5 hoteliers. One shared vision.

Five hosts. One goal. The concept: to offer guests an unmistakable holiday experience. Twenty-five years ago, five hoteliers decided to join forces to share the Mediterranean lifestyle of the Alps with their guests.

When you stay at one of our hotels today, you can enjoy the amenities and benefits of all five properties thanks to our Hotel Hopping formula. At no extra charge. This is wellness in a class of its own.

Then and now: The Jagdhof

The Piri family chooses a life in hospitality

Today: Jagdhof. Rosl & Toni, parents of Martin Piri, transformed a small private guesthouse into the "Garni Pirhofer." In 1989, Martin and his wife Ruth took over. At the time, they were still an apple farmer and a hairdresser - but the decision to enter the hotel industry would shape their lives forever. Constant renovations and expansions followed, yet the warm, familial atmosphere has always remained. Today, the Piris - now in the next generation with sons Hannes and Julian and their families - have made their hotel a "holiday home" where guests and employees alike are part of one big family.

Then and now: The Lindenhof

Mr. Nischler makes a quick decision

Today: Lindenhof. Thanks to senior Werner Nischler, what was originally planned as a family home in 1972 quickly became the "Pension Lindenhof." In 1996, his son Joachim Nischler took over - at just 26 years old, full of commitment and passion for hospitality. The guesthouse became a hotel in 2004 and a resort in 2018. Today, representing the third generation, Emma Nischler creates guest experiences that touch body, mind, and soul in equal measure.

Then and now: The Preidlhof

Preidlhof becomes an adults-only paradise with the Ladurner family

Today: Preidlhof. In 1966, Mr. and Mrs. Ladurner Senior founded the "Pension Preidlhof." Years later, their son Klaus Ladurner took over the property. The 5-star resort evolved into an exclusive holiday home for adults only. The Ladurner family offers their guests first-class moments of indulgence, blending luxury, wellness, and romance. Today, daughters Elisa and Maria are also actively involved, passionately continuing the family tradition.

Then and now: The Feldhof

The Perathoner family creates a holiday home for everyone

Today: Feldhof. In 1984, the "Pension Feldhof" was founded by Mrs. Pirhofer Senior as a gift. Bit by bit, it evolved into today's Feldhof - family-run by the Perathoner family. With unique charm and a personal atmosphere, the hotel caters to guests of all ages, both young and old. What counts here are the joy, the smiles, and the unforgettable holiday memories created every day.

Then and now: The Alpiana

Hotel Völlanerhof becomes a wellness paradise

Today: Alpiana. In 1976, Rosa and Josef Margesin founded the small "Hotel Völlanerhof." In the 1970s, Johann and Monika took over the hotel. They recognized the wellness trend early on and planned one of the first spa facilities in the region. In 2014, sons Johannes and Christian completely renovated the hotel - and today's Alpiana was born. Their focus remains on heartfelt hospitality, ensuring that families, couples, and solo travelers can truly enjoy the most beautiful time of the year: their holiday together.
