On our lists

The Ermitage is a family-owned five-star wellness hotel in Schönried, about five minutes' walk from the station and open all year. The Lutz family has owned it since 1977, and the spa is the reason to come: about 3,700 m² of it, with a 35 °C saltwater brine pool that runs indoors and out, a 17 m outdoor sports pool heated to 31 °C in winter, and seven saunas and steam rooms, one of them built around an old schnapps still.

Most bookings include three-quarter board: breakfast, a soup and salad lunch, the afternoon cake table and dinner in one of eight themed Stuben. Guided hikes and ski or bike tours run Monday to Friday, and cross-country tracks start at the door. The lifts are close, but you do not ski to the hotel. Families get suites of up to 87 m², a playroom and a games room, and the hotel is the official partner of the Menuhin Festival.

The catch at Ermitage

  • The sauna world is a mixed nude zone where swimwear is not allowed, and 16 to 18-year-olds need an adult with them. Source
  • Cancellation is strict: from 30 days before arrival up to three nights are charged, and the full stay within seven days. Source

Good for

  • Spa weeks for couples
  • Multi-generation family stays
  • Menuhin Festival visitors

Not for

  • Guests uncomfortable with nude saunas
  • Skiers who want to ski to the door
