What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rooms are airy, simple, and tranquil, with floods of sunlight and gorgeously carved furnishings and fixtures.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds sit high above Mittersill at 1,150 meters, surrounded by five hectares of national park meadows.
The rooms
Carved local pine and spruce scent the bedrooms, and windows look out over the surrounding alpine peaks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool is heated to 36 degrees Celsius under a round skylight, steps from a natural swimming pond.
The saunas
Timber saunas look out across the snowy peaks, and heated mosaic loungers encircle the thermal hall.
The spa and gym
Sculpted wooden loungers fill quiet relaxation rooms, and the stone-walled gym looks out toward the Hohe Tauern peaks.
At the table
Traditional Stuben host five-course dinners, and the herBARium bar mixes cocktails infused with estate herbs.
How it began
Guest lodging started in 1966 when the owner's grandmother welcomed the first travelers to the family farm.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
