Topping-out ceremony for the Explorer Hotel Stubaital hotel project in Neustift

The success story of the group, which won the German Tourism Award in 2013 and is ISO-certified for its quality and environmental management, has many reasons, including a sense of timing. Considering the ecological footprint is becoming increasingly important in personal vacation decisions. Guests want to spend their holidays with a clear conscience. Frills are becoming secondary, while authentic experiences top the wish list. From the very beginning, the Explorer Hotels were conceived as green base camps in the mountains – tailored to sporty explorers drawn to nature, who want to travel fairly and be treated accordingly. Important here: the feel-good factor and the community, the many opportunities to share experiences. The relaxed atmosphere and trendy design create the perfect setting.

There are currently ten locations: Oberstdorf, Neuschwanstein, Berchtesgaden, Montafon, Kitzbühel, Zillertal, Hinterstoder, Ötztal, Bad Kleinkirchheim, and Garmisch. All hotels are distinguished externally by their distinctive shingle cladding. Innovation and ecological responsibility are paramount inside. Katja Leveringhaus and Jürnjakob Reisigl are the founders, owners, and managing directors of the group. Their idea of trendy, designer budget hotels with high ecological standards and affordable overnight rates fascinates sporty explorers of all ages and income groups. The locations in the German and Austrian Alps offer mountain experiences such as hiking, climbing, and mountain biking in the summer, while in winter, gentler options such as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular alongside skiing and snowboarding.
