Hôtels à Sankt Martin bei Lofer
Sankt Martin bei Lofer is a small mountain hamlet near the Maria Kirchental pilgrimage church, offering a handful of family-run guesthouses close to Lofer's lifts.
Hotels at the ski in Sankt Martin bei Lofer sit in one of the smallest villages sharing the Loferer Alm ski area, known locally for the baroque Maria Kirchental pilgrimage church tucked into the forest nearby rather than for any lift of its own. The handful of guesthouses here, including Gasthof zur Post and Gasthof Maria Kirchental, keep to family rooms, home cooking and mountain views over anything resembling a resort scene. Skiers base themselves here for the quiet and drive or transfer the short distance into Lofer for the Loferer Almbahnen cable car each morning. It suits travellers who want to be close to the Loferer Alm slopes without a village-centre address, and who value a genuinely rural evening over ski-in convenience or nightlife.
