A lovely family run hotel. Our stay was made all the better with the help we received from Famlie Egger who directed us to some very good skiing. Breakfast was always plentiful, a good choice with eggs cooked freshly and however way you would like them. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Its an easy walk into Hofgarten (about 12 minutes) and the ski bus leaves just opposite the hotel. Its only a few minutes on the ski bus to the main lift. We did have a car so drove to Brixen, Scheffau and Itter on some days to get the best snow. It was very easy to drive to these other villages. We will definitely return to the Garni Tirolerhof

    The hotel is fantastic - a very spacious room with a nice design. The SPA is fantastic with 3 types of saunas (Finland, bio, and infrared) and steambath, as well as a very nice pool with warm water. Unfortunately, I could not enjoy all the facilities as I was pregnant but my husband really liked them. The breakfast was delicious with a lot of healthy options - I think that this was one of the best hotel breakfasts I had.

    Westerndorf itself is very nice and quiet, not the most lively place I've been to, so wouldn't recommend it if you are young people looking for parties... My main issue was that the entire ski area is not great. It's considered the second largest in Austria, but it's pretty low, and global warming means that the snow there is terrible (even in February). Most of the pistes were too short for my liking and not great. We ended up running away to Kitzbuhel the next day, and it was much better

    Hopfgarten im Brixental is a great option for friendly good...

    Hopfgarten im Brixental is a great option for friendly good skiing at a great price along with authentic Austrian cooking. Hopfgarten has three large supermarkets and at least a dozen decent restaurants so there is plenty to keep your family busy and fed when they aren't skiing or hiking. European ski values are phenomenal compared to the USA (tickets are $55 - 75 for half day/full day) and Austrian slope difficulty ratings are a little understated compared to America, so Although Hopfgarten and its several connected mountains appear to be mostly "intermediate" in difficulty they can range from intermediate to high intermediate, which is good. plenty of lifts at connected mountains to explore for extra runs and varied apres ski adventure and you are only 30 minutes from the larger towns of Worgl and Kitzbuhel by train or car.

    Great, and spacious place. Very large living room combined with kitchen. Kitchen is well equipped. On a rainy day we watched TV- Amazon, and Netflix with your account working. They even have a sauna - we were there in 30 degree Celsius, so not needed. Clean air, and you can see Bambi at the back of the house. Have cows and great places nearby to hike. Restaurants and groceries are nearby, 5 minutes by car. Excellent choice with family or friends. The family running the place is kind and sweet, very helpful.

    We spent most of our time on the ski slopes, which were vast and, well kept and fun to ski on. We loved to have lunch in the mountain, although quite a few restaurants in the town were nice too. It's a small enough town so it's easily navigated. We loved the skiing as a family but would love to return in summer, as it looks like their summer outdoor lifestyle would be great for us too.

    I've spent many winter months in Hopfgarten, while the town has reduced in variety of bars its definitely matured into a lovely base to ski/snowboard from. In the winter months it's the calmer town to start from with easy access to the gondola and plenty of accommodation available at very reasonable prices. In summer the mountain hikes and landscape are wonderful for bike rides and the town itself is a calming oasis in an often busy world. I've used it as an escape on more than one occasion.

    Pleasant small ski-in/ski-out town with a handful of (traditional Austrian and Italian) restaurants, some reasonably large supermarkets. Close to Kitzbűhel (5 km/3 miles) and surrounded by very nice attractions within an hour's drive (Krimml Waterfalls, Wilder Kaiser, Bad Gastein/Hofgastein). Abundance of skiing options in winter at your doorstep. As with most European cities and especially towns, Kirchberg is walkable. For anyone fearing for their cars due to the elements, it also has a paid underground parking.
