Owned by the Hochfilzer family since 1832, this is one of Ellmau’s most popular hotels thanks to Ingrid and her team who cannot do enough for their guests. With an ideal central location, it is a traditional hotel with high standards of comfort and a welcoming Tyrolean ambience. Leisure facilities are superb and an extensive programme of activities including guided walks and mountain picnics runs regularly. The Hochfilzer’s 3 star ‘Haus Garden’ located directly opposite offers spacious and traditional accommodation.
