Family Hotel in the Zillertal

Our nature hotel, inspired by the architecture of an Alpine mountain village, is located at an elevation of 600 meters above the Zillertal, on an idyllic mountain plateau right on the edge of the forest.

In summer, it’s a true retreat: bathed in sunshine, in a peaceful and majestic setting by the mountain forest, with guaranteed fresh air. The crystal-clear water of the mountain stream and the unspoiled nature create a soothing microclimate—especially on hot summer days—and ensure a refreshing break.

In winter, our guests benefit from a prime location, just 350 meters from the valley station of the Skioptimal Hochzillertal mountain railway in Kaltenbach, with direct access to 100 kilometers of slopes. The breathtaking view of the wide Zillertal valley floor and the majestic mountain landscape perfectly rounds out the winter experience.

The Naturhotel is the ideal place for discerning families looking for an exceptional family hotel. Here, a vacation becomes an unforgettable experience in every season—we call it a “place of rejuvenation.”
