Our family’s connection to Wörschachwald goes back more than 40 years. My mother built the very first holiday home in the village, and since then this beautiful place has held a special place in our hearts. We have spent countless summers and winters here, creating memories surrounded by breathtaking mountains, peaceful forests, and the unique atmosphere that makes this region so special.
Over the years, we realized that we wanted to share this feeling with others. That’s why we decided to offer our holiday homes to guests from around the world – so they can experience the same peace, nature, and hospitality that have meant so much to our family for decades.
Hosting is something we truly enjoy because it allows us to help create unforgettable holidays for our guests. Whether you’re here to hike, ski, relax in the sauna, or simply enjoy the incredible view of Mount Grimming, we hope you’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive.
