Valara - Alpine Art Hotel

Another fantistic holiday! We have been visiting Hintertux and Der Rindererhof regularly for years and there is a reason we keep going back... the hotel is brilliant, perfect location, fantastic food, clean comfortable rooms and wonderful service from all of the staff. The spa, children's play room and new gym are an added bonus. The staff couldn't be more helpful and welcoming. Our sons birthday was the day we arrived and there was a lovely cake and table decorations waiting for him at our evening meal We stayed over Easter and there were a cute little boxes full of treats for everyone on the Sunday morning. Lovely little token gestures that really add a special touch. You get a voucher for the buses which means if there is a bad weather day you can hop on the bus and head down to Mayrhofen for free. We had a super day down there at the pool, definitely worth a visit, and another day in Zell am Ziller, brillaint play/adventure area for children, when there were high winds on the Glacier. The food was excellent, great variety and choice for breakfast and a super evening meal with options for everyone. There was a children's buffet each night and their food was also great (not the nuggets and chips you often find) but lots of options including pasta, chicken, schnitzel, vegetables etc... The rooms are big, clean and comfortable with lovely views of the mountain from the balcony. There has been lots of work & upgrades to the hotel over the past few years and the family rooms are being revamped this summer so we are really looking forward to seeing those again next time. It's a home away from home for us and we will be back again next year. Thank you Andrea, Lara, Elke and all of the team for another brilliant week!

On arrival we were allocated our rooms. I stayed in a single called the Rifflealp, - nice bed although I wish they supplied blankets in Austria as I find those douveys very hot at night. Excellent modern shower, (no bath) , good ventilation , satellite tv, tea/coffee maker,large cupboard,etc. Staff were very pleasant and helpful, boot room , ski lockers that locked electronically with your room card, games room , fantastic breakfasts with a huge variety of cereals, honeycomb honey on a rack, range of homemade? jams, croissants, cheese. Evening meals were a culinary delight although you had to book them in at advance at breakfast. - no problem. The hotel is in a great location next to the base station cable car for easy access to the three stage lifts with a few ski shops and restaurants at each stage incase weather turns. - 3 days it was a white-out, but on the wednesday it cleared revealing perfect powder conditions, although caution is advised when skiing off piste on the glacier but there are warning signs. Apres ski was great at the 'hen house ' over the road from the hotel from 4pm onwards . Shops - Intersport and others are here offering ski services but the hotel offers this at a much cheaper rate. A memorable experience! Will definitely return next year.

Nice hotel very well located at the bottom of the cabins to go on the slopes Food quality is very good offering either a choice of menus or thematic buffet. Have to choose everyday at breakfast The gym, small though, but with high quality machines Friendly staff, especially Edward at the restaurant and Elke at the front office. Clean rooms. Some of them are renovated. Ski lockers are very nice and convenient Didn’t use the spa but some fields from our group did and said it was ok. Will go back next year

Always have a 5 Star stay at Der Rindererhof. The staff, and family, are all very welcoming and always go the extra mile to ensure you are well looked after. The rooms are great, the new gym is an excellent added bonus and the food is perfect (and plentiful). The only negative is that I couldn't stay longer!

So far the best experience we had in Hintertux. Thank you to all the staff. Room, food, proximity of the glacier.......everythink was perfect. It's been 4 years in a row that we come and we'll be back in 2025 for sure........................

A great place, in a location that couldn't be better. The room was spacious, solidly decorated and clean. The staff was professional, friendly and always at your service. The hotel's cuisine was exceptional. Special compliments to the chef for the fish specialties. I avoid alcohol, but I noticed an excellent collection of wines, which are kept in special conditions. In a word, a hotel beyond my expectations.
