[DEUTSCH]   [ENGLISH]

Obertilliach feels like a village gently paused in time—a peaceful mountain hamlet set on a sunny high plateau in the East Tyrolean Lesach Valley, surrounded by lush meadows, deep forests, and the quiet strength of the Carnic Alps.

Here, time slows down. It’s not about how fast you move, but how deeply you live the moment.

In the heart of this unhurried world lies the Almfamilyhotel Scherer—a true family hotel, but refreshingly free of clichés.

The architecture speaks for itself: modern wood design, clean lines, and large windows that invite the landscape inside. Plenty of glass, plenty of space, and a whole lot of heart—with no frills, no fuss.

This isn’t a flashy resort, but a hotel with a clear sense of purpose: honest, warm, and family-run. Everything is thoughtfully designed around family life—not with nonstop entertainment, but with real sensitivity to the different needs of every generation.

Here, kids can be kids, and grown-ups never feel like they need to compromise to make that happen.

Inside and out, the hotel bears the unmistakable signature of the Scherer family, your gracious hosts. Nothing feels artificial or overdesigned—just plenty of natural wood, warm tones, smart materials, and a light concept that creates true comfort.

Wide hallways, open spaces, and cozy nooks make room for both movement and stillness. There are lounge areas to unwind, children’s zones for free play, and quiet spaces where adults can breathe easy.

One of the most beautiful touches? The way the architecture subtly reflects its purpose. This is a place where family-friendly and design-driven don’t cancel each other out—they live side by side, effortlessly.

The Almfamilyhotel Scherer isn’t about putting life on pause—it’s about transforming the everyday into something meaningful: shared moments, lasting memories, and genuine experiences.

And you feel it the moment you walk through the door.

The cozy family suites at Almfamilyhotel Scherer are much more than a place to sleep—they're thoughtfully designed retreats where families can truly unwind.

Spaciously laid out with separate bedrooms for parents and children, the suites offer just the right balance of togetherness and personal space. Clean lines, natural light, and high-quality materials create an atmosphere that’s both soothing and functional.

Here, alpine charm meets modern family living. You’ll find plenty of storage, child-friendly features, and interiors that favor natural materials—especially stone pine and reclaimed wood, both known for their calming effect and ability to support a healthy indoor climate. The suites are allergy-friendly, making them ideal for families with sensitive little ones.

And then there’s the view: every suite has its own private balcony, overlooking the Lesach Valley, blooming meadows, deep green forests, and the towering Carnic Ridge.

In the evening, as the light softens and the shadows begin to stretch across the hills, you’ll find a moment of complete peace—with a glass of wine in hand, your children fast asleep next door, and that rare, quiet feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be.

When parents need a little break, there’s a small but perfectly formed wellness area just for them—offering soothing warmth, deep silence, and a few precious minutes to yourself.

Unwind in the Alpine sauna with a mountain view, the gentle steam bath, or the infrared cabin. The calm relaxation room is made for exhaling deeply. For those wanting to indulge, massages and spa treatments are available—warm oils, skilled hands, no pressure, no rush.

Looking to relax together? The spacious family water world is made for exactly that. The heated infinity pool offers stunning views of the Lesach Valley and invites both splashing and floating. Indoors and out, there's space to play, swim, and snuggle.

Here, the transition from children’s laughter to silence feels seamless—and that’s exactly what makes this place so special.

At Almfamilyhotel Scherer, the adventure begins the moment you arrive.

Right next to the cozy lounge, little explorers will find a spacious indoor play zone complete with a mud room, creative corners, and plenty of space to run wild. Every day, the Himbeergolli Kids Club offers age-appropriate care and activities—from crafting and games to hands-on nature experiences. Here, curiosity is taken seriously.

Outside, a large natural playground awaits, with a mini stream, balancing course, trampoline, and ample room for scooters, Bobby cars, and open-air fun.

A daily highlight: visiting the Almfamily farm, home to chickens, goats, rabbits, hamsters, and, of course, ponies—the stars of the show when it's time for a village pony ride, reins in hand and smiles guaranteed.

For budding climbers, there’s an on-site climbing wall with auto-belay system, so even the youngest can test their skills safely. And then there’s the family water world, where heated pools and the thrilling triple-slide water chute make for unforgettable splashy fun.

In winter, snow adventures begin right at the doorstep with the hotel’s private beginner ski slope and in-house ski school for children.

And if the weather turns? There’s always the kids’ cinema, creative workshop, and the lovingly supervised kids club—a space where little guests quickly become fast friends.

The best part? Kids get to be kids here—wild, loud, joyful.

And parents? They get to exhale, let go, and recharge, knowing the entire hotel is safety-conscious, thoughtfully designed, and tailored to families from top to bottom.

Dining at Almfamilyhotel Scherer means food cooked with love, served with flair, and something for everyone at the table.

Mornings kick off with a hearty East Tyrolean breakfast that leaves no craving unfulfilled: fresh bread, regional cheeses and cured meats, homemade jams, seasonal fruit, muesli, and even breakfast eggs the kids have helped collect from the farm.

Lunchtime offers light snacks—think warming soups, small hot dishes, and fresh salads. Kids enjoy their own dining area with the Himbeergolli Kids Club, making it perfect for hungry adventurers or quick bites between outings.

Afternoons are all about the Alm-Marend: homemade cakes, fresh fruit, and a selection of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. And for the little ones (and grown-ups too), there’s a 24/7 juice bar where everyone can help themselves anytime.

Evenings get truly special with Chef Thomas Ebner, a Michelin-starred talent, presenting a five-course menualongside a three-course kids’ menu—always fresh, regionally inspired, and with a touch of finesse. Vegetarian, vegan, or allergen-friendly options? Served with a smile.

Best of all? The atmosphere stays relaxed and family-friendly—no dress codes, no fuss, just genuine enjoyment. And of course, kids get to be kids during dinner, too.

Almfamilyhotel Scherer is more than just a hotel — it’s your gateway to the breathtaking East Tyrolean mountains.

Right outside the door, you’ll find easy strolls, scenic family hikes, and mountain bike trails suited perfectly for both little adventurers and grown-ups. Many routes are stroller and carrier-friendly, making them ideal for families on the move.

One summer highlight is the Kindermeile at Golzentipp, easily accessible via gondola from the village. Along this themed trail, 13 interactive play stations invite kids to climb, balance, and explore— all set against a stunning mountain backdrop. At the trail’s end, the Conny Alm offers a warm welcome with homemade local treats and a terrace boasting spectacular views.

Just across the valley lies the idyllic Klapfsee, a turquoise alpine gem perfect for a family-friendly circular hike. For those wanting more, a climb up to the Porzehütte rewards with mountain views and hearty homemade soup.

When winter arrives, Obertilliach turns into a cozy snowy paradise. Right behind the hotel is a kids’ ski school, where beginners take their first turns with zero stress and zero travel time. The Golzentipp ski area is small, family-friendly, and perfect for those who prefer wide-open spaces over crowded slopes.

Cross-country lovers will appreciate Obertilliach’s award-winning Nordic ski center, a training ground even for pros. Plus, there are winter hiking trails, snowshoe paths, a natural toboggan run, and plenty of peaceful snowy expanses for those who savor the quiet magic of winter—no lifts required.

Best of all: many tours and excursions start right at the hotel, no car needed, no detours. Sometimes, all it takes is sitting in the sunshine, watching the kids play, and stealing a quiet glance at the mountains.
