What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The loj is a small Alpine retreat built around good food, slow days, and guests who are there for both.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
On a quiet Flachau lane, surrounded by alpine meadows and village peaks.
The rooms
Rooms look out across village peaks. In the garden, a freestanding chalet is built from aged timber.
The pool and lounge
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool stays heated to 32 degrees in winter. Indoors, guests rest on daybeds beside an organic tea station.
The saunas
A classic Finnish sauna and a bio sauna are built with tiered timber benches and hot stone heaters.
Restaurant
seven's kitchen
Daily four-course menus are served in wood-paneled booths, highlighting wild-caught fish and vegetables gathered from the garden.
At the table
The morning buffet lays out farmer cheeses, local bacon, and sourdough bread baked in an old wood-fired oven.
How it began
Lena and Joseph Oberreiter spent years testing hotel beds abroad before returning home to take over his family's inn.

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