Hohe Tauern National Park
Scenically perched above the village and next to forest, this guesthouse is run by the kindly Bachmaier family and has terrific waterfall views. The recently renovated rooms are modern, while others are done out in rustic alpine style. The restaurant makes the most of local, organic ingredients and home-grown herbs.
Kids are well catered for with a playground and, in winter, an illuminated toboggan track right on the doorstep.
