If you are staying in Alpbach and you are looking for a clean, quaint, comfortable spot, stay at the Haus Berwald.
Wonderful views from the balcony - one can watch the clouds and storms roll over the distant Alps.
Had planned to stay only two days but actually came back for another two days at the end of my time in the Alps on my back to Munich and flight home.
Katharina is the perfect hostess. Reservations are easy to make online.

We arrived at the Haus Bergwald to a warm welcome from Katharina our host. Her attention to detail was faultless and her rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable with spectacular views over the mountains. The beds were very comfortable especially after a days skiing!
At breakfast we were offered the choice of cheeses,hams, cakes,pastries,cereals and hot eggs with tea or coffee- a great start to the day! Katharina always remembered our order and our coffee was waiting for us each morning.
Haus Bergwald is located in the most beautiful spot- just above the village in a quiet spot surrounded by the most picturesque scenery you can imagine!
The drive to the gondola is only 5 mins away and easy with children as you can leave your boots in a heated rack and leave your skis in a store at the gondola. No moans and groans from the children carrying heavy skis!!!
The hospitality of Katharina was amazing throughout our whole stay and she can help you with ideas of restaurants and book them too. Before we arrived she helped me with info about ski schools and lift passes. Nothing was too much trouble.
The Haus Bergwald is a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be back next year.

We returned again to Katharina and her wonderful house - our third revisit.
Katharina is the most marvellous host - she just can't do enough for you. I celebrated my birthday during the week and was greeted with flowers, champagne, chocolate cake as well as wonderful singing ! This time we stayed in one of the apartments at the house and was not disappointed. The facilities were fabulous - very clean and amazingly comfortable. The view did not disappoint either with comfortable chairs on the two balconies. Breakfast was plentiful and set us up for a great days skiing on the slopes.
One of the main things that struck us this week was the quality of the guests in Katharina's house - everyone was just lovely - friendly, chatty and always with a smile. I would recomend the Bergwald to anyone - it is better than all the expensive hotels in the village and Katharina is certainly a better host. She gives that personal touch that is rare to find in today's world.

A place where we were three years in a row and we will not stop! In the first year we were like newlyweds and the last time with a group of friends. It seems incredible but we felt great in both situations. Katharina (the owner) is the greatest host. All things are Tyrolean up to the smallest detail. Clean is impeccable and the breakfast is enough to give you the energy needed a full day skiing. Important! when you get there ask for a ride horses. Our advice to everyone: you must get at least once. Then you'll love Bergwald....
