Your Hosts
Our Waldhütte is nearly 80 years old and located right in the heart of nature. We love this place for its tranquility, the beautiful surroundings, and the wide range of activities it offers. We are passionate hosts and enjoy welcoming guests who appreciate nature and the cabin as much as we do.
We love being active – whether it’s climbing, hiking, cycling, or ski touring. As certified Tyrolean sport climbing instructors, we are able to offer climbing experiences upon request – either outdoors on natural rock or indoors in a climbing gym.
Our Philosophy:
fair – local – sustainable
- Fairness and friendliness shape how we treat our guests, partners, and supporters.
- Local collaboration is important to us:
We rely on local products, craftspeople, and partners. - Environmental protection is a given for us:
We hope to inspire our guests to take ideas home with them for everyday life
Your Cabin Hosts,
Monika & Hanspeter
