This nature lover’s dream is about 45 minutes’ drive from Salzburg. In St. Martin, among the rocky peaks of the Tennengebirge range, the hideaway consists of two identical vacation homes. As you can see from the pictures, the chalets are not in the village center but on a slope that is also part of the owners’ family farm. So apart from a few grazing cows, there is really nothing to disturb the peace of your vacation.
And if you think that’s special, wait until you see the inside.
Step inside and you are not only at peace but at home – at least, that is how we felt. Everything is spotless and tidy, and each party gets its own parking space, a small garden, cozy rooms for the whole family, a sauna with panoramic windows, a perfectly equipped kitchen, an open fireplace, a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi, a hot tub on the terrace, a barbecue and, as a special bonus … a spectacular view of the mountains.
The interiors are built largely of old wood from the region, with just the right patina. Each chalet has three bedrooms, ideal for four to six people.
In 2016, the Almidylle hosts, Marlene and Christoph, decided to develop this piece of farmland, which belongs to Christoph’s family. They also run a simpler family guesthouse down in the village, the Untersüssgut.
In Christoph’s words: “The place where we built our chalets has always been very special to us. It was where we could leave everyday life behind, in the idyll of the mountains on our little alpine pasture. That’s how the idea was born to share this special place with others.”
Once you get to know them, you quickly understand what these hosts are all about: friendliness is their middle name, and they love the mountains, nature and … a good strawberry cake.

Ideal for
A fairy-tale week in the mountains, ideally for a family of three to six. In winter, the chalet also makes a great base for a week of serious skiing: the Ski amadé ski areas are practically around the corner, and a single pass gives you 760 kilometers of slopes for every level.
Special
Two free e-bikes are available to guests. So you just walk downstairs, hop on and ride up the local mountain. There is hardly anything more beautiful.
Prices
The whole chalet costs from about 410 euros a night for four people, plus a final cleaning fee and local tourist tax.
