The Schäfer family
Genuine hospitality? That's what we stand for with our name! Admittedly, we may have stolen this phrase, but we live it with all our hearts. One of the Schäfers is always there, so that all guests are personally welcomed, looked after and bid farewell at the end. And that's a good feeling!
BergSpa
You may have noticed that we are a little different. Where others are loud, we are very quiet. Relaxation rooms where you can find real peace. Your heart expands and your thoughts wander. Characterized by openness and generosity, our spa area extends over two floors with a total of 1,600m². Diverse, cozy retreat areas, natural colors, lots of light and fantastic views of the Walser mountain peaks.
With our specially developed BergSpa fascia method - a combination of fascia treatments, healing herbs and expert hands - we show an effective way to a new body awareness.

Explore the most beautiful places in the valley with us by e-bike, on foot or with snowshoes, off the beaten tourist track.
Sustainability
The sensible and efficient use of resources and raw materials is our daily bread. Many small details, sensibly and sustainably solved, add up to the sum of our ecological footprint - and it is precisely this that is particularly important to us. Sometimes it's just little things, sometimes an investment is necessary, but it's worth it. ALWAYS!

Living & vacationing in harmony with nature
The Große Walsertal Biosphere Reserve is located in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg and extends in the middle of Vorarlberg in an easterly to north-easterly direction towards the mountainous center of the province. In 2000, the Große Walsertal was designated a model region by UNESCO as a "biosphere park" due to its particularly outstanding and diverse nature. Green grass mountains next to rugged limestone peaks - this is how diverse and varied the mountain world presents itself. Active relaxation, cultivated cultural landscapes and untouched areas.

Its secluded location at 700 meters provides the necessary distance from everyday life. Up here, surrounded by meadows and forests and a few scattered old farms, the clocks go slower. It's as if the good old days are hiding up here. You can forget the hustle and bustle and stress, they don't come up here. The Watzmann outside shows us how it's done - calmly reminding us of what's really important in life: Taking time for yourself and your loved ones. "The best times in life are the little moments when you feel that you are in the right place at the right time," is the Alpenhof motto.

At the 4-star superior hotel, you are always in the right place. This starts with the hut-style reception. Of course, the hotel has modern card keys, but there are still a few of the beautiful old key rings with the family crest hanging on the hooks. Tradition combined with modern comfort is how you could describe the style of the Alpenhof. This can also be seen in the Almbar, which has much of what is commonly understood by Bavarian coziness. The restaurant area is more elegant. Here you can enjoy the sumptuous breakfast buffet and the magnificent view outside. In the evening, there are various menus to choose from.

The comfort rooms are designed in a variety of ways, sometimes in a modern, sometimes in a classic country house style. The feel-good Sauna-Alm is really rustic, as the sauna area is reminiscent of cozy alpine huts and Stad'l. The infrared cabin made of Swiss stone pine provides gentle deep warmth, the steam bath is filled with wonderful brine and herbal mist and perhaps the best thing to do after a sauna session in the Hütt'n sauna with a view of the valley in winter is to rub yourself down with powder snow in the sheltered outdoor area. Afterwards, you can retreat to the relaxation rooms, which are designed like tunnels in a salt mine or old barns, where you can relax wonderfully. The adjoining wellness oasis offers an all-round pampering program. The various massages and treatments provide true wellness pleasure. In addition to classic massages, there are Far Eastern SPA massages, Ayurveda massages and special massages for expectant mothers. The cosmetics department uses the organic cosmetics line from Dr. Spiller, an effective skincare line from the region.

Next door in the indoor pool, you should definitely take a leisurely lap on your back and take a look at the hand-carved wooden ceiling. This ancient carpentry technique is no longer found very often. Small carvings on the pillars look very elegant - which is typical of the Alpenhof. Tradition meets modernity and rustic meets elegant. In the outdoor pool, hot meets cold, at least when it's winter and you can swim through the snow-covered landscape. The outdoor pool is heated to a pleasant 30°C all year round, as is the pleasantly warm 37°C whirlpool.

Afterwards, you can lie down in the sun pavilion, look out over the meadows and forests to the mountain peaks and relax. Here, unwinding becomes a tangible reality. And if you haven't had enough exercise while hiking, you're sure to find it in the fitness room with Techno-Gym equipment. Behind the Alpenhof is the Zapletal family. While Stefan Zapletal looks after the hotel with its 52 rooms, his wife Gabi, a trained chef, is in charge of the kitchen. But the most important thing for both of them is their staff. "We provide the frame, our employees paint the picture," says Stefan Zapletal, who is happy to have such a strong team. After all, guests should simply feel at home in this beautiful hotel in the midst of glorious nature.

Your 4-star superior hotel in the Bavarian Forest with a unique atmosphere and numerous opportunities for sophisticated vacation planning.

A historic rural building complex that has been transformed into a luxurious and refined location. Inaugurated in 2008, the hotel was renovated in collaboration with the designers of the Botturi architectural firm, using high-quality, prestigious materials and furnishings by the most renowned contemporary designers.

The restoration work highlights the beautiful Italian post-Renaissance style: the frescoed walls, the precious marble stones, the barrel vaults and the wooden beamed ceilings. The harmonious construction of red brick and white natural stone conveys an impression of balance and joy, while the modern design furnishings bring out the energy and vitality of the individual rooms, from the hotel bar to the conference rooms, from the entrance hall to the bedrooms.

In the wellness area you will find the saltwater pool with 30° C water temperature and a whirlpool corner; in the indoor garden the Jacuzzi whirlpool with 38° C; chromotherapy, Finnish sauna, aromatic steam bath, aromatic shower, ice fountain and a relaxation area with music, where you can really relax.

Of particular interest is our beauty offer of cosmetic treatments carried out by our 7 professional beauticians. A well-stocked library completes the recreation and relaxation program.

Consider a stay at Hotel Veronesi La Torre, which offers free round-trip airport transfers, a poolside bar and a terrace.
