Cabin vacations in the mountains made easy: The best tips for your getaway in the Alps

Authentic, rustic alpine huts were not built for tourism. They were originally constructed by farmers who owned their own alpine pastures. During the summer months, the dairy farmers lived there with their cattle, where the tastiest grasses and herbs grew, producing dairy products, bread, bacon, and much more besides. The cattle drives up and down the mountain pastures with magnificently decorated cows are still a highlight in the mountain regions today and cause cheerful chaos in the villages and on the streets.

Today, these old alpine huts are often no longer used for farming. Some of the farmers want to make these treasures accessible to vacationers, offering them a very special kind of getaway. So if you want to get back to nature and to your roots, a hut vacation with Almliesl is just the thing for you. No two alpine huts are alike; each has its own unique character.

In the middle of nature, surrounded by forest and farmland, a lot of old wood has been used to build these historic , rustic huts. You will always find friendly residents there, such as Lore the house spider and Franz the dormouse. Fritz the mouse also likes to snack on cheese, bacon, or cookies whenever he can. The heart of every hut is the living room. A cozy sitting area, a simple kitchen, and a stove for heating and cooking. A well in front of the hut with crystal-clear water serves as a "refrigerator." Showers and toilets have been added to many huts, but some still have an outhouse.
