Austria’s Most Beautiful Mountain Cabins and Chalets
DISCOVER SOMETHING SPECIAL
A holiday in a mountain cabin or chalet in Austria can be described in many ways. What it’s certainly not: ordinary or even dull. The alpine pastures that are dotted with cabins are the perfect antidote to the hectic and noisy life in the valleys. They are some of the few remaining retreats for those who seek tranquility, simple living or immersion in nature.
Choose the place that suits you best. There’s room for you even in the smallest of cabins. Would you like to get cosy in a candle-lit, gnarly cabin and snuggle up in a bed of freshly raked hay? In the morning, you can rub the sleep from your eyes with some icy water from the fountain. Or would you like to celebrate New Year’s Eve in a mountain cabin together with a bunch of friends? The snow shovel is for free. Do you prefer a spacious hunting lodge in the woods or a mountain farm where time seems to stand still? Do you fancy a luxurious break in lofty heights? A holiday in the Austrian Mountains can also look like this: satellite TV, sauna, duvets and a ski lift next door. The fresh, clean air of the mountains with a touch of luxury. Can you think of a better mix?
Tell us, when’s the last time that you saw the bright band of stars, the Milky Way, on a clear night sky? Honestly? You don’t remember? From our mountain cabins and chalets, you can see thousands and thousands of stars. Unspoiled by light pollution, these are some of the best spots for stargazers.
In the mountains, you get a different perspective on many things. You can see the valleys from above. In winter, they are often covered under a blanket of fog. But here, the sun is shining and your sight gazes at the breathtaking panoramic view well above the thick fog. The clean air up here is also something very special. The best thing is getting up in the early morning, stepping out the front door and taking a deep breath. Do you know how it feels? Well, it simply makes your heart sing! You’ll see!
OUR MOTTO IN THE MOUNTAINS: Everything’s Possible, Nothing’s Imperative
ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Peace and tranquility are not the only good reasons to spend a holiday in the Austrian mountains. Our mountain cabins and chalets are the perfect destinations for activity holidays.
Hiking on well-marked and safe trails, mountain biking on great flow trails or long walks through the woods with the whole family - the opportunities for outdoor activities are endless. There’s only one rule to follow: respect wildlife, plants and trees while you’re on holiday! The alpine pastures are a unique habitat. It’s our aim to preserve it.
During the cold season, toboggan runs, cross-country ski tracks or snowshoeing & ski touring are some of the highlights. The air is crisp. Snow is glistening. What a beautiful sight, this winter wonderland!
There are also great on-piste adventures waiting for you. Since our mountain cabins and chalets are evenly distributed across Austria’s alpine regions, the next ski resort is mostly not far.
Our mountain cabins and chalets in Austria are also the perfect destination for private or corporate events. New Year’s Eve with friends or a team building workshop with colleagues - no matter what you’re planning, we have the ideal mountain cabin or chalet for you, including the appropriate setting and facilities.
Traditional Mountain Cabins
SELF-CATERING ACCOMMODATION
Where so-called Senner used to spend their summer in solitude, herding the cattle and making butter and cheese from the fresh milk every day, you can now spend your holiday. These former simple dwellings of the alpine dairymen and herdsmen are not in traditional use any longer. They have been renovated and transformed into convenient accommodation.
Some of the mountain cabins have been reconstructed at their original locations, in remote areas of outstanding natural beauty. A number of cabins provides spa areas. There’s one thing that hasn’t changed over time: you need to cater for yourself. There’s no place that offers food or drink nearby. Most of the time, there’s not even a single building within sight. For the majority of guests, that’s not a problem at all. Quite the opposite: that’s exactly what they are looking for! A traditional mountain cabin is one of the few remaining places where you can find authenticity.
Redesigned Mountain Farms
Back in the old days, mountain farms were a common sight in the alpine regions. Over time, a lot of them fell out of use due to different reasons. Some of these former mountain farms have been renovated and redesigned to fit a new use: accommodation for guests. They are mostly located at lower altitudes than our other mountain cabins and chalets which means that they are easily accessible. The picture-perfect scenery is beyond comparison! Travel back in time, soak up history and get a feeling for what life on a mountain farm was like, back then. If only the walls could talk...
Holiday Homes on Mountain Farms
CABINS AND COTTAGES NEXT TO THE FARMHOUSE
Our holiday homes combine traditional features and contemporary comfort. The cabins and cottages are located next to the farm buildings on a working mountain farm. This means that you can get to know your host family, the farmers, and peek over their shoulders in their day-to-day work. If you like, you can lend them a hand. It’s allowed to pitch in. Most of these mountain farms provide more than just an insight into their everyday lives. Fine tastings for adults with home-made fruit spirits or guided walks for the whole family with trained outdoor educators - a lot of diverse activities await you. Home-made products such as cheeses, jams or meat products can be purchased on almost every farm.
Mountain Restaurants
STAFFED MOUNTAIN CABINS
Are you usually very busy with fun activities during your holiday? No worries. We also have something for those who don’t have time to cater for themselves and still want to experience the mountain way of life: mountain restaurants.
In these staffed mountain cabins, you can enjoy meals prepared with fresh, locally grown ingredients. A hearty snack platter, a savoury pork roast or Austria’s most traditional dessert, Kaiserschmarren - nobody will go to bed starving in our mountain restaurants.
Of course, you will also get all sorts of drinks. Are you intrigued? Then, simply find your favourite mountain cabin, book your holiday, check in and enjoy!
Authentic and pristine - you will definitely feel comfortable here, in the Austrian mountains!
