Search hotels in Tulfes

Tulfes is a hidden gem to get away from it all. Not far from Innsbruck, so you can easily go for a day in that lovely city, but far enough away and up the mountainside to feel completely out of the rat race. The village itself has a few restaurants and the odd bar/shop but not much else. There is a Spar supermarket and fuel 5 mins away by car in the next village. The views on a clear day are just unbelievable - and I say this as a Scot who is no stranger to the Scottish mountains! Tip on the restaurants if you require gluten free - they're not great I'm afraid. Very few options. If you dont speak German its a bit tricky as most places dont have translated menus or websites, so you either have to speak German or hope you find someone who speaks your language... Tulfes has a superb cable car that takes you a good way up one of the mountains, but the last 650m ascent is up to you! There is a fantastic woodland adventure at the first station (the cable car to the top is in two sections) where kids can hire a 'kugel' (wooden ball) to run down fixed or build-your-own wooden runs. €10 each but €8 refunded on return of the kugel, so thats €2 each for hours of healthy fun, away from screens, in fresh mountain air.

Friendly hotel mostly occupied by hikers and people that appreciate quiet. We stayed here for one night in transit. It was not cheap - if you search you could find better value for money but overall this was a good place to stay. The pool is very nice with a great view of the mountains. For dinner we had to go in town - in the village there was not a lot of choice but Innsbruck is just 30 mins drive down the mountain. I would recommend for hikers and mountain bikers
