High. Pure Indulgence. These three words perfectly describe the Interalpen-Hotel Tyrol on the Seefeld plateau. And rightly so, as I discovered during my short break. These three words perfectly capture what the hotel stands for and what awaits you there. Each word applies to so much in and around this 5-star superior luxury hotel, situated at an altitude of 1,300 meters. The "high" refers not only to the location, the "indulgence" not only to the culinary experiences, and the "pure" to the straightforwardness and focus on the essentials.
I would love to take you with me on my travelogue up to the "Interalpen" and share how my daughter and I experienced our short stay at the hotel.
