Golf Courses: There is a training center, driving range, and putting at pitching green just steps from the entrance to the hotel. The nearest golf course is 2 km away in Ellmau with another 11 within an hour’s drive.
Spa: Built partly into the hillside, the spa at the Bio-Hotel seduces guests not so much for its treatments as its design and amenities. Lounge chairs in a sunroom at the uppermost level—a level shared by most of the treatment rooms—look out through floor-to-ceiling windows on that mountainscape of the Wilder Kaisers. To reach that aerie, you climb stairs cut into simulated stone the same gray color as the mountains. Water splashes down the rocky slope in full view of a large rimless hot tub the shape of a mountain pool. Lying there you can gaze at the Wilder Kaisers perfectly framed in the windows of that sunroom above or at an aquarium filled with neon-colored tropical fish and two marauding sharks. Behind the cascading water as if in a cave are a series of saunas—one in translucent stone and called the “Crystal Sauna”—and salt grotto, all of them clothing optional. Leave that area and you follow a set of stairs to an indoor pool, bordered by what seems to be an extension of that rock face and cascading water in the room above with windows on a large grassy inner courtyard of the hotel containing lounge chairs and a kids’ tree house. A tunnel from the indoor pool leads directly into a small outdoor pool, both filled with crystal-clear water. Finally, there is a separate lap pool in one corner of the courtyard. All of this is accessible to guests whether or not they book spa treatments.
Fitness Center: The hotel also has a Fitness Garden, a 5,400-square-foot (500m²) arena adjacent to the indoor courts. It has been furnished with TechnoGym cardio and exercise stations and a Kinesis circuit training system. Personal trainers are also available and many of the hotel activities now operate out of this new Fitness garden. It borders a wellness area for adults with a saltwater pool, a lap pool with integrated Omega timing devices, more relaxation areas, a large marble steam room, two more saunas, a waterfall grotto, and a swimming lake.
Summer: Hiking and Mountain Biking. Hiking trails begin almost at the doorstep of the hotel and head up—and if you choose, over—the Wilder Kaiser mountains. Some are easy. Those at higher elevation can be difficult, as you climb hand-over-hand up rocky paths or along very steep slopes where you’re smart to hang onto the cable attached to the rock on the upper side as a handhold. Scattered throughout are mountain huts providing refreshments and even overnight lodging. A map and suggested routes are available from the concierge desk and there are regular guided hikes during late spring, summer, and fall. Meanwhile, for bicyclists there are both paved bike lanes all along the valley floor and paved and gravel forest roads in the mountains themselves. Bikes can be rented right at the hotel and like hiking there are guided outings available in season.
Winter: Nordic and Alpine Skiing. There is the first of a series of lifts as close as Going, less than a mile away, and the Kitzbühel and its fabled Hahnenkamm downhill racecourse are only 15 minutes away by taxi.
Stanglwirt has Lipizzaner horses and a riding school, complete with a small outdoor equestrian ring.
Children's programs: At 9:30 each morning, kids as young as age 3 can meet at the “Kinderstube” in the hotel or the Children’s Farm behind or for a full day of activities, including lunch, hay games, pony rides, petting zoo, and more supervised by the hotel’s nannies until 5 p.m. (and evenings during holidays). Families, meanwhile, gather in a Children’s’ Water World, with a 400-foot-long waterslide, multiple shallow pools, bigscreen TV showing kids’ favorites, and napping and play areas.
Dining: Packages include breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a vast buffet of cheeses (some Stanglwirt’s own), deli meats, fish like smoked salmon or mixed seafood, their own yogurt, fresh fruit from raspberries and blackberries to watermelon and pineapple, breads, and a made-to-order omelet bar. Dinner varies from night to night but is typically a sumptuous five-course affair with a different theme each evening: Italian one night, Tyrolean Mountains another, the chef’s creations a third. They usually begin with a buffet of salads, fruits, vegetables and cheeses before giving you a choice of entrées, one of which is always vegetarian. There is also a free afternoon snack of coffee, tea, and pastry, served in the library.

Most beautiful setting in the alps on red clay courts.
This hotel is not really a hotel for us anymore, it is truly a home away from home. We always have the best times and being absolute tennis aficionados, it’s simply paradise because we have the best of both worlds: incredible hotel with fabulous facilities and out of this world tennis program. The facilities and the PBI coaches are simply the very best we have experienced. Adults and children alike have the best of times whilst improving their game in the most beautiful setting. As I said, the best of both worlds!
very competent and kind tennis teachers; familiar atmosphere; fantastic hotel
whenever I was there and no matter what coach; the training was amazing! The training was always very professionell, friendly and interesting and showed me a perfect way how to improve my style of playing tennis. Individually tailored to me – and to the other players, if we are playing in a group. Training also with much joy of playing Highly recommended to everybody who want to improve tennis knowledge. Tennis teached individually with a very high standard also with fun… fantastic!
The Hotel is beautiful, the staff very friendly and the tennis courts extremely well maintained. Weakness. Shuttle to courts, however, they are leaving every 15 minutes.
Just perfect!
Friendly, professional trainers, comradely and competent
Exceptional crew with many years of onsite experience.
ein Tennis-Camp auf außerordentlich hohem Niveau, sowohl was die sportliche Trainings-Kompetenz der Trainer und Trainerinnen, ihre technisch-organisatorische Umgebung und ihre Innivationsfreudigkeit und lernbereitschaft angeht, als auch, was die menschlichen Qualitäten, die Freundlichkeit, die Service-Orientierung, die positive Ausstahlung aller Beteiligten betrifft. Es kommt – ganz wichtig – hinzu, dass das Camp eingebettet ist in ein Bio-Hotel, das ebenfalls Verwöhnung für Leib und Seele auf ganz hohem Niveau bietet. Mögliche Schwachpunkte sind in desem Umfeld von derart untergeordneter Bedeutung, dass sie die Gesamtbeurteilung nicht beeinträchtigen können. Dieses Urteil beruht auf zahlreichen Kontakten über viele Jahre hinweg.
In dieser traumhaften Umgebung (Hotelanlage und Landschaft) macht das Tennistraining außergewöhnlich viel Spass!
The best for us. We’ve participated 32 times since 1978!!!
Personable highly qualified instructors. Best camp ever!
Everything is Perfect.
I Love Stanglwirt and also the PBI trainers. It‘s outstanding to be there every time. I would absolutely recommend it and I don‘t have anything negative to say at all…
Fantastic resort, look forward to our annual trip there, can’t recommend enough.
Perfect Organisation, Perfect Trainer!
This is the most amazing resort and Tennis Facility- First off the staff is amazing! No matter what your skill set is they make you feel comfortable. The ease at trying new things comes easy! Then you have the setting… the view is spellbinding! I think the added bonus is the cold water that flows throughout the resort coming straight from the Wilder Kaiser Mountains. It has become my favorite! I am enchanted and so happy that I can choose to come spend my summer vacation playing tennis in this magical place! I always walk away with so much knowledge. I love that PBI doesn’t change the way you play tennis, they just make you better!
Optimal als Vorbereitung für die neue Saison. Die Trainer sind hervorragend und verbesseren dein Spiel eindeutig. Eine super Mischung aus Spaß und “harter Arbeit” für den Spieler. Also, wer sein Spiel verbessern möchte ….. LG RH
Absolut empfehlenswert, prima Ambiente, Wahnsinns Hotel und hervorragende Trainer. Immer gut drauf und professionell im Training. Für jedes Alter und Spielklasse genau das richtige. Mit besten Grüßen
Being an advanced recreational tennis player it was really amazing to see how professional the coaching at Stanglwirt was. The infrastructure with courts indoor and outdoor is just outstanding. And the view to play in front of the famous and impressive Wilder Kaiser is a unique experience. Apart from that the Stanglwirt hotel provides one of the best hospitality services and we will be glad to book again soon there to further improve our tennis skills.
This facility is outstanding and even more beautiful! The staff and all the tennis staff were so amazingly helpful. We attended World Camp in September last year and had the most amazing time. Phil Azar is the Director of tennis and runs a wonderful program. The resort is in the Wilder Kaiser mountain range which you are hard pressed not to look at while the ball is coming to you, the backdrop is stunning. Highly recommend this place.
For me a ‘must do’tennis camp that always meets high expectations. Fabulous coaching team and fun camp. Have returned every year for the last five years. Gorgeous setting and wonderful post tennis spa relaxation in jaw dropping scenery.
I adore the tennis program at Stanglwirt. I have been there 3 times and have plans to return. I love the staff. All of the coaches are excellent teachers. They welcome me back with hugs and smiles. The clay courts and the views are like no other in the world. I am also a member at the Four Seasons PBI Tennis Club in Punta Mita I love their style of coaching.
Spectacular tennis experience in an impossibly beautiful setting. The pros are superb and delightful. The fact that they are all PBI pros is great because the teaching is uniform; you don’t have 5 pros telling you 5 different things about your backhand. The facilities are the best of any tennis resort/camp in the world, bar none, because of the proximity of the outdoor clay courts with the indoor courts. The hotel is large which offers a variety of dining options and avoids the monotony of eating in the same place every day. There are a variety of pools and activities for children and it appeared to be a play where many Europeans went for family vacations. The program for the camp is a morning session for 5 consecutive days. We wanted to play in the afternoon also so we arranged for private lessons in the afternoon which was a great combination. Because Austria is less expensive than Switzerland, I recommend getting a suite for maximum hotel relaxation.
I 100% recommend the Stanglwirt Resort for a tennis camp holiday. The PBI instructional team lead by Phil Azar is fantastic and Phil is one os the finest coaches i have worked with over the years. The tennis facilities are amazing as well with 8 red clay outdoors and 6 artificial grass indoors and great customer service from Alenka who takes care of everything not on the court for you. The resort itself is also world class in facilities, amenities and service. The food is fantastic and the environmental – organic focus adds to the overall luxury in my opinion. Multiple pools, saunas, kids facilities, etc. very very special place.
This a fantastic resort; stunning scenery, wonderful spa, friendly and helpful staff. Not to mention the great food and amazing breakfast. The tennis facilities are second to none and the coaches are personable, warm and friendly. They are all very experienced and professional with some great advice. The whole week was incredibly enjoyable and so much fun, I have no trouble in recommending this camp and resort to anyone.
I had a time of my life! The coaches made this week absolutely amazing and special. It exceeded all my expectations and I never thought I could learn that much in one week. And the place is fabulous with the spa and service. Plus the weather – and we could not have asked for anything more.
Hallo… leider kann ich nicht in englisch schreiben… deshalb auf Deutsch… Ich war vom 10.9. – 14.9.2018 im Tenniscamp im Hotel Stangelwirt… Ich war jetzt schon das 4. Mal dabei und kann einfach nur sagen, es war wieder einmal der absolute Hammer… Die Woche war einfach genial, von den super Tennislehrer/innen Phil, Andre, Eva und Dave… die 4 waren einfach genial, wie sie mir mit Kleinigkeiten helfen konnten mein Tennis zuverbessern… Kann eure Tennisschule einfach nur weiter empfehlen… lieber gruss Morena Hauser aus der Schweiz… ??
Always wanted to try this tennis camp and the Hotel. Was not disappointed by either, excellent coaches and high standards. Fantastic location below the mountains and weather was good so able to play outdoors. My camp was cut short as I pulled my hamstring at the end of the second day. They used a live ball rather than basket feeds which is more difficult but the coaches worked hard to get this to work. AT 800 meters above sea level it takes a little time to get used to the ball. We had two groups of 4 players for the two hour daily session from 10 till noon. I enjoyed my shortened camp and will return to hopefully complete the full week
This is by far our favorite hotel in Europe, and what makes us want come back every year it’s Stanglwirt’s exceptional infrastructure and sporting facilities you’ll find nowhere else in Europe ! I started playing tennis two years ago at Stanglwirt , and it is PBI’s exceptional coaches that kept my motivation at highest level, helped me improve my game and continue practicing tennis at home . PBI coaches are simply fantastic : they make game fun , they make you understand mistakes at the core, they take it as their mission to have you advance your game – and the result is always great ! Can’t wait to be back there soon!
Phantastic location with a great team ! Indoor just renewed courts in perfect condition – outdoor unbeatable mountain views and good courts as well.
A real relaxing and most beautiful spot to spend time just for the weekend or vacation, a warm and welcoming atmosphere and an excellent tennis surrounding with exceptional trainers.
I would tell them that the resort has all the possibilities to play great tennis!
Sport und Erholung auf perfekte Art und Weise zu verbinden = der Stanglwirt
Perfect Tennis resort, top courts, top Academy
Perfect Tennis stay, top skilled and very friendly staff, returning every year. Highly recommendable place!! Brand new very good indoor tennis courts, many outside tennis courts with most beautiful scenery.
ich würde PBI jedem meiner Mannschaftskollegen empfehlen. Vor allem Philippe ist ein hervorragender Trainer mit viel Erfahrung. Er bringt sein Schulungsprogramm mit viel know-how rüber und ist dabei immer gut gelaunt und charmant. Ich werde künftig sowohl im Sommer als auch im Winter beim Stanglwirt buchen und dann immer Ihre Tennisschule besuchen.
The tennisresort Stanglwirt is simply the best in the world ??????????
Excellent service, professional tennis training, the Hotel is perfekt, all guides are great
Heaven on Earth for tennis Players and children.
Wir lieben das Hotel Stanglwirt. Wir kommen jedes Jahr wieder und nutzen alle das Tennistrainig. Alle Trainer sind sehr freundlich und kompetent. Wir trainieren immer bei Joe. Er ist SUPER.
Excellent coaches who improve your skills and make it fun as well. The outside courts have an unbeatable view.
I have been to the Stanglwirt some 8 or 9 times and this time took the whole family (6 of us ) and it just gets better and better. The coaching staff are outstanding, the new indoor courts impeccable and above all it is huge fun , no matter what level or how energetic ( or not ) you want to be. Add to this one of the most stunning locations ,best spa and friendliest people in Europe and you have. The recipe for a perfect break. I will return as often as I can.
Daheim beim Stanglwirt! Man fühlt sich sofort heimisch und wird rundum verwöhnt. Das besondere Highlight beim Stanglwirt ist für mich das Tennistraining mit Joe. Joe erkennt immer welche Bereiche meines Spiels verbessert werden können und dann arbeiten wir daran auf unglaublich effiziente und zugleich spielerische Weise. Was ich außerdem noch toll finde ist, dass er mir abschließend noch zusammenfassend Tipps schreibt, damit ich selbstständig weiter an dem Erlernten arbeiten kann. Wenn ich hier speziell die Arbeit von Joe beschreibe, liegt es daran, dass ich ihn schon sehr lange als Trainer kenne und schätze. Ich bin aber sicher, dass auch die anderen Trainer des PBI-Taems hervorragende Arbeit leisten und ich freue mich auch immer sie zu sehen.
This is a great resort in the middle of the Alpes. There is plenty to do in the area as well as the tennis. But the pbi club is so good you may want to dedicate your time there. The New indoor courts play fast and in summer the sand courts are good with possibly the best view of the mountains as your backdrop. My coach was Joe who pushed me very hard. I felt he wanted me to improve and knew how to motivate me to get the best out of me. But his personal service I noticed most when he was teaching others as he adapts to his clients in the way he speaks and acts with them ensuring that they all get what they want from their time with him from hitting, to chatting, to detailed analysis, and coachin.
Hands down one of the most magical and picturesque locations i’ve ever been. And definitely the best place to learn and improve your tennis. No matter how much we travel, we always find our way back here. Playing tennis at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser mountain is a one-of-a-kind experience. Combined with well-maintained courts and the expertise of a team of qualified, witty and patient coaches, Stanglwirt provides the ultimate tennis experience. When you are in need of a relaxed afternoon, which you will definitely be after a couple of intense tennis lessons, the resort has fantastic spa areas, for both children and adults. As for the cuisine at the hotel restaurants, it has been absolutely superb every time. Stanglwirt is a place where your tennis skills improve, holiday dreams come true and most of all a place where you make friends for life.
This is THE best place to learn tennis in the whole world. Great facilities, amazing instructors in the most beautiful setting in Tyrol. Last week the guys at PBI improved both my serve and forehand in just two sessions. Stanglwirt is a truly 5star experience and after some good rallies the huge spa is just what you need!
Best resort ever great teachers in particular joe but all are great courts and material top shape all newly re done enough inside and outside courts great athmosphere in the tennis coffee place dame again insdie and outside great fair prices and stanglwirt itself great surroundings from rooms to poools to sauna to kids club spent 3.5 months there in 2016 and about 3 months ie all vacations
A) combine it with a stay at the “Stanglwirt” which accounts for a truly memorable experience B) whatever your level, PBI finds the right approach ti advance your game C) PBI staff is not only very professional but has extremely high social skills D) you will like format of 2 Hrs instruction in the am and 3 hrs of playtime in the pm D) pm hours should be adjusted to 2 to 5 instead of 3 to 6 to allow for more downtime before dinner
absolut top!
