Hotel Innertalerhof, Gerlos

Run by the Geisler family, this warm and welcoming hotel captures authentic Tyrolean hospitality in the heart of Gerlos. Thoughtful touches are found throughout your stay, from traditionally styled architecture and staff in regional dress to lovingly prepared local cuisine that reflects the surrounding mountains.

Getting onto the slopes is simple, with the main Isskogelbahn lift just a three-minute walk away, providing direct access to the ski area. Experienced skiers can also return to the hotel on a red run, while beginners can easily download back via the gondola for a short walk home.

Food is a real highlight here, with owner Charly preparing dishes using fresh, locally sourced ingredients – some even grown in the hotel’s own garden. After skiing, the Crystal Bar offers a standout après-ski experience, with more than 60 cocktails to choose from. Its sparkling décor, including a crystal-themed fire feature, creates a unique atmosphere, and the house-made crystal gin infused with wild Gerlos berries is a signature favourite.

Wellness facilities continue the local-inspired theme. Guests can relax in a sauna built from repurposed wood from a traditional cow shed, unwind in a steam bath beneath a starry sky-inspired ceiling, or refresh tired legs in a spring-fed Kneipp pool – offering a distinctive and restorative end to the day on the slopes.
