Alpengasthof Stiegernigg

The nature around the hotel was magical, with animals everywhere, and the biotop was lovely. Service was very friendly, and I couldn't find anything else to criticize. I travel around the world and stay in at least five Austrian hotels each year, and this was one of the best hotels I've visited anywhere. The only thing I missed, compared with other Austrian hotels, was fresh orange juice at breakfast. Thank you from the Czech Republic for such a perfect stay. I'll definitely return.

I was amazed by this hotel. The region is cool, and they even provide a paper hiking map with profiles, distances, and really useful route descriptions. There are also lots of free guided hikes, including a mountain summit trip, yin yoga, and forest yoga. There's so much included that I'm sure I've missed some benefits. The summer card gives free lift access and other discounts. The hotel is run sustainably, has free parking, books and board games to borrow, and natural cosmetics and scents in each bathroom. The rooms also have large wardrobes in the ski room, useful for hiking shoes in summer. The building has been renovated, with a modern, cozy restaurant and a small in-house distillery. Drink prices are reasonable, the staff and owner are very nice, and the sauna is available whenever you want except Wednesday. There are free meditations every Wednesday too. The setting is quiet and beautiful. I loved the outdoor gym, the wooden yoga or meditation platform high in the forest, and the natural pool with a view. There are sheep, goats, cats, and rabbits around as well. Half board is worth it: dinner is generous, with four tasty homemade courses. They offer single rooms, which is great, and I thought the value was excellent. So many thoughtful details. A stunning experience, and you can feel how much heart and passion goes into it.

Everything else was perfect, but Google navigation sent me along the wrong route and my car got stuck in the snow. I called Maria, who drove over and helped push it out. Vielen Danke und große Lob zu Maria und ihren Hotel.

The views of the mountains are breathtaking, and the food was delicious, just the thing before another day of adventures. It's a lovely family-owned hotel with really friendly, helpful people. I'd happily recommend it and will definitely come back.
