Housekeeping

Marianne Viehhauser

Always in a good mood and looking after the well-being of our guests, Marianne is responsible for housekeeping at the GROSSARLER HOF. Cleanliness and cosiness are always her top priorities, and she is the best contact person for hiking tips in the Grossarl Valley.

Reception

Theresa Gollegger

Theresa joined us in 2015 for a period of work experience and has been at the GROSSARLER HOF ever since. Since Summer 2021 she has been in charge of reception. Theresa is a master of keeping a cool head even when the phones are busy and the e-mails are piling up.

Spa team

Sonja Hettegger

The management of the Erlenreich Relax & SPA is in good hands with Sonja Hettegger. Since the opening of the hotel, the experienced, trained masseuse has been pampering you with her team of first-class beauticians who put their heart and soul into your well-being and relaxation!

Hotel management

As of 1 June, we welcome Michiel Berkers as the new hotel director at GROSSARLER HOF. He gained his extensive experience in the hotel business, gastronomy and tourism, among other things, as deputy hotel director and head of an Austrian tourism association.

Originally hailing from Lower Austria, Johannes Haindl cooked at top restaurants and hotels in places including Switzerland (Hotel Sunstar, Wengen; 4*), Kitzbühel (Hotel Zur Tenne, Kitzbühel; 5*) and Vienna/Lower Austria (Linsberg Asia) before joining our team here in Großarl.

At the end of the season the team members with the most points can look forward to a range of prizes such as day trips and gourmet dinners. Our little way of saying a big thank you!
