Our take
Bauernhofer is a family-run four-star at 1,132 metres on the Brandlucken, inside the Almenland Nature Park in Styria, and it is a nature and wellness retreat rather than a ski-resort hotel. The spa area and wide views over the landscape are the draw, most rooms have a balcony, and parking is free. I would book it for a quiet winter break with walks and spa time more than downhill skiing. A 9.1 from 264 guests is excellent.
- Book a room with a balcony to fully enjoy the striking panoramic views of the Almenland Nature Park.
- Make sure to explore the spa area; it's perfect for unwinding after a day in the mountains.
- Unwind in the regional specialities and homemade pastries at the hotel restaurant for an authentic taste of the region.

Why guests love itNaturhotel Bauernhofer is the family-run four-star I recommend near Heilbrunn for families who want quiet and nature. It stands at 1,132 metres on the Brandlucken, in the Almenland Nature Park, with panoramic views over the landscape, and most rooms have a balcony. The spa area covers the end of the day, and free parking and WiFi keep things practical. My advice: choose it for calm and the setting, and drive to the nearby slopes rather than expecting a ski-in hotel.
