Anyone who recognises this song from the 1950s will know that it continues by referring to a very special fragrance. Exactly which fragrance isn’t specified, we just know that it’s seductive. Perhaps it’s the calming scent of lavender from a mountain pasture, or the powerful fragrance of pine from the parlour. Maybe it’s referring to the sweet smell of Kaiserschmarren (chopped pancakes) coming from the tavern on the mountain. If the song had come from Paznauntal, all of that may well have been the case. At the Bergwiesenglück boutique hotel, it smells the same indoors as it does outdoors, and that doesn’t mean it just smells of fresh air. Eyes and nose at the ready.

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the first flowers are poking their heads out of the ground – spring will soon be here and with it the end of the ski season. Or is it? Not at all! Have you ever heard of spring skiing? Now is the perfect time for a second helping of alpine fun. Not least thanks to the firn. The ideal starting point for your search? The Bergwiesenglück, located in the middle of a Tyrolean ski paradise with something for everyone.

A holiday at the Bergwiesenglück boutique hotel and chalet doesn’t just have a lasting impact on the heart and soul – nature also has reason to be grateful for the efforts of the two hotel owners Anna and Rudolf Schuchter when it comes to protecting the environment.

Happiness at the Bergwiesenglück. Slow living. Breathtaking views. Unwinding. That’s exactly what you’ll find at the retreat in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps. Not far from Ischgl and Kappl, this boutique hotel is the ultimate haven of tranquillity. Rudolf Schuchter told us all about it.
