Hotel Pirchner Hof - Alpbachtal in Austria

I'm just about to have my breakfast which is delicious every day and got even hungrier after reading this. I would love to try that hotel breakfast. I think breakfast is a very important part of hotel accommodation.

How wonderful it looks with snow and skiing, not to mention the good food!!!! I can skip breakfast, but the evening meal, oh, oh!!!!

I think it sounded affordable with everything included!
I have worked in a hotel in Austria, one called Hotel Goldried in Matrei in Osttirol. I cleaned rooms and watered the flowers on the balcony one season and then went on to work with the half-board and then I worked in the hotel bar at the after ski 🙂.

Do you mean 2500 SEK for half or full board? Since it says that breakfast, buffet lunch and dinner are included, is it full board? Or I'm completely confused! 🙂

Anyway, I drool when I see the breakfast! I would have loved to eat those breads that look so rustically good, I'm incredibly tired of white bread and graham flour.

It seems perfect 😀 and I embrace breakfast! Breakfast is very important to me. Even at home. I am starving in the morning and it is the good start to the day, I think.
Nice pictures of a good environment.

Looked really nice! But saw that you also only had ONE glass? 😉 Haha! Of course, it is possible to drink directly from the carafe as well if it is tight 🙂

For over 10 years we have been travelling annually to the Alps (different places) with our ski and boat crew. But then we want an apartment, with three separate bedrooms. A large part of the pleasure of the trip is to spend time with friends that we don't see so often nowadays (since we moved). We cook most of the food at home when we socialise and squabble together over the training pain 😉 Of course, we eat lunch on the slopes.

So my requirement for a hotel in the Alps is that it should be an apartment 😀.

Yum, good food combined with exercise, perfect ?

Now you have a lot to see and think about.

In other words, you were super happy with the whole trip. So much fun! I guess the ski trip gave more taste - there are more alpine countries and tourist offices to choose from;-)

Unfortunately, I am not a breakfast person. I enjoy lunch more and of course a really good dinner. The food on the plate was completely to my taste.

I have only lived in apartments in the Alps.

Wow, so many memories you bring back. It's actually hard to sort them out! Understand that you have had a very good time. ? I don't know how many times I have been to Austria and it is one of my favourite countries. Even have an Austrian citizenship left! ?

Nowadays, unfortunately, my body doesn't want to ski anymore, but I have to live on memories! ? I have been down to ski three times. When I did my teacher training programme, we were in Mariazell on a slalom course.

Two summers I spent several months at a time in Austria, helping to build housing for post-war refugees through a UN aid organisation. Those summers provided many rich experiences. There we cooked daily for about 20 people.

I can also say that it is not only in the hotels and restaurants that you eat good food in Austria. I was married to an Austrian for about 24 years and my mother-in-law, who lived way out in the country, cooked delicious food.

Hope you will make many trips to Austria! It is a country, which has a lot to offer on all fronts! Why not hike in the mountains next time? ?

No now I have to stop writing! ? As I said, your story brings back far too many good memories!
Thank you for your nice blog and keep up the good work!

There is only one reason why we have not been to Austria in recent years.
Our motorhome is too heavy and we need a Go box. I have not wanted to bother with that. Apart from that, Austria has everything you could wish for and more. It also shows this your post. Now I have a four-wheel drive private car and could go anywhere. I hope I don't get too old to return. Thank you for all your posts. Super good!
