A strong family


... with one aim: to inspire you during your holiday with us!

It is the encounters with our guests that enrich our lives. That is why our hotel in the Wildschönau is more than just a normal Tyrolean family business. It is a place of encounters. A place for rest and relaxation. A place with a sense of home. A place full of history and stories. And this history is shaped by people who see their profession as a vocation and whose greatest drive is their endless passion and love for their guests: the family Gruber.

A PASSION FOR THE PROFESSION, A LOVE FOR PEOPLE.

THIS IS HOW IT ALL BEGAN...

The foundation stone for today's business was laid by our father, senior boss Michael (+ 20.3.2004) and his wife Hilda. From the very beginning, they both worked hard to make their dream of owning their own guesthouse come true. The father worked as a woodworker, the mother in the restaurant business.

In 1966, the two got married. They had four children: Andrea, the current manager of the Almhof, Hildegard, Herbert and Brigitte.

Herbert took over the business from his father in 1990. Herbert ran the Almhof for 18 years, putting his heart and soul into it, until a tragic accident at work took his life on 12 July 2008.

After this tragic accident, Andrea and her family took over the business from her brother. Today the Almhof is run by the second generation and the third generation is already following in their footsteps.
