Journey Through Time

History of the Alpenhof Hotel in the Zillertal

Over four generations of our family, the Alpenhof Hintertux has evolved from a simple guesthouse at the end of the Zillertal into the first Four-Star-Superior Hotel Alpenhof in Hintertux. What was started and passed down by our great-grandparents Franz and Luise Dengg is now carried on and lived out by the third and fourth generations: Gabi and Klaus Dengg, along with their son Klaus Jr. and his wife Gabriela Jr. Genuine Tyrolean hospitality, warmth, and friendliness are extended with love and a personal touch to everyone who walks through the doors of our hotel in Hintertux. Down-to-earth values and humanity are central and important principles at the Hotel Alpenhof. We are proud of this.
