Alpinhotel Pacheiner

ARRIVE FAR, AT THE VERY TOP - AT 1,900 M 4:30 PM: the last gondola departs from the summit station of the Gerlitzen, the last hikers bid farewell to the mountain. Absolute silence descends. Nature and tranquility take over the reins once again. Only at the very top, at 1,900 m, do the privileged experience what it means to have the summit all to themselves. The entire evening, the entire night. In the new four-star alpine hotel Pacheiner, the hotel for discerning individualists. Alpine 4-Star Design Hotel with Panoramic View Retreat. Not from life but to one’s own yearnings. Into the mountains. To the summit. To a hotel whose story began over 80 years ago, whose origin was a mountain inn that has been run by the Pacheiner family for generations. Deep roots, strong future: Since December 2012, the new hotel, built in a modern alpine style, now perches like an eagle in its nest on the summit of the Gerlitzen. Unlimited panoramic views included. Spacious living areas that are good for the soul offer alpine lifestyle with a view. Austria’s First Hotel with Observatory Almost extravagantly, the hotel and mountain offer extraordinary experiences in abundance. However, the probably most surprising discovery for many is the largest privately operated observatory on the roof of the hotel. For fascinating stargazing at night and nature and sun observations during the day. Under professional guidance, hotel guests receive interesting insights into the deep world of the starry sky – or glance over to the Grossglockner during the day to see what the chamois are up to. Summit Wellness in a Healthy High-Altitude Climate The floor-to-ceiling windows of the Finnish sauna tempt with grand views – the gaze wanders over the mighty peaks of the Alpe-Adria mountain worlds, strung together like pearls. After steaming in the finely suspended reclining chairs of the panoramic relaxation room, silence descends and summit wellness is experienced with all senses. The alpine meadow in the green, bio sauna, steam bath, and the healthy high-altitude climate invigorate every fiber of your body. It’s no wonder that the Gerlitzen was already established as a high-altitude health resort in 1928 with one of the first cable cars in Austria.
