You can also eat there on the lawn at a wooden table.

The chalet is also ideally suited for families with babies, small and large children or teenagers. Your kids can let off steam in the playroom on a slide, a small climbing wall, on the gymnastic mat or in the shop. A Kettcar can also be used. Likewise, the tractors, sleds and bobsleds for the outdoors. You will also find a table tennis table, dart board and cornhole.

Guest access
Guests have access to all areas of the chalet, except for two small storage rooms.

Other things to note
If your kids want to pet animals, they can visit our neighbor Toni (more details under "Description of the neighborhood").

In winter, the road to our neighbor Toni is cleared by the municipality. Toni then clears the access road to our house in the morning when there is a lot of snow. I recommend that you use an all-wheel drive vehicle with winter tires in winter when there is snow. With this, you will be able to easily reach the chalet. If no four-wheel drive is available, you can park at Toni's for a fee (€5/day) and walk the short distance (about 200 m) to the chalet.

In summer, fall and spring you can easily reach the chalet with almost any vehicle. During the high season in summer and winter, you can also easily leave your car. From our neighbor, the free lake bus / Kaiserjet / ski bus runs several times a day directly to the beach of Lake Hinterstein or to Scheffau "downtown" and to the valley station of Skiwelt. You can then simply leave your ski equipment in the depot at the valley station (for a fee).

The fantastic and picturesque Lake Hinterstein is only minutes away from the house. The lake invites you to swim, stand up paddle boarding and kayaking in summer. 2 SUPs and 1 kayak can be found in the chalet. Likewise, wonderful bike and hiking trails start right at the chalet.

Neighborhood highlights

My neighbor in the valley runs the Anton Maier guesthouse. "Toni" is open almost all year round and you can have typical Tyrolean food there for lunch and dinner. It is a few minutes walk from the chalet. Toni also runs an organic farm. Your kids will find cows, chickens, geese, cats, the lovely dog Balu and in summer also pigs.

My neighbor on the mountain is Peter from the Stöfflhütte at 1,148 m altitude. You walk about 45-60 minutes to him along the hiking trail. The path is also easy to manage for children. At Peter's you get a great Kaiserschmarrn, a great Kaaspress dumpling soup and a great mountain breakfast. In winter, Peter is closed.

Lake Hintersteiner is only minutes away from the chalet. A dream in all seasons. In summer you can swim in the lake, go kayaking or go out on the SUP. If you don't feel like hiking or driving, just use the e-bikes in the house.

The Skiwelt (one of the largest ski resorts in Europe) is approx. 15 minutes by car. In the valley in Scheffau, you have access to more than 90 lifts.

Kufstein with the old castle and the beautiful old town is approx. 25 minutes by car. To Ellmau and St. Johann, you drive about 20 or 25 minutes by car. Kitzbühel is about 35 minutes away.

A family-run Spar supermarket can be found in Scheffau in the village. There are other shopping opportunities in nearby Ellmau.

The film sets of the mountain doctor are also minutes by car (Ellmau, Scheffau and Söll).

In the summer and winter season, by the way, the ski bus or lake bus runs from Scheffau to our neighbor "Toni" and from Toni to the village or in winter to the ski slope. So you can even go to the valley station in winter without a car.
