South Tyrol - that's the place where Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Where enjoyment and culinary delights are writ large, where the heart is in the right place and where people are simply a little happier - and it is precisely this way of life that Luis Hillebrand, a true South Tyrolean, wants to bring to life - in the middle of the Allgäu. The more than 7,000 square meter garden with two natural lakes, Merano promenade, Kaltern hill and new palm tree infinity pool still form the heart of the complex today.

There is an alpine part with huts made of rustic shingles and an original Ultner herb garden and a Mediterranean part with palm trees and an infinity pool. This is where the two hearts of the South Tyroleans meet, combining Alpine lightness with Mediterranean flair and reflecting the multifaceted landscape of South Tyrol.

The more than 2,500 m² wellness area offers an indoor pool, a whirlpool, a bio sauna, a Finnish sauna, a South Tyrolean organic herbal sauna, a steam bath, forest lounges and a new Merano palm relaxation room.

In the restaurant, Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Delicious dishes with natural ingredients, the herbs come from the hotel's own garden. High-quality products from small producers from our homeland - that's all you need, emphasizes Luis Hillebrand. South Tyrolean speck, fresh Alpine cheese, original Schlutzkrapfen or a racy glass of wine from the Merano winery. 100% South Tyrolean feeling - in the middle of the Allgäu.

The family-run 5-star Göbel's Schlosshotel "Prinz von Hessen" with its extraordinary ambience in the middle of the natural paradise of Waldhessen leaves nothing to be desired. Here you can enjoy pure PLEASURE far away from the hustle and bustle and treat yourself to a BREAK from everyday life.

The central location of the hotel allows a variety of attractive activities in the beautiful surrounding area - whether hiking, cycling or excursions in the surrounding area, in Friedewald you can experience your own HOLIDAY DREAM according to your taste. The castle hotel is a successful MIX of historical buildings and modern architecture in front of the charming CULISSE of a moated castle ruin. In a royal atmosphere, you can treat yourself to a very special pampering program, experience upscale HOSPITALITY and immerse yourself in a world of BEAUTY and BEAUTY.

The 88 lovingly designed rooms, including 19 spacious suites, offer a high level of comfort. There is a special feel-good atmosphere with warm and bright colors and individual furnishings that radiate COMFORT and are very inviting.

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.

Griaß di
Even Aunt Lisl knew that in addition to mountains and well-fluffed pillows, you also need a good meal, a cozy place to relax, an open heart and good food for a really good gut feeling. That was over 70 years ago.
Since then, we as a family have gone many new ways to preserve this special feeling of home and to reinterpret vacation for you. Our wellness and hiking hotel Gassner **** superior has grown out of the small forest guesthouse - and the pretty Gassner tree house too.

As a genuine family business, we are the perfect complement, because we could hardly be more different. Together with our wonderful Gassner Seilschaft, we bring a lot of warmth, charm and life into the hotel. That's probably why so much of our work is so individual and varied.
Come and join us and be surprised by the wonderful way in which our contrasts attract you. Mia gfrein ins auf di!

We would like to accompany you on snowshoe and winter hikes to the idyllic snow-covered places of the Hohe Tauern National Park and show you personally how renewing it can be to walk at eye level with nature.
