Since its transformation from a modest farm to a renowned five-star hotel, Hotel Krallerhof has epitomised innovation and excellence in the hospitality industry. Now managed by the fourth generation of the Altenberger family, the hotel continues to push the boundaries of wellness tourism, offering a year-round retreat for the whole family that emphasises health, relaxation and adventure.
With its latest Regeneration & Longevity programme, launched in May 2024, Hotel Krallerhof is once again raising the bar in well-being experiences in the stunning Austrian countryside. By merging the latest scientific advancements in biohacking with luxurious hospitality, Hotel Krallerhof aims to enhance both the lifespan and quality of life of its guests. Its holistic approach focuses on the harmonious interplay between body and mind, with the goal of improving everyday vitality alongside mental and physical balance.
The Regeneration & Longevity programme addresses six key factors for optimal health: cellular energy optimisation, inflammation reduction, restful sleep promotion, strength and agility enhancement, intestinal health improvement, and emotional balance support. Personalised consultations help guests identify areas for improvement and integrate these practices into their daily lives for lasting benefits. For instance, the intestinal health focus is ideal for boosting the immune system and reducing chronic inflammation or diabetes risk, while strength and agility targets individuals aiming to maximise physical performance and maintain an active lifestyle.
The Regeneration & Longevity programme features cutting-edge therapies such as Whole Body Cryotherapy, IHHT-altitude training, and red light therapy. These techniques, often reserved for elite athletes, are now available to guests seeking a comprehensive wellness experience. The programme also includes workshops, lectures, and sessions with external experts who share insights into achieving a long and healthy life.
