History
The Aktiv & Wellnesshotel Bergfried grew from a small family pension that the Stock family opened from their farm in Lanersbach, in the Tux valley of Austria's Tyrol, in 1958. It installed the rear Zillertal's first swimming pool in 1969 and had reached sixty rooms by 1971.
Now a third-generation family business, the hotel added a holiday villa in 2006, acquired the 400-year-old Bergfriedalm in 2009, and upgraded to four-star-superior status in 2017. A major rebuild and expansion celebrated the family's sixtieth anniversary with a grand reopening on 14 December 2018, bringing the property to seventy rooms and Tux's largest infinity sky-pool.
