dining room, living room, meeting place. Buzzing with life – from the first coffee to shared dinners.
In the Salone, a small library invites you to browse. In the garden, guests chat, relax or just enjoy the day. For kids, there’s sand, water and ride-on toys – adventure awaits.

Old walls, fresh thinking, open landscapes: Focused days, relaxed evenings – on foot, by bike or sharing stories in the garden over a glass of wine. We provide space, accommodation and meals – from single-day formats to full-week stays. Lunch and dinner included. On-site planning and support? Of course. Co-working. Team-building. Nature. FinKa Basecamp – be part of it.
“Very inspiring. A great starting point for hikes, mountain tours and smaller seminars, with good co-working potential. Unexpectedly hip for a rural tourism region.” — Christoph Kohl, urban planner & architect
FINKA – INTERNAL NEWS SERVICE
Finanzertimes – our blog and in-house news wire.
Once a place where smuggling and tax sins were reported, today we share stories from the FinKa. What used to be top secret is now public: tales, events, and memorable moments from our house. Sometimes funny, sometimes curious – from pizza to poetry, from encounters to eccentricities, and everything in between.
