Best Kaltenbach holiday apartments

Kaltenbach might not be the best known Austrian ski resort for those outside the country but it is becoming more popular with the Austrians themselves and is a growing favourite for independent travellers. The big change occurred with the connection of the Hochzillertal and Hochfügen ski areas in 2004. This has led to the area becoming one of the top three ski areas in the Ziller valley and also one of the most accessible. With a holiday apartment in Kaltenbach from 9flats, you could be one of the first to appreciate its charms. Your holiday apartment in Kaltenbach is perfect for getting to know the village and its people, placing you in the centre of the local community. This gives an authentic experience much like couchsurfing in Kaltenbach but your holiday accommodation in Kaltenbach has the added benefit of more comfort and privacy in your own room or apartment.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Kaltenbach

Kaltenbach was originally a farming village, with some mining operations. That all changed in the 1960s with the increase in ski tourism and the installation of lifts in Kaltenbach. Access to the ski areas is first class, with a double gondola chair lift rising from right beside the car park. There are 145km of pistes, with about half in the intermediate range and the rest divided evenly between easy and advanced. This makes it an ideal resort for a broad range of skill levels. It is also easily accessible, with good road connections and a train station right beside the lifts. You will find high quality restaurants and some cosy bars in the town.

Choosing your holiday accommodation in Kaltenbach

If not staying in Kaltenbach itself, then a holiday apartment in Stumm is a good alternative. Lying just across the valley from Kaltenbach, this is a charming 16th century Tyrolean village, with world class 21st century ski facilities. There are loads of bars and restaurants and even a 16th century castle to admire. A holiday apartment in Hart meanwhile will take you to this pretty village on the valley floor, with its spectacular 90m waterfall and many splendid hiking routes.

Leaving Kaltenbach

Before you leave Austria, a visit to its wonderful capital is a must. A holiday apartment in Vienna could be your base as you explore this dramatic imperial city. With stunning palaces and some of the world’s greatest art collections, this city of music and learning will entrance any visitor. Moving on from Austria, just a short trip to the north will take you to the Czech Republic and a holiday apartment in Prague where you can explore the ancient capital of Bohemia and admire the fabulous old town and monumental Charles Bridge before climbing to the castle.
