Der Böglerhof - Pure Nature Spa Resort

Always staying here a few times a year, sometimes with the family and kids and sometimes alone. There is nothing you could wish for here! Great rooms, the spa is amazing and has so much to offer for both adults and kids, summer or winter. Outstanding service and all the staff are very friendly and caring and always greet you with a smile.

This is a really lovely hotel in beautiful Alpbach. Traditional in the very best sense of the word – individual, family run and oozing quality and style. We had a lovely spacious “Sonnjoch“ room ( 254 - may be better view on higher floors). The new spa and pools area is absolute fantastic, the location just beautiful. Excellent activity programme available, thoroughly recommend guided walks with Andreas, and all staff so friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was amazing, loved afternoon cakes (or more) time, and evening meals very good and presentation excellent, though occasionally lacking a little in flavour. Travelled with Inghams, also highly recommended. Brilliant holiday – very much hope to return.

We enjoyed our stay so much in 2023 we booked again for 2024. We requested the same rooms and were delighted to find that this little detail had been accommodated. The new natural spa area is amazing. The big lake pool is excellent and the warmer pool luxurious. The staff are great. Every single person greets you with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. Sara’s (our waitress) attention to detail was excellent and much appreciated. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and wide choice on the evening menu. Afternoon cake was a treat after a long walk - many of which can be accessed from the hotel itself. Free buses take you further afield and free gondolas take you higher. All in all, a place where you can relax with confidence that everything will go smoothly. We traveled with Inghams.

In this review I’m going to talk about the fine dining and the new spa First the fine dining you can or have 2/5/7 courses of some of the finest food around Alpbach My 7 course menu was with out fish as I don’t eat it Greetings from the kitchen 3 small dishes that were unbelievable in taste and looks Then Mushroom mousse with beetroot. Very very nice Next was Medallion of veal. Sucking pig Sirloin melt in the mouth Lastly Churd cheese dumpling Followed by a sweet gift from the chef Hank’s Treichl. An outstanding chef winner of awards. If you’re staying or not. Do try the tasting menu. Now the spa. In a word WOW the thought that has gone into this is amazing I have not put pic up as it would spoil the sparse the walk from the hotel to it is a joy the colours for-me the lighting were outstanding. As usual the rest of the hotel food staff are all up to the now 5 stars it’s has and should have . I traveled with INGHAMS please give it a try.

I first stayed in the Böglerhof twenty years ago and loved it back then. I have seen it evolve over the years into the most outstanding hotel I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. The new adults only Pure Nature Spa is an absolute delight and I particularly enjoyed the very large swimming lake in which I could really work out whilst admiring the extensive mountain views. As a pescatarian, the dinner menu is superb, offering a fish main course plus an imaginative vegetarian main course in addition to a meat dish each evening. In so many hotels, the vegetarian food on offer feels like an afterthought but not here. People of every culinary preference are well catered for with plenty of choices. As someone with a sweet tooth, the weekly dessert buffet is to die for. The staff are professional and friendly; I am greeted warmly every time I return. The Duftner family who own the hotel are excellent hoteliers who give exceptional service and continue to maintain high standards. I am looking forward to returning in the future.

Two of us went for what we booked as a fixed course dinner. Very confusing as menu had individual courses priced but no fixed menu price. Shambolic uninformative service. Mediocre food at spectacular prices. Plain salad from buffet. Microscopic starter, adequate main and tasteless ice cream self served from buffet. Two drinks. 120 euro. You can do very much better in this pretty village.

Amazing location. Wonderful hotel, food, people, facilities - very hospitable. A place to relax, sleep brilliantly, swim, spa and eat incredible meals - amongst beautiful mountains and gardens. Easy to access the peaks, Alms (mountain cafes) etc for walks. We went with Inghams. This was our second visit to this hotel. There are so many guests that are repeat visitors. It’s not a surprise. The place is spotless, the location is amazing, the rooms are lovely and well-equipped…the people who work in Boglerhof are super-professional. It’s very easy to arrive and simply relax. The gardens and terraces are beautiful and you can find quiet spot to relax. The pool is lovely. It’s not enormous, but big enough. It’s a nice temperature and swimming in rain out there is a treat. The spa is clean and easy to use. Loads of towels, water, showers, relaxation areas. We used it most days after our hikes. The breakfast is super. We ate outside on most days. Great coffee options. Loads of choice, lovely bread, honey, juices, loads of hot options on - incl egg chef. There’s an afternoon tea buffet too (from 2-4pm) - even at half board you can drop into restaurant and fill up on a hot dish, meats, cheese and an array of cakes. Incredible. They also refill your in-room coffee, mini bar - which is free and another unexpected bonus. Evening meals are amazing. I had Alpine menu most days. There’s a dedicated veg menu also. Wine by glass was around £5.50-6 - and lovely. That was our only extra during the holiday…Evening drinks. They also do kid-friendly meals too. For those with a sweet-tooth..there’s a Haribo (sweets/candy) area in buffet too (all included) plus ice cream options. There’s free tours with a professional guide on most days. We went ebiking. We took the bus from Alpbac to lifts and walked on top of mountains - came down other lifts and back to Alpbac on bus. It’s really easy. Lots of advice at reception on walks. Plus free maps. There are some lovely places in mountains to grab a bite and beer (Alms) - check where they are and when they open. They are a treat. There were a couple of bands in evening. Really nice. We saw lots of single travellers mingling, chatting and joining the excisions. So going alone to this hotel is definitely and option. Alpbac itself is beautiful. Small. But plenty of restaurants and bars. There’s a great supermarket. You can walk directly from town onto the peaks. Rent bikes and enjoy traditional Tyrol experience - like band music on Friday evening in summer or a festival. There’s a church - yes it does have bells! They ring 2-3 times a day. I liked it. Definitely worth a look around the place and you are welcome to do so by the community. Famous for Schrödinger’s resting place, of course. There’s a bakery, clothes shops, cafes, traditional beer houses, pizza and restaurants. Plenty for all travellers. As you can see, I loved it. The best things in Alpbac are free tbh. The air, the scenes and chats with locals.
