Holidays for people with allergies at the Alpenland Hotel & Apartments

Allergy-friendly hotel in the Ötztal valley

Situated at an altitude of 1,930 metres, the Hotel & Apartment Alpenland in Obergurgl offers the ideal setting for guests looking for an allergy-friendly hotel in Tyrol. In the crisp mountain air at the head of the Ötztal valley, your body and respiratory system will find the peace and quiet they need to regenerate deeply. The actual severity of allergy symptoms depends on the season, the weather and your individual allergies.

A low-pollen holiday in the high-mountain climate of Gurgl

At high altitudes in the Alps, the growing season and flowering period are shorter. As a result, pollen levels may be lower than in the valley. Allergy sufferers particularly appreciate the crisp mountain air and pleasant temperatures in Obergurgl during the summer months. Up-to-date pollen forecasts help them to plan their outdoor activities accordingly.

High-altitude climate

Altitude and house dust mites

The dry, high-altitude air in Obergurgl can create unfavourable conditions for house dust mites. The presence of certain mould spores may also be lower at high altitudes in the Alps. However, the actual allergen levels also depend on the furnishings, the indoor climate and the cleaning regime.

A restful night’s sleep in the mountain air 

At an altitude of just under 2,000 metres, the summer weather here often brings milder days and cooler nights than in the lower-lying parts of the valley. This creates pleasant conditions for a restful night’s sleep and an active break in the upper Ötztal. 

Culinary

Allergy-friendly cuisine for those with gluten and lactose intolerance

The catering service at the Hotel & Apartment Alpenland caters individually for food intolerances. Guests can enjoy meals that are expertly tailored to coeliac disease or lactose intolerance.
Please note that a strictly vegan diet cannot be provided. 

Active altitude training and mountain hiking in the Ötztal valley

There are more than 150 kilometres of signposted walking trails around Gurgl. The high altitude and the village’s location at the head of the valley offer numerous opportunities for walks, mountain hikes and fitness training sessions.
After an active day, the alpenRelax wellness area, with its various saunas, an aromatic steam bath and relaxation rooms, provides the perfect setting for unwinding.
