When we opened our hotel 50 years ago, the term "organic" stood for conscious and sustainable interaction with nature, use of unadulterated raw materials, regionally sourced products and food and not to forget for a holistic view of oneself.

Our experiences over the last number of years have shown that the meaning of "organic" has changed a great deal. In accordance with new EU requirements, only hotels that use exclusively organically certified products are allowed to call themselves "Biohotel", regardless of the products’ origin. For us however, it is not irrelevant where our products come from. We’ve always fostered a corporate culture that requires the use of high-quality products. We also place the greatest emphasis on strengthening our own economic region and promoting the cooperation with honest and trustworthy producers who share our vision and values of a "GENUINE natural" way of life.

"Organic" has long meant much more to us than the compliance with regulations. We have taken this development as an opportunity to also send a clear signal with the name of our hotel:

As of June 1, 2014, the "Biohotel Alpenrose" has been renamed "Naturhotel Alpenrose"

The Alpenrose is not just "organic" – it is also GENUINE natural.

For us from hotel Alpenrose, this means:

Trust

We place great emphasis on a close personal and honest collaboration with our suppliers and the standard we aim for is to provide our guests only with the best organic and regional products.

Individual responsibility

We offer our guests a stress-free and low-radiation environment. Televisions and WLAN connections are deliberately banned from the guest rooms to create space for relaxation, communication and in-depth encounters. With us, you literally have both the space and the time to switch-off.

Respect/Honesty

We believe in the spirit of an open, honest and respectful relationship with each other and with our guests, where trust and empathy are given top priority. Respectful interaction with nature and natural raw materials are also a matter of major concern.

Food

Our products are sourced from producers who share our vision of a "GENUINE natural" lifestyle. We take special care to preserve old fruit, vegetable and grain varieties and to guarantee short transport distances. In addition, we purposely abstain from adding flavor enhancers and preserving agents.

Old knowledge

We share our comprehensive knowledge about the effects and the curative power of natural plants and herbs in order to bring prolonged vitality to as many people as possible. We’d like to invite you to learn more about it during one of our guided herb tours.

With "GENUINE natural" greetings,
the families Obweger & Baumann
