Sonnenbalkon-LuxusLodge Bärenkopf – your holiday home with a panorama

Family apartment of the Walser Lodge on the upper floor · 70 m² · 2–6 people · all year round · pet-free

📍 Austria · Vorarlberg · Kleinwalsertal · Mittelberg-Höfle · 1,100 m · 🏔️ Allgäuer Alpen

At an altitude of 1,100 m the 70 m² holiday apartment „Bärenkopf" in Mittelberg-Höfle welcomes you – ideal for 2–6 people. When you open the balcony door you experience birdsong, fresh alpine air and the morning light above the summits. The open living and dining area with oak parquet, panoramic windows and a modern Bulthaup kitchen is perfect for relaxed meals. Two bright bedrooms with extra-long duvets and a comfortable bathroom with a level-access shower provide recovery. In the evening the sauna in the house awaits you with a view, while the sun disappears behind the mountains.

Families feel at home here very quickly: cot, high chair, bed rail and changing mat are there, as is an adventure playground. In summer you set off on a hike or mountain bike tour straight from the front door, or play at the Breitach – floating little sticks or skimming stones. In winter there are the first toboggan runs in the snow or the first turns right next to the house for practising. Thanks to the digital Allgäu-Walser-Pass you use the WalserBus in the valley free of charge; with matching mountain railway packages you also get comfortably to many summits in summer.

The south-west balcony becomes the favourite spot – for coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at sunset, always with a wide mountain panorama of the Bärenkopf, Widderstein and Mittelberg.

Walser Lodge – your mountain home with a view

From the very first step you feel it: here your family holiday with heartbegins. The children giggle at the playground outside the door, allergy sufferers sink comfortably into pillows and blankets, while in the evening you relaxedly put laundry and equipment into the washing machine or dryer – freshness for everyone, every day. When quiet sets in, you simply switch off the WiFi, take a deep breath and enjoy the silence of the mountains. You order breakfast and dinner comfortably at the Gasthof Alpenblick opposite – simply reserve and let yourself be spoiled.

For cold days there are two exclusive garage spaces (€8 per night, please reserve in good time), and outdoor parking spaces are always available to you. With your digital Allgäu-Walser-Pass you travel free of charge with the WalserBus in the Kleinwalsertal – get off, marvel, let go: the valley becomes an alpine adventure for you and your loved ones.

If you would like more space, you flexibly combine the LuxusLodge „Bärenkopf" with „Elferkopf", „Zwölferkopf", „Widderstein", „Hammerspitze" or „Ifen" – so you enjoy the alpine feeling together and still all have your own privacy.

Your mountain adventure begins here – and we from urlaubshuetten.com are there for you with heart when you set off for the Kleinwalsertal.

Frequently asked questions about the Sonnenbalkon Lodge

How many people does the Sonnenbalkon Lodge sleep?

Up to six, with a south-west balcony and a view of the Bärenkopf.

What is there for babies and toddlers?

A cot, bed rails and a changing mat are provided – you will travel with noticeably less luggage.

Can I reach the Kleinwalsertal without a car?

Yes. The WalserBus stops outside the door and is included via the Allgäu-Walser-Pass. If you want a place in the Kleinwalsertal without a car, this is it – arrive, park once, leave the car standing.

Is a sauna included?

Yes, the panorama sauna of the Walser Lodge is included for guests. It is shared between the lodges – so it is not a private sauna inside the apartment.

Are dogs allowed?

No. The lodges in the Kleinwalsertal are pet-free, which also makes them suitable for allergy sufferers. For a hut that takes dogs, look at our places in Tyrol, Salzburg, Carinthia and Lower Austria.

Where exactly is the Kleinwalsertal?

The valley belongs to Vorarlberg in Austria, but by car it can only be reached via Oberstdorf in the Allgäu.
