Hotel Beim Winkler – Motorcycle holidays in the heart of the Southern Alps
At the Hotel Beim Winkler in Tröpolach, motorcyclists can enjoy a holiday that is perfectly tailored to their passion. Nestled in the impressive mountain world of Carinthia and located in the middle of the well-known biker village of Tröpolach, the hotel is an ideal starting point for winding tours through Austria, Italy and Slovenia. Here, the motorbike fun begins as soon as you leave the courtyard – and only ends when the day full of impressions comes to a leisurely close.
Host Herfried Stattmann, himself a passionate motorcyclist, is the fourth generation to run this traditional establishment. His enthusiasm for biking and his extensive touring experience make him the perfect contact for anyone who wants to discover the most beautiful routes in the region.
Tradition, hospitality and a genuine Carinthian atmosphere
The hotel looks back on a long history: the building was first mentioned as an inn as early as 1760. Today, the hotel combines tradition with warm hospitality and an atmosphere in which motorcyclists immediately feel at home.
At Winkler, the day begins with a rich breakfast buffet and a friendly Carinthian smile. In the evening, guests enjoy regional, national and international specialities, prepared with love. Typical Carinthian delicacies such as Kasnudeln, Reindling, homemade bacon or spicy homemade sausages are of course also part of the culinary offerings.
Several cosy dining rooms, a winter garden and, in summer, an inviting terrace provide the perfect setting to round off an eventful day of touring together.
Motorcycle adventure right on your doorstep
The region around Nassfeld is one of the most varied motorcycle areas in the Alps. Just a few minutes after leaving the hotel, the Nassfeld Pass, one of the most beautiful routes to Italy, awaits.
From here, countless possibilities for spectacular tours open up: even a spontaneous detour to the Adriatic Sea is possible – around 150 kilometres separate Nassfeld from the coast. There are numerous stops along the way: a stroll through the sunny town of Lienz, a visit to the Porsche Museum in Gmünd or a break at one of Carinthia's crystal-clear lakes.
