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.

I went many times to PBI Stanglwirt since 15 years ago. The tennis experience has always been fantastic with excellent level of trainers and nice international atmosphere full of joy and love for tennis, whatever the level you are playing. I hope to come back soon.

Thank you for a great week of tennis. PBI team “ we will be back” in 2026 summer.
Dear PBI Team, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to play on my last trip, but my wife had a fantastic time again. Well done on updating the outdoor courts—we hope everything will be ready for us in May. Please keep us posted about the World Camps. Best regards LS
We are regular guests from Switzerland and noticed a change in management last year. We are pleased to see that the energy and positive attitude have remained the same. The program is becoming increasingly dynamic. Well done to the PBI team (Petr)!
Thank you to the entire team for making our holiday a fantastic tennis experience. It was a pleasure playing with several coaches during our stay, and Peter, the English Pro, was especially wonderful with our daughter. The hotel and food were excellent as well. We will definitely be back
The entire experience was great! Lovely accommodations , beautiful views, and super tennis camp. We enjoyed it all thoroughly.
Every morning we arose to a beautiful view of the mountains with white horses grazing outside our patio door. Each day on the tennis court was challenging and rewarding as instructors provided useful insights and we learned new or added to skills with our teammates. The hours on the court passed much too quickly, leaving me excited and eager to practice.
Meals at Stranglwirt offered a range of choices of delicious food, from snacks to full dinners.
A super experience!
The tennis instructors are excellent, very qualified and the clay courts are well maintained. I highly recommend this tennis experience.
What a wonderful experience. All the coaches are very professional & knowledgeable. The hotel is beautiful & the staff are very nice.
We had a wonderful week long stay! The tennis instruction was detailed and professional. The courts were beautiful as was the resort! We’ll be back again, and can’t wait!
Wonderful weeklong trip to Stanglwirt with our group of 15 club members from North Carolina. Petr, Andrea and their team did a wonderful job both on court and off court to ensure that our group had a wonderful tennis experience. Our group also had dinners at the hotel that were first class. Between the service, food and beverages of choice they took care of our every need. The bakery even did a birthday cake in the shape of a tennis ball for one of our group. Our group had tennis until noon each day then after that we were free to explore the hotel amenities, festivities in Going. The hotel helped organize a side trip to Salzburg which included dinner reservations and exploring the fortress there. Some of group took the opportunity to rent bikes through the Sport Eck shop in the hotel and take a trip all the way to St. Johann. We are also planning another trip in 2026 with two dates.
Amazing experience!
I had an amazing time at Stanglwirt tennis camp! The coaches were incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and motivating. Having private lessons with Peter was also a unique experience. Each drill was well organized and tailored to my skill levels, which really helped me see progress in just a short time..
I left feeling more confident, inspired, and excited to keep playing. I highly recommend Stanglwirt camp to anyone looking to improve their game and have a great time doing it!
We spent almost two weeks at the Stanglwirt and had daily tennis lessons, and it was simply fantastic. The training was professional, fun, and incredibly informative. Even in addition to our pre-booked hours, we could spontaneously book extra sessions or courts at any time; everything was straightforward, flexible, and very well organized.
A very special thank you goes to head coach Petr. His calm and friendly manner, combined with his enormous experience and keen eye, has fundamentally changed our tennis game. With small corrections, subtle adjustments, and clear explanations, he showed us how much of an impact lies in the details. These seemingly small changes have taken our game to a whole new level. Petr is an outstanding coach and a wonderful person who motivates and inspires everyone with patience, charm, and expertise. For us, he is clearly the best coach.
We would also like to thank Elia from the bottom of our hearts. With his calm, thoughtful, and incredibly kind manner, he managed to motivate and encourage our daughter, even in the early morning lessons. His blend of patience, empathy, and subtle humor made every session a thoroughly enjoyable and enriching experience.
And of course, Andrea. Always a special treat for us. Even though we only trained a little together this time, we always look forward to our warm exchanges with him, whether on the court or in the clubhouse. His open, honest, and warm nature creates an instant connection. He has a special knack for understanding people, whether children or adults, and meets everyone where they are. Andrea is not only an excellent coach but also someone whose positive energy and humor are simply uplifting.
We’ve already booked for next summer and are looking forward to returning, continuing to learn, and enjoying our game on the beautiful outdoor courts against the breathtaking mountain panorama.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Stanglwirt tennis team for your passion, dedication, and the joy you bring to the court every day.
This is the best resort in the world. I just took a group of 15 people to Stanglwirt for a week long tennis camp. The tennis was great as were the amenities our group used. Amazing food and beverage, great service, stunning pools and lovely spa. We made side trips as well and the concierge service handled all trips professionally. Our group wants to go back. Having conducted tennis programs all over the world I highly recommend Stanglwirt to anyone who wants a great tennis experience.
Great experience, very professional and friendly coaches, excellent quality.
Allround great place, the courts are excellent, but the best thing is the coaching staff. Super friendly, very knowledgeable and great tennis players.
another great experience with PBI
I highly recommend the “PBI team”! Professional, courteous, yet relaxed… Our favorite coach, Elia Romagnoli, in particular, not only has a wealth of tennis expertise but also an excellent understanding of how to incorporate the psychological aspects of each individual player! Five stars from us in every respect!
