Garni Schneeburghof
An outdoor pool overlooking the Val Passiria valley
About this hotel
Garni Schneeburghof keeps to twelve Alpine-style rooms, each with a balcony, and centres the property on a terrace and outdoor pool positioned to look out over the Val Passiria valley rather than a garden or the village itself. Free WiFi runs throughout, and rooms come with carpeted floors and a private bathroom fitted with a shower and hairdryer. Breakfast is served either in the breakfast room or on the terrace, a buffet with eggs, cold cuts, cereals and fresh fruit, and once a week the property organises a barbecue evening in the garden. A bar stays open until late, and guests can play golf at the Golf Club Quellenhof Passeier, ten kilometres away.
- Val Passiria valley view
- Outdoor pool terrace
- Weekly barbecue
- Twelve rooms only
Our take
This suits travellers who want the valley view over the village view, with the pool terrace looking out toward Val Passiria rather than back at Tirolo's lanes. The small, twelve-room scale keeps the atmosphere intimate compared with larger garni houses nearby. Anyone wanting a wide breakfast selection or an on-site restaurant beyond the weekly barbecue should confirm expectations, since Schneeburghof keeps its offering deliberately compact.
- Time your pool visit for late afternoon when the light hits the Val Passiria valley best.
- Ask about the weekly garden barbecue schedule when booking, since it runs only once a week.
- Try the golf course at Quellenhof Passeier on a non-ski day if travelling outside peak winter.
Why we love it
- Pool terrace overlooking Val Passiria valley
- Twelve intimate Alpine-style rooms
- Weekly garden barbecue evenings
- Late-opening bar
Why guests love itThe valley view from the pool terrace is genuinely different from the village-facing pools at other Tirolo properties, Val Passiria stretching out rather than rooftops. With only twelve rooms, Schneeburghof felt more like a small guesthouse than a hotel, everyone recognised each other by the second day. We happened to be there for the weekly barbecue, a nice surprise rather than something we'd counted on, and the late-opening bar suited an evening that didn't need to end early.
