Lovely summer holiday, would love to visit again for winter
We travelled as a family of 3 (me, my wife and our 18 month old) to the Schönbacher late August for our summer holiday.
On the day that we travelled from Munich of Hopfgarten, we did so via lake Konigsee (worth a visit if you're in the area). This took longer than expected so we gave the hosts a few hours notice that we would arrive later than expected and they very accommodating of this.
Upon arrival we were given a tour of the chalet by the hosts. It was clear immediately that they have spent a huge amount of time improving and refurbishing the property to a very high standard.
The ground floor is open plan, with a well equipped kitchen (we cooked every night), large dining area, cosy TV area and central wood burning fire place. The ground floor also has a large panoramic window overlooking the Hohe Salve mountain. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms and modern bathroom. Outside there are extensive decked seating areas, sun loungers, a dining table, BBQ and sauna/hot tub for winter use.
The chalet is located a very short drive from Hopfgarten in a secluded spot next to a small reservoir. There is a road that runs around the chalet and up into the hills but it's not really visible from the chalet and is generally a quiet road.
We found plenty to do in the area, taking the Hohe Salve and Kitzbuhel gondolas up for a walk, exploring the local area, travelling to Speicher Zillergrundl (near Mayerhofen), Aurach wildlife park and on 2 wet days Innsbruck and Kufstein.
