What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Far from stuffy, it’s a casual place, with a strong emphasis on indulgence — in its spa treatments, in the alpine lifestyle, and in the thrilling views.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Untertauern keeps a quiet village pace along the valley floor. The high-altitude ski slopes of Obertauern sit ten minutes uphill.
The rooms
Airy bedrooms look out at the peaks through floor-to-ceiling glass, finished with wall mirrors and whimsical prints.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 33-metre freshwater swimming pond sits beside the sundecks, and the heated indoor pool looks out onto the pines.
The spa
Nine relaxation rooms include a stone pine lounge with heated waterbeds. Guests watch films from warming infrared loungers.
At the table
Dinner brings daily six-course menus and live cooking stations in the Aromagarden. Drinks follow at the circular pine bar.
How it began
The family has held this land for over 400 years, gradually transforming a 1950s roadside inn into an expansive spa.
