As the leaves turn gold across Tyrol and the air takes on a crisp alpine edge, one resort in Austria stands out for racquet-sports lovers looking for a vacation unlike any other. The Bio-Hotel Stanglwirt, nestled beneath the Wilder Kaiser peaks, has long been a destination for players who want a blend of world-class tennis, emerging padel, and a touch of alpine indulgence. This fall, guests will have ample opportunities to enjoy a combination of stunning autumn touches with maximal racquet sports and wellness happenings.
A Thanksgiving Getaway, Alpine-Style
Thanksgiving oftentimes means family gatherings and cozy meals, but imagine celebrating the holiday surrounded by snow-dusted mountains, organic farm-fresh cuisine, and daily access to pristine indoor and outdoor courts. Stanglwirt’s Thanksgiving Getaway in Austria, an offer that runs November 23-30, 2025, wraps all of that into a single package. The resort’s partnership with Peter Burwash International (PBI) means you can polish your serve in the morning, enjoy the slopes or spa in the afternoon, and still make it to the evening’s gourmet feast. Guests enjoy luxurious accommodations, a festive Thanksgiving dinner, and full access to the resort’s legendary wellness world, including saunas and massages ideal for recovery post-play.
Where Competition Meets Community
Thanksgiving week / weekend also marks one of the most exciting events on Stanglwirt’s racquet sports calendar: the PBI Masters Tournament, running November 26-30, 2025. The tournament brings together international guests and passionate players for three days of competitive yet friendly matches, all organized by PBI professionals. It’s the perfect blend of high-level play and alpine camaraderie. Whether you’re traveling solo or with family, the schedule is designed to balance action and relaxation.
Padel Joins the Party
Padel is carving out its own niche at Stanglwirt. The resort’s Padel Power Days run January – February, offering players a chance to try padel for the first time or refine their shots under the watchful eye of PBI trainers. It’s part of Stanglwirt’s evolution from a classic tennis haven to a full-spectrum racquet destination, where enthusiasts can explore, unwind, and compete. Padel Power Days feature the following 3-day itinerary:
- 3 nights in the booked category: rooms & suites
- Indulgent breakfast, including organic products from our own farm
- Dinner in the hotel restaurant on the day of arrival
- On the second day: Padel Clinic with two PBI coaches
- On the third day: Padel Match with two PBI coaches
- All Stanglwirt inclusive services
The Art of Playing Well – On and Off the Court
Even beyond the courts, Stanglwirt has become a crossroads for sport and lifestyle. Earlier this year, the chic sock brand Comme Si chose the resort to celebrate the launch of its high-performance sports line, a nod to Stanglwirt’s reputation for blending athletic authenticity with understated luxury. It’s a place where you can train hard, relax deeply, and still look sharp doing it.
Why Should You Plan a Stay at Stanglwirt During Fall/Winter 2025 or Early 2026?
There’s something special about playing racquet sports when the rest of the Alps are preparing for ski season. Fewer crowds, crisp mountain air, and the glow of fireplaces at night make Stanglwirt’s Thanksgiving period a hidden gem for travelers. Between the PBI Masters and the Thanksgiving Getaway package, the resort offers a rhythm that feels perfect for athletes and adventurers. If you’re aiming for a trip during the new year, Padel Power Days offer racquet sports guests the option to blend alpine luxury with ample on-court performance.
