Curved alpine lodge
This adults-only lodge stands apart from Mayrhofen's lively ski village, defined by a sweeping curved wing of regional stone.
What it’s good at
Notable
Reinhard Strasser paired regional timber with local stone to ground modern interiors.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
South Tyrolean architect Thomas Urthaler added a curved new wing … and interior designer Reinhard Strasser filled both with materials pulled from the surrounding landscape.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Ski lifts at the Penkenbahn are a short stroll away, while a quiet private garden waits across the lane.
The rooms
Rooms in the modern wing open onto natural stone balconies, fitted with regional timber and bespoke Tyrolean furniture.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Thick basalt slabs line the indoor pool hall, where underwater lighting reflects off stone columns beside an open fireplace.
The spa & gym
Restaurant Stuben
Guests dine across six historic wood-paneled parlours, choosing from five-course Tyrolean menus prepared in an open show kitchen.
How it began
The property began in 1649 as a village farmstead and post office, centuries before ski lifts arrived in the valley.
