When you enter the Naturhotel Alpenrose, you will feel it: Here you can leave everyday life behind and completely relax. Even before its construction, attention was paid to natural materials, which provide a very special atmosphere, for warmth and comfort. The processed wood comes for the most part from local forests. Hand-chopped larch shingles, which were prepared by a Lungau farmer, adorn the façade.
