Culinary & Health
Enjoy without worries: We specialize in food intolerances. At our hotel, you eat safely, deliciously, and without compromise.
I have celiac disease or lactose intolerance β is the food safe?
Yes, absolutely! We guarantee strict separation and know about cross-contamination. You will receive a full meal, not a "make-do" solution. Please specify when booking.

Yes, please do inform us of any intolerances when booking.
Are there lactose-free and gluten-free alternatives for breakfast and dinner?
Yes, lactose-free milk and yoghurt are always available at the buffet. We are happy to prepare gluten-free bread on request and after prior registration.
Does this catering cost extra?

Can I book without a 3/4 pension?
Yes, we also offer stays with breakfast or just overnight. As we additionally offer an afternoon snack, we refer to it as 3/4 board instead of classic half board.

Can children get special meal requests?
We are not a classic children's hotel and therefore do not offer our own children's menu. However, alternatives can be discussed directly with the kitchen.

Vegetarian is standard for us. You will find creative meat-free options in the menu every day. Let us know before your arrival and we will be happy to conjure up a suitable menu for you. Vegan is not an option for us.

What makes the Mandarfner Hof a "boutique hotel"?
It's simple: We focus on quality over quantity. We are deliberately not a huge hotel complex, but a small, fine retreat with personality!
As a Boutique Hotel, we are βnot a run-of-the-mill placeβ. Our rooms and suites (such as the Berg Loft, the Mutter Erde or the Petite Maison) are unique, furnished with real natural materials and lots of attention to detail. With us, you are not a room number, but a guest with friends. Here you can enjoy peace, experience individual design and fully focus on yourself.
How sustainable is a holiday at Mandarfner Hof?
We love our nature, after all we live from and with it.
That is why we focus strongly on regionality: Many products at the breakfast come directly from Pitztal farmers or from the nearby area. Short delivery routes can simply be tasted.
In addition, you can leave your car with us (there are e-charging stations directly at the house), as the hiking and ski bus stops almost at the door. A holiday with us is a conscious use of resources, without foregoing enjoyment.
What are the cancellation conditions?
Our cancellation conditions vary depending on the rate/offer and season (e.g. last minute, early bird, Christmas/Carnival) as well as for packages; the conditions displayed in the IBE during the booking process or at the latest upon the deposit request/transfer (if the deposit is not made directly via the IBE) shall prevail.
Standard rates (3/4 board, room/breakfast, overnight stay): free of charge up to 91 days before arrival (deposit will be retained), 90β42 days 30%, 41β14 days 40%, 13β10 days 70%, 9β5 days 90%, from 4 days/No-Show 100%.
Is the Wi-Fi fast enough for "Workation" or home office?
Definitively.
We know that sometimes work can call even on holiday. Our high-speed WLAN (fibre optic) is free and stable throughout the hotel and in the rooms.
Whether you just need to check your emails or have a video call: The quiet corners in our room (especially in the Waldsuite) are perfect for combining work and travel in the Pitztal. Work first, then the mountain!
I am a freerider or ski tourer, do you have the right ski cellar?
Absolutely! The Mandarfner Hof is your ideal base camp in the Pitztal. We have a modern ski cellar.
The location is unbeatable for athletes: We are opposite the Rifflseebahn and only about 50 metres from the Pitztal Glacier bus stop. So you can start almost from your bed to the slopes. You will of course get current information about avalanche conditions and weather from us in the morning before you head out into the terrain.
How far is it to the lift & do I need a car?
Your car is on holiday (free parking at the hotel). We are directly opposite the Rifflseebahn. The bus to the glacier stops almost at the door (50 metres away).
Are the ski passes for the Pitztal Glacier & Rifflsee included in the price?
No, ski passes are generally not included in the accommodation price. But we have a tip for you: The mountain railways use a dynamic pricing model.
This means: The earlier you book, the less you pay. We strongly recommend that you buy your ticket before your arrival in the online ticket shop of the Pitztal Glacier Cable Car. This way, you can save up to 30% compared to the box office price. Nice side effect: You avoid the queue and can go directly through the turnstile with the QR code.

Can I store luggage before check-in or after check-out?
This is usually possible. Please clarify this directly with us on-site or before your arrival.
Is my dog allowed?
Yes, dogs are very welcome! Your four-legged friend is allowed in the room and the lobby (but not in the restaurant or wellness areas). We charge a final cleaning fee of β¬ 15.00 (summer) or β¬ 20.00 (winter) per day.
