Eco chalets caring for the environment.

Vacation in changing times
St Martin Chalets have featured predominantly in the British and Austrian national press due to being the first energy self-sufficient eco village for holidays in Europe. Every care has been taken to maintain the beautiful environment and for these chalets to be as self-sufficient as possible. All natural materials are used wherever possible using traditional methods.

zero-carbon
The core concept is a highly efficient vegetable oil CHP unit that guarantees clean, green electricity and heat supply. If back up is needed, 100% certified green energy from wind, sun, water and biomass is delivered. Buildings are treble insulated glazing (U value 0.7) and an overall U value of 0.9.

zero-waste
A complete recycling system for all waste is required by local by-laws. Organic waste is deposited on the resort's compost heap and re-dug into the vegetable gardens. Educational recycling programmes are part of the holiday!

Sustainable water
The resort and the hamlet of St Martin are supplied by a private spring. On-site, rainwater is collected in a large underground tank and used for irrigation. Quick flush system on all toilets is installed, as well as water saving taps.

Local and sustainable building materials
The chalets are built using natural, untreated timber from the regions' sustainable forests. The roofs are tiled using larch shingles and insulation is with 100% pure sheep's wool. Construction is by a 100% regional labour.

The Austrian Alps / Salzburgerland / Salzburgerland region

Lungau is surrounded by numerous mountain chains and safely embedded between the Niederen Tauern and Nockbergen at the southern tip of the province of Salzburg.

The valley is renowned for having a lot of sun shine and the nearby village of Mariapfarr, at the ski area of Fanningberg, is known as the sunniest village in Austria.

The ski region encompasses Grosseck/Speireck, less than 10 minutes walk to the lifts. Aineck/Katschberg, a short bus ride. Fanningberg also a short bus ride. Obertauern can be reached by skiing over Grosseck, down to Mautendorf then taking the bus, or take the bus direct from St Martin. Buses are free on production of a lift pass. This vast region offers skiing from late November until early May!!

The mountains majestically tower to a height of over 3,000 metres. Over 100 lakes lie within picturesque alpine pastures and steep raging cliffs. There are still a few secret hide-a-ways that can be discovered on a hike through the area, after all, only 58 lakes are officially recorded on the hiking maps.

Flora and fauna in Lungau is very diversified and is preserved and protected in the many nature reserves.

“Great facilities, very homely, good location” St Martin is a small village but has great access to the slopes, which then extends out across the mountain range. The chalets are very well designed with all the facilities you need, i enjoyed my time there so much I am already booked up to go again! Response: We're glad you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to welcoming you back at our home in Austria.

Guestbook for Chalet Zirbe St Martin Chalets

Thanks a lot for renting your chalet Zirbe to my family. We had a great time there and your chalet is designed and furnished with such a great taste!! It was really nice time there (It's pity holidays are so short ;-))
Kind regards, Petr & Klara

Thank you. We had a fantastic time! The best slopes and snow any of us had been on and it was so quiet, you could go on the lift and down a slope and not see anyone else! Lovely! We're already talking about going back next year. I can highly recommend St. Martin Chalets and the Lungau region. A Waller UK.

We had a great time thanks Laurie. The powder was amazing, especially at the Snow Bowl. Comfy sofa bed too!!
K Whitehouse. UK.

The chalets, combined with the authentic Austrian sense of fun, great food, personal service and optional action-packed evening activities (I can recommend the tobogganing and, for experienced skiers, “Steep and Deep with Herby”!) make this the kind of resort one would come back to year after year.
