Location and what's nearby

static map

Ritzlerhof 1, 6432 Sautens, Austria

The small, traditional mountain village of Sautens sits at the doorway of the Ötztal Valley, at the foot of the Acherkogel mountain in Austria's Tyrol. In winter, the family-friendly Hochoetz ski resort sits ready for powdery action, with 80 kilometres of slopes across the Acherkogel mountain. Then there's the Sölden ski resort, which is famed for 145 kilometres of slopes and après-ski buzz. Winter hiking, cross-country skiing and tobogganing are also popular here, with a tobogganing run lit up each night right behind the hotel.

In summer, you'll see undulating hills blanketed in green and meadow flowers all around, with jagged snowy mountain tops rising beyond. Hikes abound, and water sports can be enjoyed on the Ötztaler Ache river. Traverse high ropes through forest and across the river at the Ötztaler Outdoor Parcours obstacle course or swim in Sautens' local, open-air pool.
