Family has many dimensions for us. That’s because two generations of our family are committed to running a hotel family consisting of four establishments. Added to this are our long-serving employees, who are like family to us, two dogs and our animal flatmates at oberHof. In other words, we are family people by nature. Our element is togetherness. That’s why we understand hospitality first and foremost as togetherness.
On equal terms, warm-hearted and genuine. This spirit is what makes the Oberforsthof so homely. It inspires the hosts as well as all the other Höllwart People who greet you with a smile from every corner.
Host
“I grew up here with my siblings. We had a wonderful childhood with many kind-hearted caregivers and even more freedom to move around. That’s probably why I became an enthusiastic mountaineer who is deeply rooted in his homeland. Nothing is more beautiful to me than sharing this passion with others. It inspires me as a hotelier, ski instructor, mountain guide and as a person. I have so many ideas on this topic and I look forward to bringing them to life for you.”
Hotel manager
“The Oberforsthof is a project close to my heart. Although I was born in Gmunden, I have lived in St. Johann for ages and have found my home here. I am fascinated by this region, hotel management and the daily encounters with people from all over the world. Life is more colourful here than anywhere else.”
Our family runs a total of four four-star superior hotels in Alpendorf in St. Johann. All four have their own unique character. As our guest, you are warmly invited to feel at home in our ‘United Kingdoms’ and to move freely between the hotels. Take a look around and take advantage of the different offers. Just a few steps away and your holiday experience will be four times as wonderful.
