Ferrari Club Austria
The days and nights at Schloss Pichlarn were an unadulterated joy for all participants of the spring excursion. In addition to the advantages of the hotel, such as its location, accessibility and offers, it was above all the friendliness of the staff as well as the organizational and culinary support that impressed us.
The possibilities of protected parking in a hall free of pillars, the permission to land helicopters on the hotel grounds and the optimal setting for presentations of special exhibits in the castle park are to be emphasized as extraordinary and unique.
The 20-Ghost Club
On its “Austro-Hungarian Empire Tour”, the “20-Ghost Club”, the oldest Rolls Royce Club in the world, made a stop at Schloss Hotel Pichlarn. Ourselves and our almost 100-year old cars felt best treated in the hotel. We enjoyed the high-level atmosphere as well as the tailor-made program, which left nothing to be desired. The historic and countryside ambience were the perfect starting point for our tour through the famous “Salzkammergut” and to the “emperor’s villa” at Bad Ischl as well for the hill climb on the “Erzhergzog Johann Street” in the national park “Sölktäler”.
