Family Vacation at the Alpinhotel Berghaus

A home for the whole family

A family vacation at 1,400 meters, right on the Hintertux Glacier.

In the morning, the kids are the first ones at the indoor pool; in the afternoon, everyone comes back from the mountain hungry; and in the evening, you can sit back and enjoy your meal in peace while the little ones help themselves to their own buffet. That’s what a day at the Berghaus is like when you come with kids.

For Families

It's the little things that make a vacation with kids a breeze.

That the pool is still open in the evening when everyone wants to take another dip after dinner. That the bus stops right outside the door and no one has to carry their ski boots halfway through town. That there’s something to eat at three o’clock because no child can wait until seven.

For us, this isn’t a concept—it’s just evolved over the years. Families have been living here since 1958—now in the third generation—and over that time, we’ve learned pretty much exactly what matters.

Summer with Kids

Hiking withoutanyone complaining

The secret lies in the route. The Tuxbach Adventure Trail runs right through the heart of Madseit, and every few hundred meters there’s something new to discover: a slide, a wobble board, a cable car for butterflies. Kids don’t even realize they’re hiking.

Tuxbach Nature Trail

There's a path that runs through the entire valley, and it passes right by us

It starts in Vorderlanersbach and ends in Hintertux. In Madseit, it crosses the stream, right by our place. So you can start right where you live and walk as far as the kids want to go.

The suspension bridge with a climbing station is located here in Madseit
A winding slide, the "Zwergerlwald" with a wobbly bridge, and the "Butterfly Flight" cable car are scattered along the route
You can get through the areas between Juns and Madseit, as well as between Vorderlanersbach and Lanersbach, with an all-terrain stroller
There are stamps for the Explorer Pass at the stations; you can pick up your reward at the information office
You can take the public bus back; it runs every ten minutes.
Animals, Water, Snow

Three things children experience here for the first time

Our cows are at the Aue Farm, and your children are welcome to stop by anytime
At the Eggalm, the marmots are whistling, right next to the water playground at 2,000 meters
In the natural swimming pond, they swim without chlorine, surrounded by wooden docks and a sunbathing area
And up at 3,250 meters, there's a snowball fight in July
Out in the Zillertal Valley

Playgrounds from the
Valleyup to 3,250 meters

Living with Children


: Space forthe Whole Family

The best accommodation for you depends less on the category than on the age of your children. A baby needs a corner where they can sleep while you’re still talking. A teenager needs a door they can close. We have both, ranging from 20 to 143 square meters. Suites and apartments are located in the buildings across the street, and a tunnel under the road takes you—in your bathrobe—over to the wellness area.

When you're traveling with a baby

More important than square meters is the little corner where your little one sleeps while you're still sitting together.

This rate applies when two adults in the room pay the full price. A third adult stays at a 20 percent discount. You can see the exact cost of your stay in the room selection screen once you've entered the names of everyone traveling with you.

Gourmet & Culinary Delights

At our place,
even the littlest ones will befull

You can add our ¾ gourmet board plan to any room. It begins with breakfast, continues in the afternoon with an afternoon snack, and ends in the evening with a set meal. Much of the food is grown nearby; the beef, lamb, and game come from the Aue farm, which is owned by our family.

Breakfast table at the Alpinhotel Berghaus
In the morning · 7:30 to 10:00

A Leisurely Breakfast

We allow three hours so everyone can arrive at their own pace. At the buffet, you’ll find local bread, cheese, and bacon from the Zillertal, fresh fruit, and homemade spreads. We’ll prepare egg dishes to your liking, and for the kids, we’ve got everything they need for a morning before heading out into the mountains.
Afternoon · 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Snack After the Hike

Anyone coming back down from the mountain is hungry. That’s why, in the afternoon, we offer hearty and sweet treats from our family-owned farm, along with nutritious fitness snacks. It’s the perfect energy boost after an active day, and it keeps you going until dinner.
In the evening · 6:00 p.m.

Five courses and a separate buffet

Starting at 6 p.m., our kitchen team prepares a multi-course meal featuring meat from our own farm and locally sourced vegetables. During peak season, the kids can help themselves to their own buffet while you enjoy your meal in peace. And if you’d rather have fries or schnitzel, we’ll make them fresh for you anytime.

We'll warm up the baby food in the kitchen whenever you need it.
We're happy to prepare vegetarian, gluten-free, or lactose-free meals—just let us know in advance.

Questions Families Often Ask Us

Are children allowed in the wellness area and the sauna?

You're very welcome. The Panoramahallenbad is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and is heated to 32 degrees, so even the youngest children can stay in for a long time. Children are allowed in the outdoor block sauna as long as you're with them. The other saunas and relaxation areas are reserved for adults, so that everyone gets what they came for.

How much cheaper is it to travel with children?

If two adults pay the full rate for a room, children up to age 3 stay for free; those up to age 6 receive a 60 percent discount; those up to age 14 receive a 40 percent discount; and those up to age 17 receive a 30 percent discount. A third adult pays 20 percent less.

What's the deal with the local tax for children?

That requirement no longer applies—until the end of the calendar year in which your child turns fifteen.

Which rooms have separate sleeping areas?

In the XL Double Room and the XL Lifestyle Studio, a sliding door separates the living area. The Superior Suite has two separate bedrooms, while the Deluxe Suite has four, each with its own bathroom. There are connecting doors between an L Double Room and a Single Room, as well as between two Comfort Suites.

Can we get two rooms next to each other?

Generally speaking, yes—just let us know when you make your request. Rooms with connecting doors are in high demand and book up quickly, so it’s worth contacting us early. We’ll then set aside a suitable option for you.

How many people can fit in a room?

That depends on the category. The Deluxe Suite with Private Spa, at 143 square meters, accommodates up to nine people, while the Superior Suite, at 75 square meters, accommodates up to five. Up to four people can stay in the Comfort Suite (54 square meters), the Lifestyle Studio XL, and the Double Room XL (both 40 square meters). The Green Living Apartment and the Double Room L (both 35 square meters) are suitable for three people.

Is there a crib and a high chair?

We're happy to provide both—just let us know when you make your request. We can heat up the baby food in the kitchen at any time.

Is there a kids' buffet?

During peak season, there’s a separate buffet for the kids in the evening where they can serve themselves while you enjoy your meal in peace. And if anyone would rather have fries or schnitzel, we’ll make them fresh at any time.

When are breakfast, snack, and dinner served?

Breakfast is served from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., afternoon tea from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., and dinner starting at 6:00 p.m. You can book the ¾ gourmet board plan, which includes a five-course meal, with any room.

Do you offer vegan, gluten-free, or lactose-free dishes?

Of course. Our kitchen team will prepare it fresh and tailored to your preferences. It’s best to let us know when you make your request, so everything will be ready when you arrive.

What do we do on a rainy day?

The indoor pool is open from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and experience has shown that this keeps you busy all day. Board games are available at the front desk, and a snack is served at 3:00 p.m. If you do want to go out, we’ll be happy to tell you what’s open in the area, no matter the weather.

Can we leave our ski gear inside the house?

Yes, that's what our ski and bike storage area on the ground floor of the Green Living Apartments is for—it's just a few steps from the ski bus stop. There are also ski boot dryers there, so no one has to put on cold boots the next morning.

How do we get to the mountain railways with children?

The ski bus stops right in front of the house and runs every ten minutes. In three minutes, you’ll be at the Hintertux Glacier; in seven, at the Eggalmbahn; and in ten, at the Rastkogelbahn in Vorderlanersbach.

Are the hiking trails suitable for strollers?

There are a few. The aquatic and plant worlds of the TUX Worlds are great for sliding, as is the Luis Ball Safari on the Sommerberg. Tell us how old your children are, and we'll find the right course for you.

Can we bring our dog?

We'd be happy to accommodate dogs of all breeds and sizes, in any room category, and year-round, for 24 euros a day. He's welcome to join you for dinner in the fireplace lounge. Please bring a blanket or his bed; we'll provide a food bowl and water.
