1.) Focus on Experiencing Nature
Whether snowshoeing through the snow-covered landscape of East Tyrol or exploring the Allgäu on cross-country skis, nature has a special charm in winter. At the Naturhotel Outside, snowshoeing and winter hikes are a regular part of the program, including guided tours in the Hohe Tauern National Park, where mountain guides introduce guests to the untouched winter beauty of nature.
By the way, did you know that it is very quiet in a snow-covered forest? Because the snow acts as a natural sound absorber, you can also experience the enchanting landscape of the National Park acoustically – just stop for a moment and listen.
- Are you ready to explore the National Park in winter? Then take a look at the seasonal offers of the nature and hiking hotel Outside.
At the wellness hotel HUBERTUS Mountain Refugio in the Allgäu, an intensive connection with nature is the focus of the activity program. Whether it’s „natural bathing” and snowshoeing in the winter forest, a torchlight hike through the Balderschwang Valley – or do you dare to take an ice bath in the ice-cold water of the natural pond? Under the guidance of cold and breathing trainer Martin Steurer, you will first learn the correct breathing technique according to the Wimhof method, before jumping into the water for a few minutes between ice and snow.
- Fancy a dip in the ice-cold water? Check out the winter specials at the Allgäuer wellness hotel.
2.) Slowing Down in Winter
When it’s cold outside, maybe even snowing, and the sun is setting in the late afternoon, it gets cozy inside. A private wooden chalet offers the perfect setting for a relaxing and cozy time for two or with the whole family. Hygna Chalets in the Alpachtal in Tyrol is a small chalet village with 11 luxurious chalets. Each chalet is equipped with a sauna and freestanding bathtub, perfect for your personal spa moments. Alternatively, a private outdoor hot tub is available in two different categories. Or perhaps you would prefer to swim laps in the infinity pool in the former hay barn and enjoy the views of the snow-capped mountain slopes.
- Still not sure what to do for Valentine’s Day? How about the Hygna Chalets couples offer? It includes a romantically decorated chalet, chocolates, and a crackling fireplace.
At Hotel My Arbor on the South Tyrolean Plose, personal relaxation is the focus. How about a forest bath, a guided winter hike, or one of the daily themed sauna infusions with sauna master Manuel Greifenberg, known for his „show infusions”? The choice is yours! At My Arbor, you are encouraged to find your rhythm – and yourself.
- Ready for a break? Then take a look at the hotel’s current packages. For example, how about the „My Arbor Break” (including 2 massages)?
