Hosts in Obertauern for 40 years

We always have an open ear!

For over forty years now, the Bernhofer family have been personally treating their guests to 4-star standards in a casual, family-style atmosphere.

ANNO 1960

Hans Bernhofer Sr. set out from Untertauern in the 1940s to seek his fortune here on the Tauern Pass. He worked as a ski instructor in winter, while in summer he helped take care of his parents’ farm, the “Wernhartgut”, in Untertauern. In the 50s, he already opened a ski school of his own in Seekar and built the Seekar tow lift. In 1960, Christine “Christl” Gruber from Altenmarkt came as a cook to the then “Alpenvereinshaus Seekarhaus”, which was leased by Franz Posch from Gosau.

1961 saw the two of them get married and in 1965 they began leasing the Seekarhaus themselves. In the following years, three sons were born – Hans, Christoph and Wilfried – and in 1975/76, Gasthof Alpenland was built with 39 beds as well as a ski kindergarten.

1986 - 1994

In 1986, Hans Jr. returned from the college of hotel management and plans began being forged for expansion. But those plans would ultimately be abandoned in favor of construction of Apparthotel Bernhof, which was taken over later by brother Wilfried. In the meantime, Hans got to know Mirva, who was employed close by at Hotel Kristall.

In 1994, it was finally time at the “Alpenland” for the big remodeling and expansion which would turn the business into a 4-star hotel with 72 beds. It was in the autumn of that same year that Sebastian first saw the light of day. Just prior to the millennium, the wedding invitations were sent out and, with the birth of our little Lisa, our happiness was complete.

2001 - 2018

2001 saw Hotel Gamsleiten purchased by Mrs. Lilo Waser, which has since been operated by brother Christoph.

In 2006, a modern wellness area was built at Hotel Alpenland with the befitting name "Alpen’Relax".

In 2010, the new bar area was created, which is to this day the heart of our hotel bar, the "Alperer". We also managed to acquire the neighboring property from the municipality, thereby laying the foundation for the future-looking expansions which happened in the years 2017 and 2018.

2017 & 2018

2017 and 2018 involved a major construction project, with the entire hotel undergoing sensitive renovations to meet highest quality expectations and expand the entire infrastructure to become state-of-the-industry.

It would really have been a pity not to have shared this sunny, central location in the heart of Obertauern with as many guests as possible. And because a real family hotel is only truly such if everybody lends a hand, the parents immediately established a marvelous family tradition: timeless hospitality in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere, comfort and enjoyment according to 4-star standards – with everything your heart could desire. Including gloriously spacious rooms and suites, which are also ideally suited as family rooms.

Not to forget our inviting “Alpen-Relax” wellness facility, which will transform your winter holiday in Obertauern into the very definition of a feel-good escape.

For lovers of good food, in our pleasant dining rooms we are happy to serve an array of culinary treats.

That said, we offer everything that body, mind and soul could possibly wish for.
