If you’re after never-ending views and Austrian charm then you’ll like Hotel Briem. Set in the charming village of Westendorf, you can enjoy wonderful views of the Brixen Valley from the comfort of your cosy bedroom. The ski lifts are less than a ten-minute walk away, it's your gateway onto the wonderful Skiwelt area. 

Mountain views

The views will make you fall in love with the wide Brixen valley.  Situated on the road that leads down to the railway station, Hotel Briem is away from the busy central area - meaning stunning, uninterrupted views of the Brixen Valley in both directions – but it’s still only a 350 metre walk or an easy ski bus ride to Westendorf centre, the nursery slopes or the main gondola.

Austrian charm

Once you step into the Hotel Briem you'll feel right at home, the welcoming staff in classic Austrian dress welcome you with a smile and aim to make your stay memorable. With traditional alpine style décor throughout, the hotel has a real cosy feel to it. The hotel bar provides a cosy setting for an after-dinner drink.

The great facilities, include a modern spa with infrared cabin, Turkish bath, bio sauna, Finnish sauna and relaxation room - great for loosening up after a day on the slopes. You’ll enjoy the homely feeling, hearty breakfast and Tirolean character.
