Alpine hut vacation in Austria Vacation high above the valley

In summer, the alp becomes a quiet oasis, surrounded by peaks and the fresh, clear mountain air. Everyday life is far away as you sit on the bench in front of the hut, breathe in deeply and feel the sun on your face. The vast landscape spreads out before you, and after an active day on the slopes or a hike , you return to the cozy comfort of your alpine hut. This unique combination of nature, tranquillity and adventure makes a vacation in the Alps an unforgettable experience.

The most beautiful huts in Austria You'll find something special at the alm

A vacation in an alpine hut is anything but ordinary. Away from the hustle and bustle of the valley, the alpine pasture offers peace, nature experiences and breathtaking views of the stars - including the Milky Way. Whether it's a cozy hut by candlelight, a New Year's Eve party with friends, a spacious hunting lodge in the forest or luxurious comfort with sauna and satellite TV: there is a suitable domicile for every taste. Breathe in the clear alpine air in the morning and enjoy the view over mist-covered valleys - your heart will soar.

A vacation in an alpine hut is many things, but not ordinary - and certainly not boring. As the antithesis to the usually hectic and noisy valley landscape below, the alpine pasture is one of the last refuges for those seeking peace and quiet and those who long for simplicity and experiences close to nature.

Classic alpine hut Self-catering huts

Where once lonely dairymen herded the cattle during the summer months and conjured up butter or cheese from the fresh milk every day, you can now go on vacation. Although these former alpine huts have now lost their original function, they have been renovated and comfortably furnished.

In addition, some alpine huts have been completely rebuilt in a fantastic secluded location and there are also some huts with wellness facilities to choose from. However, one feature has been retained from earlier times - you have to look after yourself, as there is no catering here. In most cases, there is not even another building in sight. However, the majority of guests are not bothered by this. On the contrary, they are looking for precisely this authenticity, which nowadays can almost only be experienced on alpine pastures.

Premium cabins Exclusive luxury chalets on the alpine pasture

Our premium chalets are elegant chalets that offer more comfort than you can imagine on an alpine pasture. These "high-end" alpine huts not only have creative and stylish furnishings with plenty of space, but are also characterized above all by exclusive and stylish features.

Heated outdoor bathing facilities, panoramic saunas with views over the Alpine landscape, free-standing bathtubs or cozy chill-out corners are just some of the many add-ons you can discover in our premium huts.

The technical equipment also leaves nothing to be desired and is significantly more extensive and luxurious than you are used to from classic alpine huts.

Former mountain farm

In the past, there were mountain farms all over the Alps. In the meantime, some are no longer farmed for various reasons and are therefore open for new uses. Our former mountain farms have been renovated, modernized and are now available for rent. Mostly situated at lower altitudes , they are easily accessible and offer an idyllic setting that is second to none. Immerse yourself in the past of these farms and feel what life must have been like in this somewhat different alpine hut. If only these walls could tell stories...
