My take
Completely different experiences for different moods. Gut Immenhof is nature, horses, and countryside simplicity — perfect for a family weekend or when you need to unplug completely. Hotel Avidea is mountain luxury with world-class spa — ideal when you want to be pampered. For pure recovery and rest, Hotel Avidea wins. For genuine disconnection and fresh air, Gut Immenhof is unbeatable.
