Hotel Knappenhof

Culinary delights & mountain air

The new summer retreat. Now also in spring, autumn and winter.
A villa with a legendary sun terrace at the base of the Rax. Wide, flat land in front, the mountain range behind, forests and meadows, cliffs, streams and fresh air all around.

Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler and Victor Frankl once enjoyed the comforts of the Knappenhof. Hoteliere Helena Ramsbacher breathed new life into the Knappenhof and transformed the ‘once’ into a ‘now’.

Exquisite & refined

Our team serves wild game and vegetables from the forests and meadows surrounding the Knappenhof, and wild-caught fish from Brač island. No fine-dining, simply good food.

Relax at Knappenhof

Listen to this silence while you sunbathe on our south-facing terrace, relax on the meadow, or simply open the window of your room.

Staying at Hotel Knappenhof

Antlers and birds of paradise

Unspoilt countryside outdoors, curated fine art and timeless craftsmanship indoors: contemporary art juxtaposed with old farmhouse furniture; walls covered with fine, colourful fabrics; and antlers shining like chandeliers: you wouldn’t know it from outside, but inside, hotelier Helena Ramsbacher has transformed the Knappenhof into an alpine bird of paradise.

The Rooms

All rooms at the Knappenhof remain true to their style and have been wrapped in new fabrics for the pop-up in 2021. Exquisite design finds its way into the rooms and provides the perfect backdrop for cosy relaxation.

Activities

The adventure on your doorstep. Behind us the mountains, in front of us the forest: some of the most beautiful tours of the Rax region start on our terrace. In summer as well as in winter.
