Alpendorf Summer 2016 - Part 1

Going To Alpendorf

Friday - July 15th 2016

Last year we visited Hotel Alpendorf for the first time, because we found out that they offer a vegan cuisine. We stayed only for one night, but we liked it so much that we wanted to return this year. Since our last vacation to the USA ended already over a month ago and work was stressfull recently, we decided to make a weekend trip to Alpendorf. So Friday after work we were on our way and after an hour of driving we arrived at the hotel. Once we checked in, we got an afternoon snack and had a welcome drink.

Since this weekend was just about relaxing, we spent the rest of the afternoon in the spa area. There we enjoyed the sauna, the steam bath and the indoor pool until it was time for dinner. Like during our last time at that hotel, the food was amazing again. For starter we got smoked tofu and for the main course we ordered lentils with a bretzel dupling. Afterwards we had a couple of drinks at the hotel and later we went to bed.

Let's Hike

Saturday - July 16th 2016

For today we planned to hike to a chalet, but unfortunately the weather wasn't very good and so we drove into the samll town and did some shopping, but before we had an amazing breakfast. We got different spreads, juices, coffee, rolls, cereals, pudding, yoghurt and additionally we ordered pancakes and scrambled tofu. It was delicious. After breakfast we headed into town center and since the sky cleared up a bit we decided to do the hike.

So we returned to the hotel and soon we were on our way to the chalet. We chose an easy route, because we are not the most experienced hikers. It took as approximately one and a half hour to reach the chalet called Kreistenalm. The way lead us through the forest and along the ski slopes towards the top. Once we reached our destination, we got a beer and after a short break we headed back into the valley.

Back at the hotel we spent the rest of the afternoon at the spa area and then it was time for another fantastic dinner. Tonight we got a veggie burger and crepes filled with ice cream. After some drinks at the hotel bar, we went back to our room.
