Then the Forsthofalm might be the place for you.
We’re looking for anindependent, strong-willed, and hands-on individual who will be responsible for our human resources management, support the management team, and—when needed—actively participate in daily hotel operations and take on leadership responsibilities.

- Further developing our corporate culture and shared values.
