What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Das Kaltenbach is an upscale alpine chalet with a marked appreciation for privacy.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The forest starts at the doorstep, while the quiet village centre of Kaltenbach is a five-minute stroll down the lane.
The rooms
Apartments have fitted kitchens and wide glass fronts framed in natural oak, looking out toward the Zillertal peaks.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The interconnected indoor-outdoor rooftop pool is filled with mountain spring water and kept at 32 degrees year-round.
The spa and gym
The fitness room looks onto the forest, and the spa lounge has timber platform daybeds around a glass fireplace.
Lobby, Bar & Lounge mit Feuerstelle
Guests gather beside an open fire pit for evening drinks and casual Tyrolean dishes like homemade Käsespätzle.
At the table
Morning buffets serve Tyrolean organic produce and made-to-order eggs beside floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the valley.
How it began
The grounds belonged to the Haas family farm for decades, and an original timber hay barn from 1901 still stands here.
