Explorer Hotel Hinterstoder

Explorer Hotel Hinterstoder sits in the Pyhrn-Priel ski region of Upper Austria, directly at the foot of the Hinterstoder slopes and the Höss cable car. The 2017-built property is part of the Explorer Hotels chain — a climate-friendly active-sports concept aimed at skiers, mountain bikers and hikers who want practical kit and a working wet-area rather than in-room luxury. Wellness is full-service: sauna, steam room and treatment rooms in the spa, plus a dedicated fitness centre. The breakfast is a free buffet (6:30–10:30), there's a water dispenser and snack bar, and the property keeps ski storage, bike storage and bike cleaning on site. Vegan and vegetarian options run through the kitchen, and the building uses double-glazed windows and a comprehensive recycling and food-waste policy. Hinterstoder is one of Upper Austria's quieter ski valleys — a base for Pyhrn-Priel skiing in winter and Totes Gebirge hiking, mountain biking and climbing in summer, with the Wurzeralm and Höss ski areas both close by. Linz is roughly 90 minutes away by car.
