The Alpina Alpendorf in St. Johann im Pongau can host company seminars for up to 70 people and large events for 120 to 650 guests. It is a family-run four-star superior hotel on the Alpendorf plateau in the Salzburg region, with a spa, a tennis hall and ski access on site.
Seminars and company events
The hotel presents itself as a regular address for company events. Its seminar room is lit by daylight and equipped with full meeting technology. Depending on the seating plan, it holds up to 70 people. The hotel also publishes a conference brochure that organisers can request.
Seminar catering follows the client's wishes. Options include a morning or afternoon coffee break with sweet and savory snacks, a business lunch served as a menu or a buffet, and an all-day drinks package. The hotel names a seminar contact, Sabine Schwarz, and a separate contact for the event hall.
For larger formats there is the multipurpose event hall. It covers 1,000 m² and is used for congresses, meetings, sales meetings, sports events and small trade fairs. Layout, fittings and decoration are adapted to each client. Lighting and stage technology can be varied, and the hall has a stage, a sound system, a projector and a large screen.
Rooms and capacities
Two spaces are described on the official site. The seminar room takes up to 70 people, depending on the seating. The event hall takes 120 to 650 people, with seating arranged to the organiser's wishes. The site does not give separate capacities for each layout, so ask for the seating plan you need.
Team-building is a strong point of the location. The hotel lists its own tennis hall, a sports rental service, an archery course, a ski school and a golf course next to the property. In winter, programs include ski guiding, tobogganing, snowshoe walks, curling and a tennis tournament. In summer they include guided hikes or e-bike tours, golf coaching, canyoning, rafting, an archery workshop and a barbecue on the terrace.
Accommodation
Guests stay in the hotel's own rooms, suites and apartments. The site says all rooms have been recently renovated. Sizes start at a 22 m² double room and a 30 m² comfort room with balcony, and go up to 40 m² superior rooms and family suites. The number of rooms is not stated on the pages we read. The spa covers 2,000 m² over two floors, which is useful for the evening after a full seminar day.
Catering
The hotel runs a panorama restaurant, several traditional dining rooms called Stuben, a bistro with pizzeria, a hotel bar and a wine cellar. Seminar and event catering is arranged individually with the team.
History and setting
