First of all we would like to wish you a Very Happy New Year! Hopefully, despite the doom and gloom in the media, the Mayan predictions of impending disaster and the increasingily strange global weather patterns, we will look back on 2012 as another great year for biking, hiking and generally enjoying the Carinthian hospitality!

Hochalmspitze takes the Social Media honours @motorcyclelive for the second year running!
Our regular followers will remember that this time last year we were gloating a little because we had just heard that research done by @Iain_Harper for @HWdigital showed that our efforts at developing our Social Media platforms were certainly ahead of the game, at least as far as our fellow exhibitors @motorcyclelive were concerned. We [...]
Gone but not forgotten – Jane’s latest missive!
She may be already back in the UK, but she left this little gem behind for your entertainment, dear reader! AND a promise of Chapter 10 to come yet! Ch. 9 – Destiny grants us our wishes, but in it’s own way, in order to give us something beyond our wishes Sunday, as those who [...]
The Right to Reply
Interesting that we are writing yet another blog about guest reviews so soon – but this one from an entirely different standpoint! Yesterday we got (in very quick succession) our first set of very poor reviews (on 3 sites from the same couple). Of course we recognise that you can’t please all of the people [...]

The Further Misadventures of Jane – Part 2
Never At A Loss for Words (Back to the Beginning will have to wait) It’s Saturday and the sun is shining fit to beat the band, as it was yesterday and to match last year’s Gang of Four, we have the Magnificent Seven. Who are as lunatic a collection of oddities as their celluloid namesakes [...]
The best laid plans.. – how things sometimes just don’t go to plan, even at the Hochalmspitze!
Even in paradise it seems ‘the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley’ (Robert Burns). Not so long ago it seemed like we had our staffing situation all under control and looking good. Sadly chickens were being counted well before their time! Our first much anticipated cook turned out to be great [...]
Win 2 Nights B & B for 2 People – brighten up our garage door!
Boring isn’t it? So boring that we rarely, if ever, close it because we prefer to see the bikes inside it really! (The ones that don’t make it into the underground garage that is!) Nonetheless we would love to make it a more cheerful feature, but we haven’t an artistic bone in either of our [...]

After spending a lot of time catching up with all the pre-season chores, [...]
