What makes the Holzhotel so special?

Forsthofalm is more than just a natural wooden hotel – it is a harmonious blend of modern architecture, culinary treats, a spa, and unspoilt nature.

A sensuous lifestyle and a great view over the mountains

The pleasant fragrance of natural wood will induce a feeling of well-being from the moment you enter the hotel. Living in a wooden hotel is a sensuous experience complemented by the incredible view from your window over the surrounding mountain pastures and peaks. Enjoy a unique experience on your Alpine holiday at 1,000 meters above sea level.

The Holzhotel is made using over 70,000 bolts

Did you know that our wooden walls are totally free of glue and metal? Our walls made of solid wood have been assembled with over 70,000 wooden bolts and are fully organic. Your holiday at the Holzhotel will therefore be even more healthy and relaxing. We also took care to use only natural materials when furnishing the hotel – wooden or tiled floors and all-wooden furniture.

Allergies & living surrounded by wood

Did you know that it has been proven that you enjoy a deeper, more peaceful and relaxed in a room made entirely of wood? It has also been proven that the heart rate is slower and more peaceful when you sleep on wooden surfaces instead of artificial ones. Real wood is good for all those who suffer from allergies, and for those who would like to breathe in deeply in their room.
Guests suffering from allergies (for example caused by house dust mites) are in the right place in our Holzhotel. Our Holzhotel does not have any carpets and is fully fitted with floors made of natural materials.

Moon-cut wood

The Thoma Company sawmill cuts its trees when they are not producing sap, when the moon is waning. This is why the wood is referred to as ‘moon-cut’. This ancient tradition for ensuring the longest resistance of wood against fungi and insects was commonly practised in all cultures that used wood as the major construction material. In Japan, you will find the most ancient wooden constructions in the world (1,600 years old).

Our ecological hotel

Perhaps the biggest surprise comes from hard facts – the figures about Holz100.
The glue-free assembly provides a lambda value of 0.078. This is a world record in thermic insulation for any type of static supporting construction material. Holz100 house-owners needn’t fear energy price increases. At the same time, a thick Holz100 wall has the best temperature balancing values you can find.
