"Our gym is outside, in the mountains." That's what we told guests for years whenever they asked about a gym at the hotel. In 2025, as part of a renovation, we finally decided to build one after all. Looking back, we should have done it much sooner.
People who come to Zillertal on vacation head into the mountains to enjoy nature and the fresh air. For a long time, an air-conditioned gym simply wasn't on our radar. With countless hiking trails and ski slopes right here, there are plenty of ways to stay active. So why would anyone want to spend their time on a treadmill? On top of that, there was a practical reason: we just didn't have a suitable space for it.
More and more often, guests asked us: "Why don't you have a gym?"
Not because they didn't want to go outside, but because they have a routine and like to stick with it on vacation too. For many people, a daily workout is just part of the day, whether in the morning or the evening, and this way they don't have to plan the rest of their day around it.
In winter, our guests now have another advantage: they can get a good workout in no matter what the weather is doing.
We equipped our gym with Technogym machines. For cardio, there are two treadmills, an exercise bike, a rowing machine and an elliptical. For strength training, we chose dual machines: one lets you work your chest and shoulders, the other your legs. We also installed a Technogym TV that lets you pick a workout and follow along on the screen.
With this setup, we were able to make the most of the space we had.
