Mountain Art Project Filzmoos
Art in Filzmoos and at the Alpenhof
The Mountain Art Project Filzmoos turns our little mountain village into a huge gallery every year. Painters, sculptors, and photographers from all over the world showcase their works in unique places – from rustic alpine huts to hotels and cozy restaurants. Filzmoos becomes a place where art and nature come together in a truly special way.
The best part: all exhibitions can be visited free of charge – and even better, you can combine some of them with a hike. This way, you get to experience art surrounded by mountains, fresh air, and an unforgettable atmosphere. And who knows – maybe you’ll discover your new favorite piece along the way.
It all started back in 2021 with 21 artists in 21 locations. Then came 22, 23, and so on. We can’t wait to see what 2050 will look like. ☺️ Of course, our Alpenhof Filzmoos is proud to be an exhibition venue every year – and we’re always excited to discover which artist and artworks will find their way to us.
The festival is curated by John Wieser and organized by Filzmoos Tourismus. Together, they create an event that inspires both guests and artists year after year, turning Filzmoos into one big exhibition.
So go check out a few of the exhibitions – it’s truly something special, and there’s something for everyone.

2026 Review - Irma Hofer
Mountain art project 2026 in Filzmoos
Mountain and landscape paintings are simply a perfect match for our hotel in the heart of the mountains. The exhibition by South Tyrolean artist Irma Hofer gave our entrance area a truly special atmosphere and unique charm – simply wonderful.
Mountain Art 2026 – Mountains Everywhere at the Alpenhof
In 2026, we truly lived up to the name Mountain Art. Artist Irma Hofer delighted us with her expressive mountain and landscape paintings.
Nature – and above all the fascinating world of the mountains – lies at the heart of her work. Rather than simply portraying landscapes as realistically as possible, Irma Hofer captures their moods, emotions and unique character, creating paintings with a distinctive and often wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. ✨
We were delighted to exhibit Irma Hofer’s works at the Alpenhof. Here in Filzmoos, surrounded by our own magnificent mountain scenery, her paintings found a truly special place.

2025 Review - Anton Thurnberger
Mountain art project 2025 in Filzmoos
This year, Anton Thurnberger has found his way to our Alpenhof. His fascinating artistic technique, using mainly natural materials, results in truly beautiful and unique works of art. 🌿 Definitely worth a visit!
Mountain Art 2025 – Pure Nature at Alpenhof Filzmoos
Master carpenter Anton Thurnberger creates his works of art using a truly unique technique. He mainly works with botanical materials such as grasses, ferns, thistles and ears of grain. These natural materials are pressed under high pressure and then partially sanded down again. He repeats this process around 50 times – and voilà, a unique work of art is created.
With their earthy, natural colours, his artworks fit beautifully into our entrance area, surrounded by wood and stone, creating a wonderfully calm and relaxing atmosphere. 🌿
What I personally find especially fascinating is that this is art you are actually allowed to touch. The texture created by all those different layers feels incredible. And there’s even a little bit of a thrill involved: although I know touching the artworks is allowed, it still feels quite unusual to experience a painting with your hands.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr Thurnberger for sharing his wonderful works with us and for this special exhibition.
Do take a look at his website and his artworks – they really are impressive. But to be perfectly honest, they’re even better when you see and feel them in person. So, if you get the chance, come and have a look! ☺️

2024 Review - Elke Hubmann-Kniely
Mountain art project 2024 in Filzmoos
As part of the Mountain Art Project 2024 ⛰️ our guests experienced the art of Elke Hubmann-Kniely – full of color, emotion, and pure joy of life.
Mountain art 2024 - colorful entrance area at the Alpenhof
In 2024, the Mountain Art Project Filzmoos was once again a very special experience at Hotel Alpenhof. Artist Elke Hubmann-Kniely delighted our guests with her colorful works, always carried by emotion and intuition.
For her, painting means pure joy: as soon as the paint tubes are opened, every mood transforms into a sense of elation – and that very feeling is passed on to those who view her art.
We were truly happy to showcase her works in our entrance area. The vibrant paintings were a real eye-catcher and often made our guests stop in their tracks – sometimes more than once, as so many hidden details could be discovered in each piece.

2023 review - Norbert Kopf
Mountain art project 2023 in Filzmoos
A garden full of art and magic – this year, nature and photography merged in our garden. The detailed flower shots by Norbert Kopf revealed fascinating facets of small natural beauties that are often overlooked.
Mountain Art 2023 - der magische Garten im Alpenhof - der magische Garten
In 2023, as part of the Mountain Art Project Filzmoos, we were able to experience a very special exhibition in the garden of our Alpenhof. Salzburg-based photographer and “dream gardener” Norbert Kopf presented his impressive series “The Magical Garden”, showcasing works centered around gardens, blossoms, and the great mysteries of life. His images took our guests on a journey into a world of colors, shapes, and emotions – a place where nature and art merge in a truly unique way.
A heartfelt thank you to Norbert Kopf for this inspiring exhibition, it was great seeing these small and beautiful flowers in all their details. ✨

2022 review - Evi Schartner & Janet Knight
Mountain art project 2022 in Filzmoos
Two artists, two styles, one shared experience – the Mountain Art Project Filzmoos 2022 brought color and emotion to our Alpenhof, thanks to Evi Schartner and Janet Knight.
Mountain art 2022 - Zwei Künstler im Alpenhof Filzmoos
The Mountain Art Project Filzmoos brought not just one, but two extraordinary artists to our Alpenhof in 2022.
Australian artist Janet Knight enchanted everyone with her paintings. With great passion, she captures the essence of beauty and the emotions of the moment – whether it’s the stunning Filzmoos landscape or the very first encounter with an alpine cow.
At her side, Austrian artist Evi Schartner presented her expressive drawings. In addition to running her own studio, she also works on illustrations and children’s book stories. Her art has already received international recognition, including the Palm Art Award and the Purchase Prize of the Bankside Gallery in London.
Together, the two artists let art and nature meet in Filzmoos – transforming the Alpenhof’s entrance area into an inspiring exhibition space that lingered in our memories for a long time. ✨

2021 review - Anna-Lena Caecilia
Mountain art project 2021 in Filzmoos
The very first Mountain Art Project took place in 2021. Anna-Lena Cäcilia transformed the Alpenhof garden into a stage for figurative sculptures full of expression and emotion.
Mountain Art 2021 - Anna-Lena Cäcilia im Alpenhof
In 2021, the Mountain Art Project Filzmoos was held for the very first time – and it was already a true highlight for us at Hotel Alpenhof. Austrian sculptor Anna-Lena Cäcilia presented her figurative sculptures, which impressively showcase the expressive potential of the human form.
Her works are created from a variety of materials, but the templates themselves are modeled in clay – allowing her to shape them directly with her hands. Combining both classical and contemporary techniques, she unites body, emotion, and identity into vibrant artworks that deeply moved us.
Our guests were fascinated by this unique exhibition in the Alpenhof garden. Fun fact: the setup and takedown of the exhibition turned out to be quite an adventure, as some of the pedestals and sculptures weighed up to 200 kg – definitely a challenge, especially for the rather petite artist herself.
We warmly thank Anna-Lena for all her effort and for this wonderful exhibition. ☺️
