Description Sweet Cedar: Hermagor

If you were asked to picture an alpine lodge near the Austrian-Italian border, you'd probably imagine something just like this. Built from local logs in a traditional style, it's a modern home in a small complex near the town of Rattendorf and around a twenty-minute drive from the Nassfeld ski resort and the Millennium Express – the longest cable car in Austria. With a family atmosphere, it's perfect for exploring this area in summer or winter.

Inside, it's surprisingly modern with a fresh, unfussy feel. There's a sociable open layout to the ground floor and a well-equipped kitchen, along with three bedrooms and a bathroom divided into a shower room and a WC. Simple and practical, it's got everything you need, along with a delightful balcony on the first floor and mountain views.
