Meeting and making memories.

Story & Hospitality

Meeting and making memories.

More time for each other. Fewer appointments. More real moments.

Our Philosophy

Not your run-of-the-mill holiday address.

Apartments Am Bach is not your average holiday spot. We don't believe in cold, anonymous luxury, and you won't find any rustic Alpine kitsch here. This house is our life's work, run with the genuine, warm hospitality of your host, Maria Kupfner, and her family. Our strength lies not in the furniture, but in the feeling: the quiet location by the babbling stream, the abundance of space inside, and the direct connection to our beautiful village.

A holiday with us is about the little things. Waking up to the chirping of birds during breakfast on the balcony. The laughter of children discovering the private garden and the forest playground. The deep sense of peace that washes over you as you sit with your feet in the grass by the stream after an active day. In the evening, savouring the moments together on the terrace under a clear, starry sky, far from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Maria Kupfner

When the clouds roll in

Here, rain isn't a spoiler, but an experience.

Maria is happy to share her own perspective on less-than-perfect days:

„Even on rainy days, it's worth exploring the mountains. The clouds often pass quickly, and the waterfalls, forests, and side valleys reveal their most impressive side.”
