About the home
The Loft has undergone a major refurb and could easily be classed as 5 star accommodation. Changes include: new double bed, new bunks, new sofa bed, all new wardrobes and a brand new massage shower, and the room has luxury under floor heating. There is a very sunny balcony overlooking the ski area opposite. British Sky TV is now installed and there is a ski cellar available.
The loft apartment is a blend of old and new and still retains that Austrian rustic feel with its high ceilings, decor and wooden panelling.
Located in a very typically Austrian town that is unspoilt, the apartment compliments its surroundings very appropriately.

Winter:
Maria Alm is a wonderful ski area, with it's neighbour Hinterthal and other villages of Dienten and Mühlbach - all of which can be skied on the same lift pass. You really get a feeling here of skiing from resort to resort. The snow usually falls here first with Hinterthal having one of the best snow records in Austria usually opening the lifts in late November.
As well as the 150 km of fantastic ski slopes, the Hochkonig Winterreich offers much more to the winter time visitor. For the cross country skier here you'll find 30 km of marked trails. The non-skiers are well catered for with curling, winter walks, sleigh rides, flood lit toboggan runs and Ice skating.
The local indoor swimming pool is only a ten minute walk away and is open all year round.
The water park is open in the summer months only and is located about a twenty minute walk or a short drive away.
Other local facilities available include: Public sauna, Fitness centre, Tennis and Massage.
Public transport is available right opposite the apartments. This makes accessing the whole area very easy to do, be it in Summer or Winter time.
The area immediately around the apartments is superb for Walking, Hiking and Mountain Biking.
