"I am very happy to have found this top-class hotel in a unique scenic location," says Alexander Winter, Managing Partner of arcona, "The Triforêt is a perfect fit for us: it is familiar, high-quality, in a beautiful secluded location and in the middle of a region that is still considered an insider tip for tourists, at least for German guests. Our involvement as a sponsor of the Oberösterreich Rundfahrt underlines our desire to establish ourselves as a reliable tourism partner in the region."
Michael Fröhlich, Managing Partner of the investor Limestone, explains: "Our aim is to set completely new standards in Alpine tourism with the Triforêt. This applies to the guests' actual vacation experience, extends to the architectural design and extends to sustainability, which runs like a common thread through the entire project. Furthermore, we are very pleased to have won arcona Hotels & Resorts as the operator for the Triforêt and thus to have formed a long-term, reliable and experienced partnership "
The Triforêt stands for the ideal balance of adventure, sport, relaxation and enjoyment 365 days a year. The main building with 61 hotel rooms/suites as well as the 41 exclusive. These include 20 detached lodges in a modern alpine style and 41 exclusively furnished apartments in the main building.
The exclusively equipped spa and wellness area covering 1000 square meters invites you to linger. Sauna, fitness and selected cosmetic and wellness treatments after a sporty day round off the offer.
During the ski day, the new Ski-In & Out restaurant with its spacious sun terrace offers a varied menu and in the evening guests can enjoy the exquisite cuisine of the restaurant, the Hutterer Alpin Restaurant. The bar, designed in a modern alpine style with an open fireplace, invites you to enjoy a cozy get-together.
Children will also get their money's worth - not only on the ski slopes and in the Kids Park, but also in summer on the mountain trails, paragliding or other varied sports and leisure activities.
As part of the renovation, new rooms will be created in the main building as well as in the restaurant, offering an innovative setting for incentives, conferences and private events. The hotel will reopen for the 2023/2024 winter season.
Hinterstoder is the heart of the Pyhrn-Priel region in southern Upper Austria, on the border with Styria. Well developed for tourism, but not overcrowded, the region attracts visitors with its impressive natural scenery and a variety of attractions. In winter, 40 kilometers of groomed slopes at an altitude of around 2,000 m promise skiing fun with guaranteed snow. Those who prefer cross-country skiing, snowshoe tours or tobogganing can also let off steam to their heart's content. Hinterstoder is also a varied vacation destination in summer: a network of well-marked hiking trails leads into idyllic valleys and up to magnificent panoramic peaks, with rustic huts for refreshments along the way - and the crystal-clear mountain lake for a dip. Mountain bikers and paragliders also get their money's worth.
The region around Hinterstoder is easily accessible via the A9 highway, but also by public transport. The nearest airport is in Linz, 80 kilometers away.
