People

Encounters with PEOPLE are more valuable to us than NATURE and SPORT

Every guesthouse has its own clientele: some cater to sports clubs full of young, boisterous types, whilst others welcome tour groups of gentle, elderly guests. The guests often reflect the culture and values of the establishment. At the DACHSTEINHOF, a wide variety of groups come together: nature lovers, those seeking peace and quiet, Christian holiday groups and business people.
