Hotel & Appartements Heigenhauser
Family rooms and mountain views near the Steinplatte
About this hotel
Heigenhauser sits in the middle of Waidring, close enough to the Steinplatte that the ski area is a genuine daily routine rather than a drive. Rooms split between the main building and an annex reached through an internal tunnel, useful on a snowy morning when nobody wants to step outside twice. Balconies look out over the surrounding mountain landscape, and the restaurant serves traditional dishes alongside a bar for the evening wind-down. A tabletop football table gives kids something to do between ski days, and the scenic village setting means the walk from the hotel already feels like part of the trip. Lake Piller sits a few kilometres away for a non-ski excursion.

Our take
Families with children skiing at different levels get the most from Heigenhauser's mix of ski-school access and the tunnel-connected annex for easy movement between rooms and communal areas. Couples wanting quiet luxury or a wellness-heavy stay should look elsewhere, since the focus here is practical family comfort rather than a spa centrepiece.
- Ask for an annex room if you're travelling with young children, the internal tunnel keeps mornings simple.
- Book ski school through the hotel early in the season, Steinplatte lessons fill up during school holidays.
- Use the tabletop football table on rest afternoons, it keeps kids occupied without a trip into the village.
Why we love it

Why guests love itTravellers with young skiers find the tunnel between the annex and the main building solves the usual morning scramble, since boots and gear stay dry moving between rooms and the breakfast room. The mountain-view balcony room made the Steinplatte feel close even before heading out, and being right in the middle of Waidring meant an evening walk didn't require the car. Ski school pickup from the hotel simplified the whole week.
