Alcohol-Free Drinks: Enjoyment Without Alcohol All Year Round
Imagine the sun shining from the sky and you are sitting in our beautiful winter garden. Only the background music and the laughter of relaxed guests accompany this moment. You have finally arrived on holiday. A holiday means time out, relaxation, and special moments of enjoyment. Whether it is the first drink on the terrace, a cool beverage by the pool, or a sundowner with a view of the mountains – such moments make a holiday special. But does there always have to be alcohol in the glass? More and more guests are discovering the lightness of alcohol-free drinks – and enjoying them without any compromise.
This is what a holiday feels like: slightly tipsy, carefree, and full of enjoyment – or is it?
Alcohol is somehow part of a holiday, isn’t it? We love it, live it, and believe there is no alternative to alcohol. But wait: haven’t alcohol-free drinks long been a trend and arrived in our society? No heavy feeling accompanying you the next day. Only lightness, pure freshness, and full joie de vivre.
Why Alcohol-Free on Holiday?
When it comes to drinks, there is no longer any need to compromise: alcohol-free is both a trend and a lifestyle.
- More energy: You start the next day of your holiday refreshed and clear-headed.
- Health & well-being: Without alcohol, you sleep more deeply and recover better.
- Great variety: From sparkling lemonades to creative mocktails – alcohol-free is no longer just a fallback option.
We at Hotel Alpina have also embraced this trend and offer you wonderful classics as well as newly interpreted signature drinks – alcohol-free, creative, and truly delicious.
Alcohol-Free in Summer & Winter
Alcohol-free enjoyment suits every season. In summer, a sparkling lemonade on the terrace or an alcohol-free aperitivo after a hike refreshes you. In winter, we invite you to warming creations in the winter garden at Christmas: alcohol-free punch with cinnamon, oranges, and cloves, or a ginger tea. This way, you feel the warmth from within and can enjoy the view of the snow-covered mountain landscape – completely without alcohol.
A Lifestyle That Inspires
“Sober lifestyle” today does not mean deprivation, but a conscious choice. More and more people pay attention to their well-being on holiday, focus on healthy eating, exercise, or additional sports activities – and alcohol-free enjoyment fits perfectly. Instead of a heavy drink, you choose lightness, clarity, and full flavor. Especially in the mountains, concentration is crucial. A clear head on high-altitude tours means more safety and also more joy in the experience. Alcohol-free drinks are the ideal choice here: light, refreshing, and full of energy – exactly right for your mountain adventure in the Rauris Valley.
Creative Drinks at Our Mountain Huts & Alpine Pastures
At our mountain huts and alpine pastures, you no longer have to reach for the classic cola. Here you can expect homemade syrups, iced teas, herbal lemonades with mint or rosemary, and fruity mocktails. This way, you can toast with enjoyment after a hike – and your head remains pleasantly clear.
Those who enjoy alcohol-free choose freedom.
A holiday without alcohol means choosing a holiday in absolute freedom. Alcohol-free means being able to master all upcoming activities without restrictions: whether you are skiing with the family on holiday or whether you are in the high alpine mountains of Rauris – without alcohol is pure freedom!

At Hotel Alpina, you also sleep on high-quality health mattresses that optimally support your body. This way, you wake up refreshed – and are ready for new adventures.
