Our history
It all started in 1998
It all began in 1998, when Josef Juritz took the plunge into self-employment at the age of 26 and bought the Almrausch bed and breakfast. In the same year, the 3-star Hotel Almrausch took off. In the following years, the hotel was successively converted and expanded, renovated and refurbished - and today presents itself as a 4-star pleasure hotel with a high-quality culinary offer and extensive additional offers.
