Berggasthof Hintergföll
A mountain guesthouse with a well-rated breakfast
About this hotel
Hintergföll sits higher into Unken's mountain terrain than the village-centre guesthouses, with family rooms carrying balconies over genuine mountain views rather than a garden outlook like some neighbours nearby. A work desk and wardrobe cover the practical basics, and the restaurant, sun terrace and garden give the property a self-contained feel for an evening that doesn't require a transfer anywhere else in the valley. A coffee shop and outdoor seating area extend the daytime options, and ski storage keeps gear organised between the transfer to Lofer and the next morning's start each day. The breakfast here draws particular praise from past guests, a solid start before a day on the slopes and the drive back afterward.

Our take
Travellers wanting genuine mountain views and a strong breakfast in a quieter Unken setting will find Hintergföll delivers on both fronts reliably. The self-contained restaurant and terrace suit an evening without a second transfer needed. Skiers wanting to be closer to Lofer's lift base for a shorter morning transfer should weigh that against the more elevated, scenic position offered here.
- Don't skip the breakfast, it's genuinely one of the stronger reasons to choose this guesthouse over its neighbours.
- Use the ski storage room daily to keep gear organised for the transfer to Lofer each morning.
- Sit on the sun terrace with a coffee before heading out, the mountain view is best in the early light.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the breakfast lives up to its reputation, a real reason to get moving before a day of skiing out of Lofer's lifts. The mountain-view balcony room felt more elevated and scenic than some of the village-centre options found in Unken proper. Having the restaurant and terrace on site meant evenings stayed simple, no need for a second transfer after the one back from the slopes that afternoon.
