About Hotel Briem

On the outskirts of Westendorf is the lovely Hotel Briem. It's in a quiet and sunny location looking out over lush green meadows. Just a four-minute walk from the centre and 12 minutes to the nearest lift, you'll be in the ideal position to explore this hiking, swimming and sporting paradise.

The hotel is traditional through and through, from the authentic interiors and hearty home-cooking to the dirndl-wearing team of friendly staff who are always on hand with tips and recommendations. In the cosy bar and lounge, you can enjoy a good Austrian beer and a natter, or a good book and a cup of tea.

Laze in the garden, breathe in the smell of mountain air and enjoy a picture-perfect Alpine vista from the terrace. On sunny afternoons and warm evenings, it's a popular place for a drink, a game of cards, and regaling stories of the day's adventures.

On a sunny plateau in the Brixen Valley, Westendorf is surrounded by patchwork fields, forests, rolling hills and mountain peaks making it the ideal spot for a summer holiday. Buses, trains, gondolas and a network of walking and cycling paths link it to popular villages such as Söll, Ellmau and Kitzbühel.
