ON THE TRAIL OF VISION AND TRADITION
From the first glimpse of the KRAFTalm, you sense: this is no ordinary retreat. And it's sisters Marion and Evelyn who make it happen with a unique blend of visionary spirit and deep roots in the region. In the former family ski lodge, they have implemented their creative ideas both architecturally and in terms of content, so that guests find themselves in an ambience that takes their breath away and at the same time feels as down-to-earth as if they had always been here. As soon as you wake up in the morning, it's obvious that you don't have to climb any more mountains here. You have already arrived. At the middle station of the Salvista cable car, the only "means of transportation" to reach this mountain paradise. A paradise where time seems to stand still and everyday life becomes a distant memory. Whether on the deck by the infinity pool with mountain spring water or in the sauna relaxation room, everywhere are small oases of peace and relaxation where you can lose yourself. And while your head finds room for inspiration again, you discover books everywhere – evidence of the wanderlust and thirst for knowledge that Marion, Evelyn and their guests share here.
WINTER IDYLL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SKI AREA
However, the KRAFTalm is not just a summer love. In winter, the refuge transforms into the heart of "Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser – Brixental". A place where you can experience not only winter, but skiing in its purest form. Here, the day begins with watching the first skiers at breakfast and then diving into the winter landscape yourself. "Ski in, ski out" takes on a whole new dimension when you stay in the middle of the ski area.
The location of the KRAFTalm, directly on the slopes of the mountain Hohe Salve, allows not only breathtaking descents, but also moments of silence and wonder. For example, when you watch the snowflakes in the warm panoramic infinity pool after an extensive day of skiing or let yourself be enchanted by the impressive snowy backdrop in the relaxation room.
CULINARY DELIGHTS AND DESIGN IN HARMONY
But not only nature has a leading role in the KRAFTalm. Also in culinary regard the restaurant "Bergrefugium" sets standards. Evelyn, the younger of the two sisters, provides unforgettable culinary delights in the kitchen. With regional delicacies, often directly from the family's own farm, she creates a fusion of traditional Tyrolean cuisine and modern food sharing.
The design of the KRAFTalm also speaks for itself: modern meets traditional, rough concrete meets warm wood, contemporary architecture meets family history. Here you can see how creative and sustainable visions can be implemented. Old curtains from past ski lodge days become stylish wellness bags that underline the sustainable concept of the KRAFTalm and are a popular souvenir among guests.
IT'S AN EXPERIENCE, A PHILOSOPHY, A FEELING – WHERE NATURE, FRIENDSHIPS, AND LIFE INTERTWINE.
A PLACE FOR ALL SENSES
The KRAFTalm is more than just a place to spend the night. It is an experience, a philosophy, a feeling. It's the place where you sit by the fireplace after a day in the great outdoors, enjoying the house's own gin and watching the snowcats dance the night away. It's the place where you meet up with old friends and make new ones. It is the place where you fall in love again and again – with nature, with people, with life.
For all those who want to experience the special charm of the mountains in a whole new dimension, the KRAFTalm is more than just an insider tip. It is a promise to all the small and big moments that make life so precious.
