At the Airstream on the roof of the alpine boutique hotel, it’s hardly surprising that a sea lion can now also be found here at SEPP. Unlike the caravan from 1976, the BYD model named Sealion 7 is a new classic. It’s available on the ground floor for rent for panoramic drives starting at the foot of the Hochkönig.

The house looks back with respect and forward with care.
Saluting the sun comes naturally at Puradies – the high plateau is one of the sunniest places in Leogang. Yoga is just one of the many heavenly activities you’ll find here. It not only stretches and strengthens the body, but also lifts the soul to new heights, which comes as no surprise, being this close to paradise.
Some places have a memory. The 1477 Reichhalter in Lana is one of them. First mentioned over 500 years ago, it has lived many lives: as an inn, a sawmill, a mill, and a butcher’s shop. Then, for a decade, silence. Its doors remained closed while life passed by until someone took a closer look, and brought it back to life.
Those who find themselves surrounded by greenery often feel it instinctively: this is where I belong.
