THE GOURMET HOTEL
ALPIN IS THE FIRST
CHOICE FOR
YOUR GOURMET AND
WELLNESS BREAK
BY LAKE ACHENSEE

Experience charming Tyrolean hospitality surrounded by a magnificent mountain- and lakescape.

Culinary art
In our family-run establishment, culinary art takes centre stage. You can choose between the Gourmet Inn with traditional specialities served with a modern twist and the creative “Alpin-aroma kitchen” in Gründler’s Gourmet Parlour, where the focus is on creations with venison, merino sheep and fish from the Lake Achensee region.

Hotel
Our 4-Star-Hotel features 24 rooms and suites, all with balcony, offering all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Our small but excellent “Alpinaria” wellness zone boasts a Finnish sauna, sanarium, two infrared cabins, a massage and relaxation room. Further highlights include an idyllic hotel garden and the very spacious winter garden in modern design, which can be converted into an open-air sun terrace and beckons to relax with unobstructed views.

YOUR
HOSTS

Three family generations are devoted with heart and soul to the Gourmet Hotel Alpin. They are supported by a fantastic team in the kitchen, service and housekeeping. Father Armin and son Alexander Gründler, the two top chefs in the Alpin, ensure culinary moments of delight both in the Gourmet Inn as well as in the 4-Toque Restaurant Gründler’s Gourmet Parlour.

Regional

The multiple award-winning cuisine in the Alpin impresses not only with the culinary skills of Alexander and Armin Gründler, but also with the high quality of the products and their regionality. Pork from the Alpine meadows, merino sheep, suckling calf, etc. come from well-managed farms in Achental Valley, Zillertal Valley and the surrounding regions and form the cornerstones of the Karwendel cuisine in the Alpin! The local mountain and garden herbs also play a crucial role. And when enjoying the slowly reared trout and char from the “Ducal Kreuth fish farm” you can simply taste their origin!

Sustainable

Sustainability and environmental awareness play a crucial role in the Alpin. We place great value on the resource-conserving use of the produce, but the gourmet hotel has also been advocating energy conservation for many years. Thus, we have been connected to the bioenergy district heating since 2012, which saves us 30,000 litre of heating oil annually. Furthermore, heating for our hot water has been generated by our own solar system since 2007.

Home-made

What would an extensive breakfast be without delicious jams or your favourite dish without the matching spices? And if when enjoying these your thoughts are brought back to your dream holidays by Lake Achensee, then the enjoyment is twice as nice. Have you tasted our black elderberry jelly, our apricot jam or the chilli-vanilla salt yet? Our home-made gourmet treats are also available for sale on site – for even more delights and a bit of Alpin back home!

AWARDS

The inspectors of the new Guide Gault&Millau 2023 were impressed by all aspects of our two restaurants: “Gründler’s Gourmet Parlour is just one side. The other is a wonderful, slow-food-oriented inn. Both magnificent, and each with its very clear, own profile. Whereby the Gourmet Parlour – and rightly so – is the culinary poster child!“ (Quote Gault&MIllau Guide 2023). In the Gault&Millau 2023 the two top chefs Alexander and Armin Gründler were awarded 4 Toques for Gründler’s Gourmet Parlour. Since 2013 they have been members of JRE Austria, are among the ranks of Gourmet Hotels Austria and have been on the list of 100 Best Chefs Austria since 2020.
