From nature, from people, from Sonnhof Alpendorf. Because here everything revolves around sweet idleness. The "Adults preferred" hotel offers its guests namely the ideal conditions for an inspiring and relaxing stay.

Unlimited relaxation: yoga and meditation
The art of doing nothing is celebrated daily at Sonnhof. Professional trainers guide you through yoga flows and meditations. If you want to do your sun salutations away from the class, it's best to use the brand-new and fantastically beautiful studio. It beckons with a view of the mountains. All kinds of yoga equipment are, of course, available to borrow – the rooms are equipped with it as well, so you can enjoy your asanas in absolute privacy. Traditionally, the three-day yoga retreat "Immu Vital" with a focus on nutrition will take place again in November.

Hiking and biking for everyone
Let's get active (if you're in the mood). The biking and hiking offers at Sonnhof are quite diverse. Mountaineers will feel just as comfortable as those who prefer to take a leisurely tour. Conveniently, the right equipment is also available at the hotel. Recommendations are provided by the concierge team, including GPS-supported tour suggestions.

Tee off in the golfers' paradise
Golf enthusiasts and aspiring golfers can tee off free of charge at the hotel's own golf course OPEN Golf, which is only 9 kilometers away. You can even hit the green without a license (but you can get one there if you want). The Golf Academy next door offers courses for everyone to improve their skills. There are another 18 top golf courses to choose from within a 60-minute drive.

Switch off and enjoy
The hotel's diverse Cocoon Spa is a relaxing hub of well-being. Guests enjoy silence and relaxation in six different relaxation areas, as well as the spacious, heated indoor/outdoor pool. The sunny garden at the spa offers another pool, daybeds and private cabanas. Break a sweat and detox at the extensive adults-only sauna area. When it comes to treatments, you're spoiled for choice. They're all done with the use of high-quality products by Team Dr. Joseph and QMS Medicosmetics.

Gastronomy at its finest
Eating is probably one of the most beautiful pleasures in the world. At Sonnhof, culinary delights are a top priority. The breakfast buffet with all its delicacies ensures an enjoyable start to your day. In addition, there is a varied snack buffet in the afternoon and elegant 5-course dinners in the evening. The common denominator are the hand-picked raw ingredients, which are paired with fine wines from the well-stocked wine cellar. Extras such as a "pancake orgy" and the "gourmet festival" invite you to discover delicious flavors. Of course, vegetarians, vegans and guests with food restrictions are taken into account.
