Description Alpine Glory: Turracher Höhe

Covered by forests, mountains and a sparkling lake, the landscape that surrounds this chalet is as quintessentially Austrian as it gets. It will come as further good news that the wooden home itself fits in seamlessly with this idyllic setting.

Perched on a hillside, there are some truly spectacular views to be enjoyed of the scenery, especially from the covered balcony complete with plenty of alfresco seating. Inside, it's fair to say that you'll be warm whatever the season, thanks to the infrared sauna and the hydromassage bathtub. The rest of the interior has a rustic feel thanks to the wooden walls and rugs under foot, but it's modern where it matters too, particularly the sleek kitchen.

When it comes to making the most of the local area, lifts up to the Turracher Höhe ski area are less than five minutes away by car, while the Nockalm Biosphere Reserve is only a twenty-minute drive. You're well served by restaurants and cafes within easy reach of the house, too.

Home truths:
*There's parking available at the house, as well as ski storage
*Although the home is spread across two floors, all but one of the bedrooms and bathrooms are on the ground level
*The host looks after several similar properties within the resort, so the home might differ slightly from what's photographed in terms of layout, but the style and standard will be similar
