The Almwelt Austria is a pretty unique offering - a chance to really get back to nature and away from the crowds.
The Almwelt is a lakeside hamlet of 22 individual log cabins and a mountain lodge above Schladming's neighbouring village of Pichl (pronounced pickle). The slopes are right on your doorstep too - the Almwelt is on the red Schnepfen run which leads from the Reiteralm lift down to Pichl's main village so you can easily be first on the piste each morning.
The main hotel is an old hunters' lodge that has been lovingly converted into a small but perfectly formed 12 room Alpine hotel. We've managed to get hold of Forester Cabins for you too - these huts are very spacious - around 130m² each - with a large lounge and dining area, a log fire, full kitchen, your own sauna and two bedrooms. There's also the typically Styrian mountain hut restaurant, Schnepf'n-Alm - the social hub while staying here. If you're staying in the cabins, you can choose to stick with self catering, just be aware that you are a fair way from any shops, so it's worth grabbing some supplies before the last lift, eating at the Schnepf'n-Alm once or twice or simply upgrading to half board.
There's also an excellent wellness area with a selection of saunas, experience showers, steam baths and panoramic views over the slopes.
Overall a stay at the Almwelt is really suited to independant travellers who prefer doing things their way - and want something a little less ordinary.
