Mountains, design, simplicity — sometimes that’s all you need to truly recharge. Between South Tyrol and the Allgäu, from the Bregenzerwald to Schladming, we’ve discovered ten hideaways that show just how wonderfully relaxed a family holiday in the Alps can be. Places where children run barefoot across meadows, parents can finally breathe out, and good design becomes an effortless part of unwinding.
Holidays the way we love them: the most beautiful Alpine hideaways for families
1. innea, South Tyrol

2. Das Dorf in der Stadt, Schladming
At Das Dorf in der Stadt in Schladming, you stay surrounded by mountains while enjoying complete privacy. Holiday homes and apartments are arranged around a small natural pond, set within meadows that offer barbecue areas and spaces for children to play. In the morning, the first rays of sunlight move gently across the peaks as children run through the grass and parents enjoy their coffee with mountain views.
3. Mächlerhof, Allgäu
The Mächlerhof in the Allgäu is a farm that brings together heart and style. Families stay in tiny houses or spacious maisonette apartments, surrounded by orchard meadows and old stone walls.

Anyone who has stayed here understands what it truly means to enjoy a simpler way of life, at its very best.
4. Schnitzbichlhof, South Tyrol
On the edge of Lana in South Tyrol, the Schnitzbichlhof brings together traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.

It is the perfect place to experience the South Tyrolean way of life with all your senses.
5. Schtûbat, Andelsbuch
In Andelsbuch, the Schtûbat shows how minimalist architecture can still feel warm and inviting.

It is ideal for families who love shared experiences while also valuing peace and quiet.

8. Karerhof, South Tyrol
The Karerhof is set on a sunny hillside in the Eggental valley, where the Dolomites feel almost within reach and children run barefoot across the meadow in the morning to say good morning to the rabbits. Inside the light filled wooden lodges, large windows open towards the Rosengarten and Latemar mountains, while the scent of Swiss pine and fresh mountain hay fills the rooms. Surrounded by goats, chickens and the farm cat, life becomes wonderfully simple again, shaped by days spent outdoors and moments that truly feel like childhood gold. As evening light turns the peaks golden, families sit out on the terrace, listen to the gentle sound of cowbells and feel just how good it can be to slow down.
