Genießerhotel Die Forelle

Genießerhotel Die Forelle, a Gourmet Hotel on Lake Weissensee

Genießerhotel Die Forelle is a family-run property in Techendorf, beside Lake Weissensee in Austria’s Carinthia region. The hotel describes personalized attention as a lived family tradition rather than a slogan. Its offering combines accommodations, seasonal dining, and activities centered on cooking and local ingredients.

Accommodations: Suites and Rooms with Their Own Names

Accommodations include the Wiesen-Suite, Seerosen-Suite with gallery, Seerosen-Suite, Suite Seezauber, Zimmer Seezauber, Zimmer Himmelschlüssel, Zöhrer-Suite Lindenblüte, and Zöhrer-Suite Morgensonne. The website groups these stays under the idea of “living naturally” and provides a rates page and an availability calendar.

Berg.See.Küche: Seasonal Cooking and Local Ingredients

The restaurant is built around the Berg.See.Küche concept—mountain, lake, and cuisine. The company says it takes inspiration from the changing seasons and what nature offers at each moment, with a focus on simplicity without giving up flavor or quality. It emphasizes honest craftsmanship, appreciation for its suppliers, and “circular thinking” as a working tradition. Chef Hannes Müller leads the kitchen, which offers a Berg.See.DegustationsMenü tasting menu.

Classes, Culinary Events, and Publications

The hotel runs cooking classes in its own Koch.Werk.Statt space and a program of events called Tisch.Kultur.Tage. Listed activities include fall koch.work.shop.tage, a seasonal experience with the chef, and an outdoor table by the water. The property also offers a book about the flavors of Weissensee and an online seasonal soup recipe or class.

Wellness and Setting

The relaxation area is called Spa “Schonzeit” and offers massages and treatments, along with fitness and movement facilities. The property shares practical information about arriving and departing without a car, the Weissensee Premium Card, local weather, and a lake webcam, and also has a careers section.

Producers and the Hotel’s Own Farm

The company has dedicated sections for its producers and farmers and for its own agricultural operations. These appear within a “Familiär” section that also introduces the team. The connection to local producers supports the seasonal, local focus that defines the kitchen.

Seasonal Stays and Packages

Stay packages include kurzgenussFORELLE, one night, and 5für4FORELLE, five nights in fall, listed from €380.00 and €820.00, respectively, as well as the five-night fall koch.work.shop.tage package from €1,358.00. The website also lists specific winter availability dates and a calendar of cooking classes. Rates and availability vary by season.
