Elements made of wood, simple farmhouse furniture, traditional and high-quality fabrics connect with bright and friendlambience. The breathtaking view over the Inntal and the Tyrolean mountains don’t need any words really. You can enjoy the panorama perfectly from the hotel-pool, you definitely should’t miss the Wellness & Spa- area.

Tradition and Originality find themselves as well on the menu of the Inntalerhof. The high quality meat, for example, is from the farm of the family. Cheese, fruit and vegetables are from the region. Perfect conditions to feel fit and start the next bike-tour in the morning.

Of course, you can rent bikes as well. The Inntalerhof is a certified Bike-hotel in Tyrol.
