Featuring exceptional Tyrolean craftsmanship, glorious mountain views, along with spacious and comfortable interiors, Chalet Maria Schnee was originally built by World Cup alpine ski champion, Gertrud Gabl in 1978. Since then, new owners have restored the property to showcase the original rustic charm of the building, while enhancing it with sleek modern design and statement contemporary art. The property is spread across four floors and the aged wood, rich fabrics and neutral color palette create a cozy and relaxing vibe. A great choice for larger groups, the chalet comfortably sleeps 10 adults and five children.
Guests are welcomed into a large open plan living and dining area, with sunken lounge, fireplace, library nook, guest WC, and floor-to-ceiling French doors, opening onto a delightful sun-facing terrace. The dining table seats up to 12, while the guest kitchen has an additional table for children’s tea.
The lower ground floor is home to the children’s playroom which transforms into a hi-tech cinema room, a gym, sauna, guest WC, ski storage room with heated boot warmers, laundry room and professional kitchen with separate entrance for maximum guest privacy. Along the corridor is a triple bedroom with three single beds and ensuite bathroom, ideal for teens and younger children. Back up on the ground floor, there is a double ensuite bedroom off the kitchen and a second ensuite bedroom on the upper ground floor, where there’s also a cozy snug for enjoying a schnapps or two.
The remaining three bedrooms and bunkroom are all located on the first floor. The master bedroom is particularly sumptuous with coffered wooden ceiling, generous ensuite and large sunny terrace. Also of note is the old Tyrolean zirbenstube, which has been converted into a double bedroom complete with traditional stove. Alongside this, is another double bedroom and bunk room. All bathrooms include robes, slippers, amenities, and hairdryer.
A concierge service is provided prior to arrival and throughout the duration of each stay. Other services include Wi-Fi, daily housekeeping, and mid-week towel change. Guests can choose to book on a self-catering, bed and breakfast or catered basis. Catered guests enjoy a daily cooked breakfast and six days a week (allowing staff a day off) afternoon tea, pre-dinner canapés and champagne, four-course dinner, early children’s supper, evening turn down service, complimentary house wines, beers and soft drinks and a complimentary drinks tray.
