HOTEL DAS FALKENSTEIN BECOMES CORE KAPRUN
WHAT’S CHANGING AT THE HEART OF THE FORMER “DAS FALKENSTEIN” HOTEL
The last season under the name Falkenstein is now history—and yes, this is and will be a big step toward an exciting future for the new hosts.
One thing is certain—this isn’t a farewell. Rather, it’s a wonderful update to a new, active way of life.
“We’re naturally taking with us everything that defines this place, this region, and the people of Pinzgau: the mountains, the exercise, the peace and quiet afterward, and, above all, the shared moments that will stay with us,” says host Petra Wimmer-Sochor, summing it up perfectly.
WELCOME TO CORE KAPRUN.
Petra, Steffen, and Christopher—they’ve been the on-site hosts since November 2025. With a new concept, a new name, and plenty of ideas that will help create a special place over the next few years.
As a family-run hotel deeply rooted in the region, both the family and the team are familiar with the area and are on hand to offer tips and advice.
The excitement is palpable everywhere—because we can finally officially welcome guests under the new name “CORE Kaprun.”
After a short break, including some minor renovations to the bathrooms and kitchen, we’ll be back in top form starting July 3, 2026. And don’t forget: “When your personal CORE is right, your sense of well-being is in balance too,” says host Steffen Meinhardt with confidence.
THE IDEA
CORE – the core, the center, the heart, the balance.
CORE Kaprun serves as the foundation for both joyful movement and the rewarding rest that follows. Of course, enjoyment and open conversations are also essential. Because we want to create many shared moments—and make them last.
Our motto is clear:
“We share moments.” So is our rhythm: “Fast. Slow. Enjoy.”
Personal balance
finds its core here. Everyone decides for themselves what the right personal approach is at any given moment. Fast? Slow? Enjoy?
Active, Recover, or Chill out?
This question is completely unnecessary at CORE Kaprun. Because here, you check into the lifestyle of your personal feel-good balance. Want to go full throttle? You’ve got it. Want a real recovery program? We’ve got that covered, too. Want to enjoy life to the fullest? That’s standard here. Yes, we live by the motto: “Everything is possible, nothing is mandatory,” as host Christopher Sochor succinctly sums up the core idea.
While the possibilities between the mountain (3029) and the valley (5710) are incredibly diverse, your body, mind, and soul naturally follow the alpine spirit of nature.
Find your CORE. Welcome to Kaprun.

THE FEDERSPIEL BECOMES CORE TABLE
