House Hannes Schneider

Style

Cosy as cocoa

Setting

Alpine townhouse

Sleeps

Bedrooms

Like a warming cup of hot chocolate, House Hannes Schneider brings the après ski glow. Named after the turn-of-the-century local known as the father of modern skiing (his statue stands just outside), this slopeside chalet is a mix of Alpine kitsch and modern living. Floors and ceilings are clad in wood, bold modern art and black-and-white family photographs – of the owner’s gold medal-winning ski champ father, naturally – line the walls, and faux fur throws are draped over plump armchairs. The bedrooms – there are six, and all with ensuite bathrooms – are on the top two floors of this split-level townhouse; the modern kitchen, cosy living room and a private spa with a hot tub and sauna are on the ground floor. Pass the bobble hats – we’re heading to Austria.

First Glance

Photos

Modern with strong nods to its Alpine roots, the townhouse is clad top-to-toe in wood, like the town cousin of a cosy woodland cabin. Owner Gertrud has liberally lent family portraits, trophies and vintage skiing gear to the decor.
The fully equipped Gaggenau kitchen is thoroughly modern, with minimalist Alpine accents. Don’t fancy cooking? Catering can be arranged on request for an extra charge.
The modern open-plan living room has wooden walls and ceilings and over-sized deep sofas topped with plump cushions.
The dining area is part of the open-plan living room and has a long rustic table that seats 16 guests.
There’s a playroom on the ground floor with a tot-sized cinema and craft corner.

What this alpine townhouse lacks in outdoor space (there is none), it makes up for in proximity to the centre of the village, just a sidestreet away, and the ski slopes, a four-minute walk from the house.
