Ski apartments in Austria

Ski apartments in Austria range from a two-bedroom flat beside the lift to a sixteen-person residence with its own spa. We compare them by the unit you would actually book, so the guests, bedrooms and bathrooms shown belong to one apartment and not to the whole building. The list runs from Lech and Ischgl to Sölden, Flachau, Schladming, Obertauern and Hermagor in Carinthia.

Apartments, chalet apartments and apartment hotels

Capacity applies to a unit; where a building has several unit types the stay page says so.

Filter the stays

Results count stays that match your choices. Facilities include those listed by one source, usually the owner. Dates and availability are confirmed on the provider's website.

That distinction is the point of this page. An apartment building can advertise sixteen guests and still have a unit for four, and a resort can show its best penthouse in every photo. Where a building has several unit types, the stay page names the unit the figures describe, such as a penthouse or a numbered chalet, so you compare like with like rather than a headline number.

Apartment hotels and residences are included because they work like apartments, but they keep their own label and never count as chalets. Many publish rich detail on their own website and little anywhere else, so a lot of the facilities below are listed by the owner only, and we say so each time. Where two sources agree, the fact is stated plainly. For whole houses, see the selection of ski chalets in Austria.

Always check which unit the numbers describe. In an apartment building the biggest figure on the page is rarely the one you will be sleeping in.

Skiing from the door

A handful of apartments sit on the piste or within 100 metres of a lift. The ski-in/ski-out selection applies the same check to whole chalets.

A sauna in your own unit

Many apartments list a private sauna, mostly from the owner alone. Stays where a second source confirms it are grouped separately.

Ten people or more

Several apartments sleep twelve to sixteen. If one front door for the whole group matters, compare them with whole chalets.

Unit, not building

How to compare ski apartments in Austria unit by unit

Guests per unit is the first figure to check. Fiss Suites in Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis shows why: Premium Apartment 5 sleeps eight in 117 square metres, with three double bedrooms and a sofa bed, while the sauna area belongs to the resort and is shared. A description that blends the building's facilities into one unit can make a flat read like a chalet, so separate the two as you read.

Residences need the same care. Chalet Ischgl is a set of apartments rather than one chalet, with four Deluxe units of 120 square metres plus a Superior and two Classic ones. Das Kitz has five residence units, from a one-bedroom apartment to two five-bedroom options for sixteen, with shared wellness and private slots you can reserve. Choose the unit first, then read its facilities.

Bathrooms and the lift come next. Two bedrooms and one bathroom for six, as at Apartments Alpin Apart in Flachau, works for a family and less well for six adults. A listed distance rarely says which lift it is measured to, and sources can differ: at Valentin Design Apartments in Sölden the lift appears at 150 or 200 metres depending on the page. Our method for comparing stays sets out how we handle that.

Ski-in/ski-out apartments in Austria and units beside the lift

Two stays in this selection have a piste position confirmed by two sources. Chalet Apartment Bärlerhof in Königsleiten is a two-bedroom chalet apartment for four where skiing starts on site, with the lift listed 50 to 100 metres away. Alpenparks Rehrenberg at Viehhofen, near Saalbach, is a resort of chalet apartments with a pool, a hot tub and a shared sauna, all confirmed.

Most other piste positions come from the owner. Chalet Dorferhaus in Königsleiten lists the piste and the lift at 50 metres, with five bedrooms and three bathrooms for ten. In Obertauern, Carpe Solem Jules lists ski access beside the Grünwaldkopfbahn, and Katschberg Lodge is a two-bedroom lodge the owner places on the Katschberg piste, with a private sauna listed. AlpinLodges Kühtai describes its resort as ski-in/ski-out, with two garage spaces at Adlerhorst.

Treat any single-source piste claim as a starting point. Ask if the group can ski back to the door at the end of the day as well as leave from it, and if that still holds late in the season. Our page on chalets in Königsleiten covers the village behind the first two listings, and the ski-in/ski-out chalets in Austria apply the same test to whole houses.

Wellness in the unit

Ski apartments in Austria with a private sauna

A sauna inside the apartment is common in this selection, but nearly every one is listed by the owner alone. Lisa-Chalets in Flachau lists a sauna in each of its self-contained chalets, a bathroom for every bedroom and a boot dryer by the door. Apart Resort Rabl in Westendorf makes a sauna in every apartment its headline, with a reserved underground parking space per unit.

In Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, Domenigs Luxury Apartments lists a sauna in each of seven apartments and heated ski lockers, with a lift 250 metres away, while Serfaus Mountain Lodge lists an infrared cabin in every unit. In Kappl, SGmiatli has three apartments, each with a bio sauna according to the owner. Das Heimsitz in Brixen im Thale is a 109 square metre chalet with a private spa, listed 100 metres from the Skiweltbahn.

If the sauna decides the trip, compare these with our chalets in Austria with a sauna or hot tub, where a private facility must be confirmed twice before a stay is included. Shared saunas, as at Alpenparks Central Zell am See, are labelled as shared on every stay page, so you know before arrival if the cabin will be yours alone.

Bigger groups

Large ski apartments in Austria for groups of ten or more

Some apartments are as big as chalets. Apart Central in Mayrhofen contains Chalet Royal, which sleeps up to sixteen across eight bedrooms and four floors with its own spa kept for the group, per the owner. Alpenpark Turrach on the Turracher Höhe lists Chalet 27 at 140 square metres with six bedrooms for up to sixteen, an infrared sauna and an indoor whirlpool.

In Sölden, Grünwald Resort Sölden lists a Grand Chalet for up to fourteen across six double bedrooms, with a private sauna. Promi Alm Flachau has chalets for six to thirteen, the largest with five en-suite bedrooms. In St Michael im Lungau, Kauz lists four design chalet houses on the slope, from eight guests up to fourteen. In Gerlos, Sruh Prime Apartment is listed for two to sixteen, though the layout behind that range is unconfirmed.

A big apartment still means sharing the building, the entrance and often the parking with other guests. With ranges that wide, ask for the floor plan of the exact unit before you count on keeping everyone together. Our list of large chalets in Austria for groups covers whole houses, and the chalet or apartment guide sets out what changes at each group size.

Hotel help

Apartment hotels in Austria with breakfast and housekeeping

Cooking for yourselves does not have to mean doing every chore. Mountain Vita in Obertauern includes daily cleaning and breakfast in an apartment hotel beside the piste, according to the owner, with shared wellness. Chalet Hohe Welt in Lech has four named apartments, two of 100 square metres with a private sauna, and a concierge who serves breakfast in the apartment at the time you choose.

Aadla Walser-Chalets in Schröcken lists seven separate Walser chalets, each with its own sauna and hot pot, breakfast delivered to the door and housekeeping every second day. At Alpenchalets Flachauer Gutshof in Flachau each chalet lists a sauna and a full kitchen, with optional half board and three Gutshof restaurants nearby. Lech Lodge adds a host who can stock the fridge and arrange meals.

Larger apartment hotels trade privacy for facilities. AlpenParks Hotel & Apartment Taxacher in Kirchberg in Tirol lists fifty apartments and ten rooms under one roof, with a shared pool and several sauna types. If you would rather have every meal handled, see hotels and apartment hotels in the Austrian Alps, and if you have not picked a resort yet, start with the best ski resorts in Austria for chalet holidays.

Practical answers

Questions about ski apartments in austria

Choosing a ski apartment in Austria

Do you cook for yourselves in a ski apartment in Austria?

Usually yes, since most units come with their own kitchen and living space, but some apartment hotels add services. Mountain Vita in Obertauern lists daily cleaning and breakfast, Chalet Hohe Welt in Lech has a concierge who serves breakfast in the apartment, and Alpenchalets Flachauer Gutshof lists optional half board. Check what each unit includes on its stay page.

What is the difference between a ski apartment and a chalet in Austria?

A chalet is a whole house for one group, while a ski apartment is one unit in a building or resort that other guests share. Apartments often add shared facilities such as a pool or sauna area, but you rarely get the single front door and shared living room of a chalet. Group size is usually what decides it.

Are there ski-in ski-out apartments in Austria?

Yes. Chalet Apartment Bärlerhof in Königsleiten and Alpenparks Rehrenberg near Saalbach have a piste position confirmed by two sources. Several others, including Katschberg Lodge, Carpe Solem Jules in Obertauern and AlpinLodges Kühtai, are listed on the piste by their owners. Ask the owner if you can ski back to the door as well as away from it.

Which ski apartments in Austria sleep large groups?

Chalet Royal at Apart Central in Mayrhofen and Chalet 27 at Alpenpark Turrach both sleep up to sixteen, and Das Kitz in Jochberg has two five-bedroom units for sixteen. Grünwald Resort Sölden lists a Grand Chalet for fourteen. Ask for the floor plan of the exact unit, because resorts sell several categories under one name.

Do ski apartments in Austria include a lift pass?

Rarely, and it needs checking per stay. In this selection, Alpenparks Central Zell am See is the apartment where an included lift pass is confirmed by two sources. For any other unit, assume passes are bought separately unless the owner's terms say otherwise, and ask which lifts and how many days any included pass covers.

Practical questions about apartments in Austria

Do I have to register when staying in an apartment in Austria?

Yes. Guests in tourist accommodation in Austria, including privately rented rooms and apartments, are entered in a guest register within 24 hours of arrival. In practice the owner or reception handles this at check-in, so have each guest's details ready when you arrive.

Do ski apartments in Austria include bed linen and towels?

It varies from one apartment to the next. Some include bed linen, towels and a final clean, while others arrange them separately. The stay pages here do not confirm linen unless two sources say so, so check the owner's terms before booking and ask whether towels for a sauna or pool are supplied too.

Can you take a dog to a ski apartment in Austria?

At some. Alpenparks Central Zell am See and Alpenparks Rehrenberg allow pets according to two sources, and several other owners list pets, including Promi Alm Flachau and Apartmentresort MyLodge in Schladming. Conditions differ by unit, and some resorts exclude pets from particular apartments, so request a pet-friendly unit by name.

Is there parking at ski apartments in Austria?

Many apartments list reserved parking. Apart Resort Rabl in Westendorf lists an underground space per apartment, SGmiatli in Kappl two covered spaces per unit, Chalet Marmotta Culm in St Anton two underground spaces per residence and Berghaus Schröcken four garage spaces. Ask about snow chains and garage height if you drive a larger vehicle.

Are there adults-only ski apartments in Austria?

Sloho Bergurlaub in Hohentauern describes itself as adults-only, and four of its Bergschau'n apartments have their own sauna house according to the owner. The exact age threshold is not published, so ask before booking. Most other apartment resorts in this selection welcome families, and several list family units.
