Top Tips for Spending New Year’s Eve in a Mountain Hut

Imagine welcoming the New Year in your own, private, snowy mountain hut? Sounds pretty good, eh? Unfortunately, you’re probably already too late to book for this year – you need get in early. However, you’ll be pleased to know that most of the huts are available all year round, so get in touch to find a date be it spring, summer, autumn or winter.

    • PlaceSölden

It’d be pretty difficult to find a mountain cabin that’s closer to the ski slopes than the Gampe Thaya hut in the glacial, snow-sure resort of Sölden. With space for between 2 and 5 people, this is old-school charm (the hut has been remodelled into the perfect romantic setting) that has all the comforts of a hotel but with the total seclusion and privacy of a hut. At 2,000-metres above sea level, the cabin overlooks the Gampe Thaya, said to be one of the most picturesque areas in Tirol.

Now this is ski-in, ski out! Guests of the Kohlerhütte in the Ziller Valley can fall out of bed, onto their skis and outside the door you’ll find the Spieljoch resort. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s a number of amazing après-ski bars within a few minutes’ walk. With a living area spread over 100 square metres, this location offers ample space for 8 people.

And with direct access to the Wildschönau ski area (also known as the Skijuwel Alpbach area) you’re guaranteed to be first on the slopes in the morning. Far from a cold, mountain refuge, this place offers modern comforts such as underfloor heating, flat-screen TVs and a private spa and sauna.

    • PlaceInnervillgraten

The Alfenalm in the East Tirol mountain village of Innervillgraten is the epitome of a traditional Tirolean hideaway cabin. Deep in the mountains you’ll find this four-bedroom chalet that is perfectly set up to host 14 people. In an area famous for its traditions and old-school charm, the chalet boasts Villgrater sheep wool mattresses (said to provide the best sleep you’ll ever have) and perfectly controlled room temperatures. Add in accessories and furniture from the local area (the lamps by Alfons Steidl – a renowned local blacksmith – are masterpieces, and were commissioned solely for the Alfenalm).
