Your perfect motorbike holidays

In our house, we share a passion and the chores. This is how we discovered our shared enthusiasm for motorcycling. Our motorbike guests therefore profit from double “advisory power“ today.

Our location, far away from the famous but overcrowded bike hotspots, is often treated as an insider tip. But our hotel is not hidden away at a secret location. On the contrary, my expert knowledge of our extensive gravel path network attracts friends of a sophisticated drift angle on a regular basis.

I have been infected with the 2-wheel virus since I turned 15. I have owned many bikes since then - from motocross and various supermotos to one or the other racer. A cure for this motorbike virus has not been found yet and will not be found for a long time.

I am one of the MoHo founding members. It seems that I was and still am responsible for maintaining the quota of women within the group. But when it comes to bikes, I prefer proper mean machines.

Motorbikes have played an important part in my life since the days of my youth. Whether on the many surrounding alpine passes or every now and then on a race track. My long-standing routine is passed on to my guests in safety trainings.

We, my brother Stefan, my cousin Erwin and I, celebrate bike culture (with and without motor) in our hotel. Despite having our own fleet, we do not put high importance on the machine as such - it’s the lifestyle that we like.

We couldn’t imagine a hotel without motorbike guests. Here, at Schönauer Hof, is the motorbike at centre stage. We and our tour guides offer an unmatched range of guided tours of all levels of difficulties.

Motorcycling is one of my passions, “MoHo - Motorbike Hotels“ is the other. Together with some colleagues, I played a significant part in the foundation 20 years ago. I have been chairman of our group since then.

Whether the Erzberg mountain or the “Romanics“, my stomping ground is off road. My wife on the other hand is out and about on the road - alone and with our guests. So, it comes as no surprise that we met when motorcycling. A joy that‘s shared is a joy made double!

A real Zilltertal Valley local must be called Kröll and can ride a motorbike. Well, this is what I say :-)) We have so many beautiful mountains and countless curves at our front door - enough to share them with our guests, which we love to do of course!

As a good host, I sometimes have to be horrible to my guests. Especially when we leave on a tour to the Grossglockner at the crack of dawn to experience an unforgettable sunrise - all is forgiven after that.

As a trained mechanic and passionate biker, I knew early on what guests I would like to welcome in our hotel. Thus, we and some colleagues got together and called our group ”Vier Häuser für zwei Räder - Four houses for two wheels”, which became MoHo 10 years later.

Some people say that I take anything with a saddle. This might be because we have a stable full of horses next to our BMW test drive centre. Although: both have to do with horsepower. My sons definitely prefer horsepower on two wheels.

"Curves and Delight" is the motto my wife, Nadja, and I have chosen for our country hotel. This is exactly what we would like to offer our guests every day. So, on your motorbike and off to Altenmarkt.

I am on a successful mission convincing more and more bikers that high mountain summits are not a must for extensive curvy pleasure. The density of curvy labyrinths here on the Mühlviertel Alm is unsurpassable.

His bike and his drums are Mexx´ great passion. He manages the Berghof Brunner together with Tina, who is a dedicated airbrush artist in her spare time. Their home turf is the most southern corner of Carinthia, neighbouring South Styria and Slovenia. This is the region they know!

I am now a more leisurely biker, which suits me quite well. At least, this is what the others say… Our tour guide is always ready for anyone who prefers a racier pace on our guided tours.

With your home high up in the mountains directly at the Timmels Pass road and always a trial bike or motorbike in your garage, what else would you do but motorcycling. And as we have an amazing motorbike museum right at our doorstep, our guests have no other choice but to motorcycle too :-)

If you grow up directly on a pass road, you are literally injected with a passion for the motorbikes roaring by. It was clear to me from the beginning: if I took over the family business one day, the biker guests would be number 1 for me.

I have been a motorbike enthusiast for as long as I can remember. In my youth, I wound my way up the Mendelpass countless times with my biker friends or we drove to Lake Garda for a cappuccino. Crazy times that I never want to forget.

Here at the entrance to the Dolomites, biking is almost mandatory for local people. But what lies even closer to my heart is the ART of being a host. It is my purpose in life and brings pleasure not only to my motorcycling guests.

“Forza Italia” is my motto when it comes to motorbikes. I started with a yellow Vespa at the age of 14 and now have a Ducati Monster from which I “check that everything is in order” on the many Dolomite passes on our doorstep.

Although my “biking heydays” are over, I’m still very passionate about motorbikes. Primarily because our region, the northern Friuli, is still a secret location for lovers of bends. Better than the Dolomites but without any traffic :-)

The joy of sharing my personal interest in motorbikes with our guests was motivation enough to accomplish the MoHo tour guide training. Thus, there is nothing in the way of joint tours here in the Allgäu and tri-border region.

Today’s youth would call it “hardcore“ what we used to do on and with our bikes when we were their age. We have now adjusted our biking style and machines to our age. Well, almost say my guests when I weave downhill taking the curves of the Gerlos Pass on my Goldwing.

I share my passion for two wheels, whether motorised or operated by muscle power, with my 3 brothers. In the end, it was inevitable that we devoted ourselves to our guests with the same passion.

The name of our hotel translates to hunter’s lodge and has nothing to do with my hobby. Because it would have been called “Bikerhof“ (biker’s lodge) otherwise. Still, our guests enjoy all amenities of a real motorbike hotel. And the hunting we leave in the hands of the senior boss.

Although I love the mountain roads and passes in South Tyrol, my preferred biking territory is away from these paved roads. That’s why one of my biggest dreams is to drive through the Sahara on my motorbike one time. But it will take a while for this dream to come true.

Even though my knee injury forces me to drive the passes in the Dolomites and around Lake Garda on four wheels now, the two-wheel tradition in our hotel is still alive! The preferred means of transport of my son Andreas are trial & motocross bikes.

I spent some time in America when I was younger and a Harley was compulsory there. Yet here in my home country, 10 minutes from Stilfserjoch, the Enduro is a better option. I now dedicate my scarce leisure time to both bikes and vintage vehicles on 4 wheels.

I have been driving motorbikes for over 20 years now, and I have been running a biker-friendly hotel since 2009. As passionate motorbike and Vespa driver, my hobby is explaining the tours to my guests. I am really happy when the bikers return in the evening and tell me about their successful tour.

When you see me as pedal pusher in my racing cycle outfit at the hotel, then I have just enjoyed my second-favourite hobby. Because number 1 is of course my motorised bike. After all, the beautiful curves and tours around Füssen are still best enjoyed on a motorbike.

The seed of my passion was, like most Italians, a Vespa. Touched up of course! At that time, you could legally ride a moped aged 14. After continually increasing the cylinder capacity over the years, I at some point ended up with one of the first Multistradas.

Motorbikes have always played a role in my life since my childhood. The best role in fact, as I met my wife Sandra on one of the many motorbike trips to Italy! Now we welcome our biker guests together.

I inherited the passion for motorcycling from my father. I still have fond memories of my first excursions as a child, as a passenger on his Motoguzzi 500, at that time without a helmet and on roads that had barely been asphalted.

Detractors may say that the bike virus has not just affected me slightly but rather completely taken its hold on me. They might even be right when you look at the moped, cruiser and adventure bike in the garage :-). But what should I do? You need the right equipment for every purpose.

Being at home in the Triumph heartland of “Newchurch“, I have of course a must-have British beauty in my garage. But I love all bikes just as much since our legendary bikers‘ get-together became the independent “Club of Newchurch“. And I like my guests’ bikes especially :-)

If there was a jab against the bike virus from Milwaukee/USA, I would refuse to have it! Although calling 3 motorbikes my own, it’s worth thinking about it. But then again, our garage is so big that there is plenty of space even for our guests’ bikes.

When your dad has 150 vintage cars and motorbikes in a museum in the hotel’s cellar, then no further explanation is needed. At least not when it comes to my passion for anything on wheels. It doesn’t matter how many wheels as long as it is fast.
