Near Ellmau amidst lush meadows, you'll find the premium chalets Beim Hochfilzer, offering privacy and a cozy alpine ambience. The luxury chalets boast over 100 square meters of living space, a free-standing bathtub with far-reaching views and a private spa area with a sauna and a cosy corner. Breakfast is delivered directly to the chalet every day. In the evening you can cook for yourself or head to the hotel's so called Genussstub'n - or book the private Chef's Table and indulge in culinary delights. The ingredients are sourced locally and the meat even comes from the hotel's own farm. In summer, guests can hone their barbecue skills at the host's barbecue academy. Another highlight is the hotel's spa area, which features a heated outdoor pool, a steam bath, a relaxation room, an adventure sauna and an extensive sunbathing lawn.

Kitzhof Mountain Design Resort is one of the hotspots in Kitzbühel: it's no coincidence that Hollywood dream couple Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander stayed here this year during the Hahnenkamm spectacle. But it's not just the rich and famous who call the Tyrolean resort their home: the slopes around Kitzbühel are home to chamois. Therefore, they're also at the heart of the design concept of Kitzhof and act as a link between contemporary minimalist lines and classic Alpine textures. Co-owner Uschi Schelle-Müller has combined high-quality materials from renowned manufacturers with lots of wood and alpine loden fabrics, creating a stylish feel-good ambience. One of the highlights is Kitz Spa with an indoor pool. It also offers products from natural cosmetics pioneer Susanne Kaufmann.
