Alpenhotel Fernau

Enjoyed an excellent stay in this wonderful hotel, the location is great- just a few minutes walk from the village centre and bus stops in both directions right outside the hotel. Staff all very friendly, helpful and attentive- Monika on reception was excellent. Outstanding food, well prepared and served in a lovely dining room with reasonably priced drinks . My bedroom overlooked the road but I found it very quiet; it was comfortable, well equipped, clean and with a view of the mountains too. Gardens and pool were gorgeous and well kept. Really enjoyed the delicious afternoon cakes- what a treat! So much to see and do in the area- loved Grawa Waterfall; the Stubai Valley is stunning, free transport on the buses, tram and cable cars with the Stubai card is a real bonus! Visited the Olympic ski jump at Bergisel which was amazing and thoroughly enjoyed the Serles Toboggan run- great fun! Don't forget to try the local strudel- it always tastes so much better in the Tyrol! A memorable holiday (travelled with Inghams - highly recommended) and would definitely return! Thank you to all staff at the Alpenhotel Fernau- brilliant!

Fabulous hotel in a nice quiet resort. Staff all very attentive and extremely helpful. As I was getting off the bus in a storm, the waiter came across the road with an umbrella to keep me dry which was lovely. The stubai card is a wonderful bonus and we used it daily. You can do all 4 cable cars in a day (we managed 3). Lots of walks in valley and up / down the mountains suitable for all levels of fitness. The nature walk from the top of schlick 2000 down to the middle station had phenomenal views with lunch at the hut enroute. We went to innsbruck and took cable cars up the nordkette (get innsbruck card) views were breathtaking from both sides at the top. Highly recommend this hotel and resort.

Did a week Apr 23. Not only is the hotel very good, logistics for skiing are superb. Great drying room for ski kit, skis and boots. Bus stop to slopes is a woeful 10metres from the door, however some of the bus drivers pull up right outside on way back and the walk is then only 2 long Metres 🤩. So: Breakfast = fab, then to ski room and bus stop = so easy. We alternated and came back on early lift down around 3:20 to have a bit of Apre in the hotel, hotel does cooler and cake (tea for us!) and the cake selection is 💙🎂. Or, we had a drink on the hill and came down around 4:30. All good. Bus stop busy as it was Easter but we didn’t wait more than 10-15mins (twice). On return I went to sauna/jacuzzi (very German - rules wise!), but very nice esp for relaxing ski muscles, loved it 😍 however wife would join as too bare for her (understandably). However the locals were experts at discretion so all very conservative. Dinner was/is a 6-course affair and for me every night was a 8/10+ dining experience. Really good. My wife is dairy intolerant and the staff went out of their way to cater for this and would cook specific main meals for her if the main menu was not aligned, but usually there was a decent option available. I, being the greedy type totally relished in the evening fayre, it was great every day. The wine choices were decent as well c30Euro/Bottle. Went well with supper courses and the cheese 🧀 Service from the staff was brill too, friendly and caring, they were/are lovely. I know I gush, but tbh this was above what I expected. We were knackered every night after ski school and didn’t have any energy to self cater. We had planned to go out a few nights as the half board option was only around 20-bucks/head. But not only is the Dorf (village) quite pricey, the will to leave the hotel was not there for us, and the hotel sanctuary was immense. If we weren’t in ski school am/pm then perhaps a more relaxed approach would enable going out more, or enthusiasts of self catering. For us this was so perfect and with WIFI being good, I was happy to be in bed by 10, watching Netflix whilst wife and boy went sparko. I didn’t last long myself. We got lucky, the weather was ace, the hotel was ace, the bus was ace, ski schools were ace (Red SCHOOL.. the local council lot!!) the ski hire shop (Inter Sport in the village!) was fab and tolerant. The wife tried in more boots than Cinderella wannabees 🥹 Top tip; if your going to Stubai Neustift is perfect and half board is prob best value, and deffo house-work-free! Enjoy 💙💙🏆
