Holiday information

 

A winter holiday in St Jakob, Tyrol,

for skiers and non-skiers
To the south of Salzburg, the Kitzbühler Alps in the Tyrol have long attracted the world’s leading winter sports enthusiasts to some of Austria’s finest domains. Yet, right in the heart of this region lies the tranquil and secluded valley of Pillerseetal, very much on the ‘quiet side of the mountain’.
St Jakob im Haus is one of five villages here, framed by forested hills and high peaks. It feels a long way from the hustle and bustle of nearby Kitzbühel and, as well as being the sunniest village in the Tyrol, offers an unhurried pace of life and a wide variety of ways to enjoy the snow – in addition to the plentiful cross-country skiing and winter walking options, visitors can try their hand at snowshoeing, downhill skiing and tobogganing, or even explore the idyllic wintry scenery in a horse-drawn sleigh.

All activities are easily accessed from the Kitzspitz, a superb Nature Hotel with first-rate spa facilities. run by the wonderfully welcoming Nothegger family.
 

Our expert says

“It’s unusual for a hotel to have so much on its doorstep! Cross-country and winter walking trails lead from the Kitzspitz’s main entrance, while the downhill skiing is just to the rear.”
Rebecca Bruce, Inntravel snow holiday expert

Winter activities

There’s no fixed itinerary, so take your pick of the activities as the mood takes you.
  • 110km in the Pillerseetal region; best suited to beginners & intermediates
    One of five villages which make up the World Cup region of Pillerseetal, St Jakob is blessed with a plentiful supply of cross-country trails – which start virtually from your hotel door. These trails link into the wider regional network, across which bus travel is free of charge with your visitor’s card. A trail pass is required to access the trails.

    Those around St Jakob, and the neighbouring village of St Ulrich, are relatively easy, criss-crossing meadows and passing through the woodland that surrounds both villages. For more challenging options, it is best to catch the bus to nearby Hochfilzen, a regular host of World Cup events. Here are some of our favourite options:

    Around St Jakob, ‘Sonnenloipe’: 4km
    This ‘sunny trail’ is an undulating route which offers lovely views of the surrounding mountain ranges – including the imposing 1,996-metre-high Kitzbüheler Horn – as it passes along the valley floor to Moosbach.

    St Ulrich loop: 8km
    Accessed by free, local bus, this relatively flat option is surprisingly varied: it crosses two rivers; enjoys a very peaceful section amid woodland; and meanders through the hamlets of Schwendt, Au and Neuwieben before reaching St Ulrich.

    Hochfilzen Pass-Griessen: 9.5km
    Also accessed by bus, this route rises and falls as it heads across the state border into the province of Salzburg. For a shorter day, simply turn around whenever you wish to return to Hochfilzen; otherwise, the full route continues to Griessen and also includes a loop beyond the village.

  • 100km in the Pillerseetal region
    Nestled in a quiet valley, and framed by forested hills and high peaks, St Jakob has access to a good network of winter walking trails. A number of these lie just a few steps from your hotel; others can be reached using the regular local bus service (free of charge with your visitor’s card).
     
    All trails are well signed, and the snow specially flattened to facilitate walking. In the detailed documentation we provide, we give an overview of our four favourite options, including the following two routes:

    St Ulrich-Pillersee-Adolari: 5km
    This beautiful route commences in the neighbouring village of St Ulrich, from where it leads first alongside the Grieselbach river, and then to the eastern shore of Lake Piller. On reaching the head of the lake, choose either to retrace your steps or to continue to Adolari, where you’ll find a restaurant and a 15th-century pilgrimage church dedicated to St Adolari.

    Fieberbrunn to Tennalm: 3km
    Having caught the bus to Fieberbrunn, you follow a quiet road up to the Tennalm mountain inn. Situated at an altitude of 1030 metres, this restaurant offers a splendid backdrop against which to enjoy dishes of traditional Tyrolean fare.
    Tranquil Lake Piller
  • Snowshoeing, downhill skiing & more
    With a weekly programme of activities organised by the local tourist office, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the snow in this pretty valley.

    Snowshoeing
    Getting to grips with snowshoeing is easy – as soon as you are comfortable with walking in the wide shoes, you are ready to step off the beaten track and explore St Jakob’s silent, unspoiled landscapes. We include one guided snowshoe hike (with equipment provided) for all holidays commencing between 9-23 January and 5-20 March 2022.

    Downhill skiing
    Downhill skiers of all levels will enjoy St Jakob’s slopes: the small ski area just behind the hotel offers 22 kilometres of pistes and is ideal for beginners and intermediates; while the larger domains of Waidring and Fieberbrunn – situated at opposing ends of the valley – both have a good choice of pistes for all abilities and are only a short bus ride away. Fieberbrunn, at the southern end, is linked to the extensive Saalbach Hinterglemm Ski Circus with over 270 kilometres of slopes.

    Tobogganing
    Borrow a toboggan free of charge from the hotel and try out the local run! St Jakob’s 1.5-kilometre run is open daily and is located half an hour’s walk from the Kitzspitz; at the bottom, you’ll find the Kröpflstüberl restaurant – ideal for refuelling after your ride.

    Horse-drawn sleigh rides
    Or, for something more sedate, why not explore the snowy scenery by horse-drawn sleigh? Your hotel is able to organise good-value sleigh rides through the Pillersee Valley, starting from the Strasserwirt riding school in St Ulrich.

  • Enjoy the views from Jakobskreuz
    Even if you have no plans to downhill ski, be sure to ride the chairlift to the summit of the Buchensteinwand mountain, located just behind the hotel. At 1,456 metres high, this may not be the highest peak in the area, but it is home to Jakobskreuz (Jakob’s Cross) – a hugely distinctive, 30-metre high building in the shape of a cross. While the building was designed primarily as a meeting space, most visitors come to admire the spectacular, 360-degree views from the various viewing platforms, and to enjoy a relaxing lunch or delicious apple strudel in the neighbouring restaurant.

  • Special events
    Christmas Eve is celebrated with traditional singing as well as a special gala dinner. On New Year's Eve, a gala dinner is followed by a midnight buffet, and fireworks in the village.
 

Where you stay

Attractive St Jakob in Haus is one of five villages which shelter in the valley of Pillerseetal, an all-year-round holiday region in the far north-east of the Tyrol.

The village (altitude: 856m) is quite small, with just a small supermarket, a bank with an ATM, a post office and a couple of cafés. A wider choice of shops, cafés and restaurants can be found in neighbouring Fieberbrunn, just five minutes away on the ski bus.

Please note: most beds in Austrian hotels are normally one large base with two mattresses/duvets. We refer to these as 'Austrian Twins' and they are locally regarded to serve requests for both double and twin bedded rooms. Separate twin beds or traditional double beds with one large mattress are rare and cannot be guaranteed.

  • Choose a leisurely route on Austria’s NightJet sleeper train. Leaving London late morning on a Friday, you can reach Austria with just one change of train in Amsterdam. Enjoy dinner in this vibrant city before boarding the sleeper, then wake up refreshed in the Austrian Tyrol. Look out for an impressive medieval hill-top fortress to the left of the train as you approach Kufstein station, where you alight for a transfer to the hotel.

    On weekends when the direct London–Amsterdam Eurostar is not running, you can take a route via Brussels to Cologne, where you can have dinner by the Rhine before joining the sleeper.

    The Kitzspitz is an excellent hotel with wonderful facilities. We particularly enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool and the spa. We also really enjoyed the skiing at nearby Waidring and Fieberbrunn. The numerous Covid QR code checks at the ski lifts and the mountain restaurants made us feel really safe. It was our first holiday outside the UK for 2 years and we had a marvellous time.

    Useful tips: refuse to have room 111 as one of those allocated to you. Take thin clothing for the dining room in the evening.

    A really lovely snow walking holiday, lots of trails easily found, sometimes by using free bus routes. Hotel Kitzpitz super, food accommodation and staff first class. Would definitely go back to this hotel. Salzburg add on good, it’s a great city to explore over a couple of days. Altstadthotel Wolf-Dietrich hotel, because of refurbishment left a bit to be desired. Although our room was in the annexe opposite the main building, building work on the main building started around 7 and woke us. We breakfasted in a room in the main building which had builders working within 10 metres of us, not convivial to the eating. Rosa the manager sort of made up for this by her exceptional manner. Kitzspitz 10 out of 10. Altstadthotel 7 out of 10 we wouldn’t return.

    INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers added a stay in Salzburg following their winter holiday in St Jakob.

    A great balance of ski trails and winter walking opportunities.  Very friendly hotel with excellent facilities and lovely food. 

  • Mr A Brockington
    London
    08 February 2020

    We had a really good holiday which allowed us to take in downhill skiing, cross country skiing, and winter walking: The local downhill skiing was a little limited for us (advanced/intermediates) due to the small area but would be great for beginners, and extensive ski runs were easily accessible via the ski buses at Fieberbrunn and Steinplatte: The local skiing area is fairly quiet, so no lift queues or ski hire queues. The ski buses also serve the local cross country skiing routes and winter walking: And they're free.

    Hotel Kitzspitz is brilliant, very friendly, very good food, and a superb swimming pool and spa area.

    I think that our personal highlights were the cross country skiing from the front door, and the afternoon swim on return. 

  • Mr G Hood

    Cross country trails were excellent and well groomed. They suited our standard.

    The indoor/outdoor pool was great!

  • TS
    18 January 2020

    It was one of the best winter holidays. Hotel Kitzspitz is amazing, the location is excellent. We were very lucky with the weather too. It snowed on the 1st day and it was sunny for the rest of the holiday. I was doing cross country skiing and the trail starts just a few steps from the hotel entrance. There is a good choice of trails with amazing scenery. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The spa is very good with indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, steam room and many relaxation areas, although the spa can get very busy, particularly in the afternoons. All facilities and rooms in the hotel are spotlessly clean. I would not hesitate to recommend the area and the hotel.                          
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • If your holiday plans go awry because of Coronavirus, rest assured that we’ll do right by you. Since the start of the pandemic, our flexible booking policy and prompt issuing of refunds to customers who prefer not to defer their holiday have earned us high praise in the national press.
  • We sincerely hope that your holiday experience will be as enjoyable as it would have been before the pandemic – activities such as winter walking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are ideal in these times of social distancing, and we’re not operating holidays if the key highlights can no longer be delivered – but, naturally, there will be some changes to ensure your and other people’s safety, not least proving your vaccination status or taking a test in order to travel.

  • In the Alps, most hotels have a vegetarian menu. Please contact us for specific information about this particular hotel.
  • Living far from the capital ourselves, we know better than most that flying from London can be a bind, so we are very flexible with our travel arrangements. Call or email us, and one of the team will be happy to list the different options available to you, and any price implications.
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact Abi and Lizzie to discuss your plans.
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s).

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    You don’t have to take out a policy with our recommended provider (if you live outside the UK you’ll definitely need to make your own arrangements, as the policy is only for UK residents), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    We'll ask you for the details of your policy (insurer, policy number and medical emergency phone number) so that we can help out if the worst happens while you are on holiday. It's up to you, though, to check that your policy covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs; we don't check alternative policies.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Austria, but not a visa. If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
