Eco-friendly by conviction, not by trend.
An Eco-Friendly Hotel in Tirol?
For us, becoming an eco-friendly hotel was never a marketing strategy – it was a heartfelt decision. What began with the birth of our son and a personal desire for a healthier, more conscious lifestyle is now the very soul of Holzleiten. We believe that true luxury can only exist in harmony with the natural world. That is why we offer more than just certified organic quality on your plate; we offer a holiday where your carbon footprint is often smaller than it is at home – all without sacrifice, and with a focus on complete, mindful enjoyment.
“Our vision is clear: to be one of the premier eco-friendly hotels.”
– Simon Wilhelm, Hotel Owner
Our concept is built on a very clear foundation: we are a high-end, competitive, and unique wellness hotel. We “spice up” this promise by offering uncompromising organic quality – a commitment we are incredibly proud of. In the wellness industry, the excessive use of resources and unnecessary waste are all too common. We choose a different path. Our goal is to protect the environment without requiring our guests to compromise on the luxury and comfort they expect. In a sense, we conserve resources on behalf of our guests, working behind the scenes so they can enjoy their stay to the fullest. Despite the high level of comfort, a holiday at Holzleiten is often more sustainable than everyday life at home.
The most memorable experiences at are undoubtedly the connections made with people.
It is truly fascinating to see the wonderful individuals who choose to stay with us. The conversations and encounters that happen here are both enriching and inspiring. Our guests are unique; they possess a deep sense of awareness and a thoughtful approach to life. Despite their success, they choose to act consciously and strive to make a positive difference in the world. This shared vision is exactly what we aim for, and it is what transforms a simple stay into a truly special experience.
A Tradition of Heartfelt Hospitality
We look back on a proud history spanning over five decades. In 1972, my parents, Herbert and Maria Wilhelm, established a small coffee house on the Holzleiten Sattel – a landmark along the classic route from Telfs to the Fern Pass. Through tireless effort and personal passion, they expanded our house step by step.
In 1976, they added the “Sattelklause” restaurant, which became a beloved local meeting place. Following years of thoughtful growth, they took a major leap in 1989: transforming the original inn into the Hotel Holzleiten. By 1990, four stars shone above our entrance – a standard of excellence we strive to uphold every single day.
Driven by a relentless pursuit of quality, we entered a new era on May 22, 2008. The Holzleiten Nature and Spa Resort was born, inspired by the spirit of the larch tree and designed in perfect harmony with nature, tradition, and modern comfort. The defining milestone of our journey arrived in May 2013, when we officially became a 100% certified organic Biohotel- a promise kept for your health and our environment.
Our evolution continued with the opening of our new sauna house in June 2018, followed by our most recent transformation in June 2021. With a beautifully renovated restaurant, an expansive buffet, a new relaxation sanctuary, and the addition of exclusive rooms and suites, we have set new standards for luxury and well-being.
We look forward to welcoming you with the same family hospitality that has defined us for generations.
Your hosts, The Wilhelm Family
