Slowdown Value: Kitzbühel experience redefined
In Slowdown Insider, we wanted to make sure that Kitzbühel is actually a "slowdown" destination offering a unique experience of the Alpine world. It proved to be so, but not in the way you might imagine.
Kitzbühel, with its Hahnenkamm slope, is certainly not just the biggest prize that alpine skiers compete for in winter. It's not just a luxury destination for its lavish events or a set of Hollywood movies. It is above all the nature and the laid-back life you can experience both in summer and winter. Just a step away from the town center, you will always find a very different Kitzbuhel: calm, charming, and relaxing. Seebichel is inspired by the rich history of tourism, and the people coming here from the cities to get some fresh air, to retreat somewhere peaceful and quiet, and to just lie by the lake in summer and rest.
“This large holiday home is dedicated to imaginative thinkers, free spirits, and creative couples that enjoy slow life to the fullest."
Slowdown value: The coal black house by the black lake
Imagine the most creative and cozy Alpine living - you will find it in a coal-black house Seebichl. They have taken up the challenge to offer the authentic Kitzbühel rest and relaxation and turned it into a starting point, transforming their home into the Grand holiday house that captivates not with typical Alpine tradition but with an authentic and comfortable lifestyle.
The brothers painted the house black to replicate the effect of looking at the surface of a dark mountain lake. Green and black, contrasting and complementing each other, soothing and unique, as in nature. The interior of the hotel showcases design features from the times that historically made the place special. Since the Witzman family spends most of their time here, they have decorated and furnished the house to accommodate their own lifestyle. The colors, the unique furnishing, the flowers, and the surrounding greenery are an inexhaustible source of positive energy that overwhelms and calms you the moment you walk up to the reception desk. You know you've come... home.
Slowdown value: The good life of the past woven into a modern lifestyle.
Interior Design is a strong storyteller and "slowdown" vibe maker. At Seebichl two brothers had their unique vision of how to create something inspiring in their homeland. They have taken their family home, the place they grew up, painting it carbon black, and filling it with designer furniture from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. The result is a courageous creation of the finest design that connected the good life of the past with the lives of modernity. The perfect combination of interior design allows us to slow down but inspires us in the here and now.
"Seebichl was once Alfons Walde’s architectural offering and also Leni Riefenstahl’s film studio. Alfons Walde is considered one of the most important representatives of Austrian modernism.
The large-format pictures with snow and mountain landscapes and his famous sports subjects are among the main works presented in the Kitzbühel Museum." SEEBICHL
"Witzmann brother's playground of personal creativity and ideas setting the standard of slow living getaway."

SLOWDOWN HOTELS
Slowdown value: An Ultimate place to have dinner
The heart of Seebichl is its restaurant, where you can have breakfast in the morning and treat yourself to one of the most enjoyable events of the day in the evening. Here you literally find yourself on the sunny side of the Alps, and if you were to remove the mountains from the horizon, you would certainly be forgiven if you were to believe you were sitting on a sun terrace by the sea, enjoying the sunset.
The colors and interior design are carefully chosen to complement the atmosphere, which is created by the good food and drinks offered at dinner. Here you will experience a different Kitzbühel, the authentic one, harkening to the times past. The Seebichl's sun terrace will also connect you with local guests, as the restaurant is open to outside guests in the evenings.
THE menu
"Over the years, an independent kitchen culture has developed in Seebichl. Uncompromising regional ingredients blend with new ideas and ancient recipes, resulting in daily handmade delicacies, because the time to eat well is time well spent."

Slowdown value: Balcony mood
The view from the Neval room crosses the greenery of the nearby forest to the mountain peaks in the distance. An especially unique feature of the room is its balcony painted in black, sporting furniture in contrasting colors of red and sky blue. Typical coffee tables have also been retained. They can be neatly tucked against the wall or create a typical Alpine scene that looks just as unique today as it did before.

Summer by the BLACK LAKE
Seebichl is located in the immediate vicinity of Schwarsee / Black Lake, calling to you from across a nearby meadow and through the forest – the trees, the undergrowth, and the pebbles have brought you to a beautiful shore with special "slowdown effect".
Slowdown value: Slowdown trails & panoramic views of Kitzbühel
Seebichl is also an excellent starting point for countless quiet trails leading through the surrounding forests, through the valley villages, and up the surrounding slopes, to reveal views of the Austrian Alps. For mountain and gravel biking enthusiasts, Seebichel is a true paradise, best explored with some insider tips by Maximillian.
"Kitz is not always as touristy as you might think. Of course, there is the Hahnenkamm race, the tennis tournament, and the many golf courses. But the Kitz has so much more! Leave trampled tracks and tourist locations behind and just explore a little bit – won’t be long until you discover the Kitz’s hidden gems. The Witzmann brothers have created their own "Guide", worth reading, both in summer and winter."
