Alpine specialists with motorcycle expertise

Posted by

Since the collaboration between Kurviger, MOTORRADSTRASSEN and MoHo – Motorcycle Hotels on the “Motorcycle Touring Atlas of the Alps”, produced exclusively for Louis, the popular MoHo accommodations are also represented at Kurviger. The 25th anniversary of MoHo is a good opportunity to present the history and the concept of the popular accommodation providers in detail. At the end of the blog post you will find the Kurviger links to the specialized accommodations – each MoHo partner house is presented with 2 strong Kurviger tours.

MfG MoHo – 25 years and not a bit quiet!

“MfG, Sincerely yours, The world lies at our feet, Because we’re into it, To a life full of smoke and mirrors”: this or something similar is how Die Fantastischen Vier stormed the charts once again over two decades ago. And the hearts of their fans once again, of course. Four fantastic guys from took us by storm much earlier with the first ever Bikerhotel collaboration.

Pioneering role

It all started in 1986, when the hotelier friends had already taken on a proverbial pioneering role as tour guides. However, the friends became real pioneers when they joined forces to form “4 hotels for 2 wheels”. Specialized motorcycle hotels that jointly present themselves to their guests were completely new territory at the time.

Thanks to the attention gained, more and more landlords wanted to join this cooperation, but had to be denied due to the number specified in the name. In 1996, the inevitable happened: after an extensive prelude, more colleagues were finally accepted and the original was renamed “MoHo – Motorrad Hotels”. Even if it has not been passed down, we are sure that this christening went off with a lot of smoke and mirrors.

Arriving in the quarter-century class

With the veterans Christian Schmidt from Hotel Solaria in Obertauern and Günther Fresacher from Landhaus Jausern in Saalbach, two of the four founding members are still on board today. The two pioneers are justifiably proud of how their humble boy band beginnings three and a half decades ago and the founding of MoHo 25 years ago have developed into what is now the leading specialist group in motorcycle hotels. Passion knows no expiration date here!

Character heads need helmets instead of hoods

What toques are to some, stars are to others, helmets are to MoHo. Because even if we like to reach for the stars, what counts for us first and foremost is the biking expertise of our preferred hosts and the perfect location. Get your priorities right – when the choice is large, you need reliable labels. Thanks to the three MoHo categories “3, 4 and 5 helmets”, we know what to expect: and so it is clear at a glance that the hotels are worth a trip, a detour or at least a stop!

What really sets the 4- and 5-helmet MoHo members and their hosts apart is their passion for biking. Because they are all heads of character and prefer to wear helmets themselves. They are equally driven by the irrepressible urge to be their guests’ discovery assistants. Good first-hand advice combined with a wealth of experience and a sharp pinch of insider knowledge is the name of the game in these specialized establishments. Disappointing tour experiments are definitely not on the agenda here. No wonder, when the boss of the house himself has already tried and tested every tour for his guests umpteen times. He is also happy to drop everything to take you to the hottest spots in his region as a guide.

Real legends & lively rookies

Today, the original has more than 50 gas(t)givers, as they proudly call themselves. The territory of the “MoHo Motorcycle Hotels” knows hardly any borders and extends across Austria, northern , southern and even beyond. This leaves us with just one crucial question:

Where should we go next?

Back to one of the many MoHo specialists that we have already visited several times? For example, Andi from Drei Hacken in the Waldviertel, Kai from Schönauer Hof in the Lechtal or Erich from Landhaus Anna in South ? Or perhaps we should take a look at the “young wild ones”, who we have already heard a lot about. Either young, like Armin from Hotel Florian on the Sella Ronda in the (a little mainstream is a must) or supposedly wild, but not quite so young (more of a legend), like Walter from Sonnleiten in the Zillertal?

Or are we brave enough to venture into unknown territory with Martina and Mexx from Berghof Brunner on the Austrian-Slovenian border? A wonderful area, completely without traffic, because it hasn’t yet been checked on the virtual map by youtubing, instagramming moped riders.

Oh, and then there are the MoHo newcomers! The fresh members, who have what it takes to become absolute favorite destinations and also deserve our attention. Not only because they always provide a breath of fresh air and variety in the group, but also because they are at home in the most wonderful places: Upper Styria, Paznaun, Arlberg and East Tyrol. So put on 3, 4 or 5 helmets and off you go!
