Berggasthof Ploerr
Heidi country — and if gentle walks with heavenly views, healthy home cooking and the only entertainment a pack of cards are what make your perfect holiday, then you'll love it here.
The Vigl family run the guesthouse and nine-hectare farm with quiet efficiency. Maria Luisa does the cooking and son Herbert looks after the cows and the guests.
Rooms are simple with spotless white duvets on new pine bed, balcony (south-facing, in most cases) and a view. Take your own big fluffy towel if you can't live without one! For breakfast there are their own eggs, served outside in the fresh mountain air.
This is also a popular lunch stop for walkers. Pretty alpine tables and cushioned benches are yours for the evening. Children will be in their element, with the endless fields and the cows.
Gentle Herbert was anxious to emphasize that the family still think of themselves as farmers, and they open their house to guests in the best tradition of hospitality. You will be made very welcome.
