Imagine the sun shining brightly as you sit in our beautiful winter garden. Only the background music and the laughter of relaxed guests accompany this moment. You’ve finally arrived on holiday. Holiday means a break, relaxation, and special moments of indulgence. Whether it’s the first drink on the terrace, a cool drink by the pool, or a sundowner with mountain views – such moments make your holiday special. But does it always have to be an alcoholic drink? More and more guests are discovering the lightness of non-alcoholic drinks – and enjoying them without compromise.
This is What a Holiday Feels like: Slightly Tipsy, Carefree, and Full of Enjoyment – Right?
Alcohol is somehow part of a holiday, isn’t it? We love and live by it, believing there’s no alternative to alcohol. But wait: Haven’t non-alcoholic drinks already become a trend and established themselves in our society? No heavy feeling accompanying you the next day. Only lightness, pure freshness, and pure joy of life.
Why Alcohol-Free on Holiday?
When it comes to drinks, there’s no need to compromise anymore: 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 deeper and recover better.
- Great variety: From sparkling lemonades to creative mocktails – alcohol-free is no longer just a last resort.
We at Hotel Alpina have also embraced this trend and offer you great 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 a non-alcoholic aperitif after a hike will refresh you. In winter, however, we invite you to warming creations in the winter garden for Christmas: non-alcoholic 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 snowy mountain landscape – completely without alcohol.
A Lifestyle that Inspires
“Sober Lifestyle” today doesn’t mean renunciation, but a conscious decision. More and more people are focusing on their well-being during their holiday, opting for healthy eating, exercise, or other sports activities – and alcohol-free enjoyment fits perfectly with this. Instead of a heavy drink, you choose lightness, clarity, and full flavour. Especially in the mountains, concentration is crucial. A clear head during high-altitude tours means more safety and more enjoyment of the experience. Non-alcoholic drinks are the ideal choice here: light, refreshing, and full of energy – exactly what you need for your mountain adventure in the Rauris Valley.
Creative Drinks at our Huts & Alpine Pastures
At our huts and alpine pastures, you no longer have to resort to classic cola. Here you’ll find homemade syrups, iced teas, herbal lemonades with mint or rosemary, and equally fruity mocktails. So you can toast with pleasure after a hike – and your head will remain pleasantly clear.
Choosing Alcohol-Free Means Choosing 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’re skiing with your family on holiday or exploring the high alpine mountains of Rauris at lofty heights – without alcohol, it’s pure freedom!
