Spruce & Steam

For those of us who love snowsports, it’s a dream to spend the morning shredding Austria’s finest mountains, then taking a four-minute drive back to a luxe apartment. From the Saalbach-Hinterglemm resort, this home is conveniently far enough from the hustle and bustle of the slopes, bars, and shops, but close enough that you could pop back for a mug of Glühwein during the day.

This spacious apartment is ready for any season. In summer, you can spend all day on the vast, wraparound terrace. Take in the views of thick forests in the sunshine, or perch here to admire snowy vistas with a hot cup of cocoa in winter. Step in through the glass sliding doors, where you’ll love the rustic vibe no matter the weather.

Find exposed stonework, chunky timber beams, and a wood-burning fireplace behind a glass panel. Its features create an elegant mix of traditional ideals with an edge of modern luxe. This is also true of what you’ll find in the bathroom – your very own sauna for steamy evenings. Of course, after your host has arranged for a private caterer to deliver dinner to your home.

Home truths:
*Your host can provide discount vouchers for ski rentals and ski lessons
*There's no dedicated workspace, but there are some laptop-friendly spots
*The entrance is shared, not private to your home
*This home features its own ski boot heaters and sauna
*Private, on-site parking is available, plus there's a ski bus 100 metres away for taking you to certain slopes during winter
*As this host owns multiple apartments in the same building, the decor and layout of your home may vary slightly from our photos
