ZillerSeasonsTyrolean timber chalets
Four timber chalets stand high on the mountainside, running like solitary homesteads where days revolve around the hearth.

Daily chalet breakfast deliveries and pantries stocked with local butter and alpine honey.
Notable
Mornings inside fifteenth-century farmhouse parlors with organic mountain cheeses and farm eggs.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This is Alpine chalet living done right... with consummate respect for privacy and a slew of opportunities to engage directly with what is arguably Nature’s grand finale.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The ski run down to Aschau passes 300 meters away, and hiking trails branch out directly across the mountainside.
The rooms
Bedrooms are lined in fragrant stone pine. Private terraces hold open-air soaking tubs that look across the valley.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated stainless-steel outdoor pool sits beside a natural swimming biotope framed in larch.
The saunas
The stone pine sauna looks out across the pond, and outdoor hot tubs steam on the chalet decks.
The spa
Massages and stone pine rituals take place in a pine-paneled room inside the farmhouse.
At the table
Breakfast at MartinerHof brings baskets of local bread, bacon, and jars of house-made fruit jam.
How it began

A local timber family built the chalets in 2013, later restoring the neighboring 500-year-old farmhouse to preserve its pine parlors.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

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

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
