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.

Stanglwirt and the PBI Tennis coaching staff are the best tennis experience I have had. Extremely professional and service minded coaching team who have brought my tennis to a new level. The surroundings are taken out of a picture book and cannot be found better. The hotel has a unique spa area with fantastic staff. The breakfast is absolutely outstanding – everything is organic. You immediately feel at home and all whiches can be fulfilled.
I love Bio-Hotel Stanglwirt. PBI does the instruction super easy and fun to follow and understand!!
Stanglwirt is amazing! Honestly my favourite resort in the world! We have been coming for 14 years and always play tennis. The coaches are amazing and really care about their clients and tailor it to their needs. Highly recommend!
The atmosphere is great, either if your planning to go there with your family or just as a couple, you will always have something to do. I grew up playing tennis there and I just loved it.
The location is breathtaking! Playing on the outdoor clay courts and viewing the gorgeous Austrian Alps is incredible. The instruction, lead by Phil was second to none. My wife and I felt like we were family and I mean this in a good way!
I had a unique experience where I learnt a great deal, met fabulous people and had a lot of fun in an outstanding location. So happy I traveled across the world to experience this camp.
I have been there for many years to improve my tennis. It is a lot of fun to train with the guys. Everything very professional and always tennis for fun ?? This year we had team preparation for the summer season , it has brought us all a bit further Thanks to Phil Andrea and the whole team
The hotel is fantastic but the the spa is even better than that. My personal highlight was the PBI tennis camp, I loved the inspiring atmosphere and the very very professional training which resulted in many learnings and lots of tips for practizing in the coming months. I‘ll be back soon to further improve my tennis and prepare for the summer saison.
After a few minutes I already got tips from PBI trainers which improved my game play in singles and in doubles. It’s also so much more fun than regular training back home. Playing in a group isn’t expensive and once you attended a PBI tennis camp in the Stanglwirt Hotel you will always want to come back. Keep it up PBI Stanglwirt !
Best Team ever
Strengths: Tennisschool and -ressort Fitness and Spa possibilities Accomentation Weaknesses: All in all not cheap
We would go to the Stanlwirt again because of the highly standard of the PBI Tennis school! Our absolutely favorite Trainers, Rudy, Dave and Horia!!! Phil did everything that people felt very comfortable! And all of them did a great effort! They made our week great!!! The courts are in absolutely perfect conditions! And of course the most beautiful surrounding and atmosphere! Weakness concerns only the SPA, because they forgot to give us a Present ( somebody of our group turned 50 years old at the day of arrival ). Only at the time when we were checking out we got this present. Of course it was too late to take advantage of it. ( SPA Voucher which was issued a day before arrival ).
It was really great and we‘ll come back very soon!!!
the resort is really good for people they like tenns with fun i came here more than 25 years and always the akademie is very good organised people friendly. you can play in and outside no matter what weather
We have been going there since 7 years! I startet playing tennis there and would highly recommend the resort for really everyone. It simply has it all! Great for all kind of sports and wellness. With or without kids. Wonderful Hotel with great staff and exeptional tennis coaches!
My tennis vacation to Stanglwirt are always my highlight of the year. I try to come on my own every year and enjoy the unbelievable Tirolean mountains in the best resort ever. I play tennis everyday. Phil, Andrea, Dave and Lenka are amazing coaches! I always come back home with a better stroke. This year they fixed my serve! Super professionals and friendly, they always go beyond service to make your experience unforgettable. The spa is a dream and the food superb! Won’t miss my solo tennis trip for the world! I also always try to join their World Tennis Camp in June or September. Amazing atmosphere, great instructions and super fun! Looking forward to my next trip in September with my husband and the kids!
Der Stanglwirt, das ganze Hotel und Serviceteam, seine Freizeitaktivitäten und ganz besonders das Tennisteam um Phil Azar sind für uns eine außergewöhnliche Bereicherung in diesem wunderschönen Österreich. Herzlichen Dank wir sind mindestens ein bis zweimal für jeweils 10-14 Tage pro Jahr vor Ort um das auch valide beurteilen zu können.
Our last holiday at the Stanglwirt was perfect as always. The surrounding mountains make playing tennis outdoors with the backdrop of the wildenkaiser mountains a highlight in life. The hotel offers everything from great food and drink, a beautiful spa, golf and fitness. What sets the Stanglwirt apart from all other first class hotels is the tennis team. They must be the best tennis team in the world. They do everything to make your stay exceptional. They cater to your needs and meet them every time. Their tennis knowledge is better than any other tennis school I know. My game has improved 1 level after each visit. I can’t imagine Stanglwirt without this tennis school.
Excellent location. Outstanding. The is none better. Playing tennis, there, is like a dream. Highly recommended. Tennis Inscructors are high class. Thank you.
It is the most spectacular place I have ever visited and we are returning June 16th 2022 with 12 people! The tennis facility has the most amazing staff and the resort is the best in Europe. Can’t wait to visit again in a couple of weeks.
Das Erlebnis Urlaub beim Stanglwirt ist außergewöhnlich. Seit einigen Jahren komme ich mit meinen Tennisfreundinnen zum Stanglwirt und wir nehmen dort regelmäßig Gruppenunterricht. Es sind immer alle begeistert über die sehr lehrreichen Stunden in wunderbarer netter Atmosphäre. Die Tennistrainer sind alle mitreißend und das Training macht viel Spaß.
Nice people, best Tennis Camp and best Location
Stanglwirt is an exceptional resort, high in the Austrian Alps with superb views and very pleasant staff. I am happy to go back anytime.

The greatest tennis vacation ever. We go every year
PBI at Stanglwirt is heaven on earth for tennis players of all levels. Best staff, best resort, storybook like setting.
Tennis staff is incredible- they are kind and push you to be a better player. The atmosphere is like no other- playing under the mountains is a treat!!
Eine hervorragende Tennisakademie mit sehr guten Tennistrainern, top gepflegten Anlagen im Freien und in der Halle sowie außergewöhnlichen Hotelbereich, in dem man sich umfassend wohl fühlt.
Für alle Tennisbegeisterten kann ich Stanglwirt PBI Resort sehr empfehlen! Seit 16 Jahren komme ich regelmäßig und es ist immer ein Erlebnis mit hoch professionellen TennistrainerIn zu spielen und Spaß haben. Die Qualität der einzelnen Trainingseinheiten sind einfach Weltklasse!
Best location and staff were outstanding, The scenery and Austrian hospitality were incredible and very memorable! We are booked for 2022.
We have stayed at Stanglwirt a number of times and found it a superb place to be. We originally went there for the PBI tennis coaching and tennis camp which are exceptional. It seem the Stanglwirt and PBI were made for each other; excellent personnel and service, attention to details, friendly and welcoming. We have returned because of that, and look forward to the September tennis camp again the coming September.
The week which I spent at PBI tennis camp at Stanglwirt in September 2019 was, quite simply, one of the best in my life. All coaches were warm and welcoming, as were the other participants. It didn’t matter at all that I was a solo traveler – the company was great, tennis facilities were excellent and the hotel facilities were out of this world. It was a very special experience to play outdoors on the clay with the Kaiser Mountains as a backdrop. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to Phil Azar & team!
An excellent well planned and hosted tennis week in the beautiful Austrian Tirol. Courts are scenically placed in front of the tinkling cow bells just below the Wilder Kaiser mountains. A friendly bunch of tennis professionals really know their stuff and the place is perfect for relaxing with multiple spa options and a fabulous new spa facility when you aren’t on court.
The resort provides the highest level of service and experiences with amazing tennis coaches who help you to improve tennis skills in positive and fun environment. Their extensive international experiences make you feel welcome wherever you are from.
If you’re serious about learning to play or advance your tennis game, this is the place to come. You get precisely whats’s written on the box. You can expect an incredible learning experience, super coaches, super facilities and a beautiful location.
The PBI staff was extremely nice and very professional. We will for sure repeat this experience with PBI etiher in Stanglwirt or another PBI location.
Very nice, family athmosphere excellent trainers a lot of fun
Der Stanglwirt ist mein absolutes Lieblingshotel und die Tennistrainer sind Spitze!!!! Einfach unschlagbar!!!
Tennis facility, location, spa and food.
Excelent Resort Beautifoul Scenerie
