Naturhotel Waldklause: greetings from the front desk
Längenfeld lies in the heart of the Ötztal, where the valley widens between wooded slopes and high summits. Here stands the Naturhotel Waldklause, a family-run house that embodies an unusual ambition: Austria's first five-star design hotel of wood, built from native materials on an extensive forest plot.
A house of wood, glass and stone. The architecture of the Waldklause relies consistently on natural materials — larch and Swiss pine, glass and stone — that let the building merge with its forest plot. This authenticity of material runs right into the rooms and shapes the atmosphere of the whole house.
A NatureSPA with a tree sauna. The wellness area stretches over 1,800 m²: an 18-metre heated outdoor pool, a brine whirlpool and a sauna landscape with a tree sauna, a bio sauna and steam baths. Right next door lies the Aqua Dome, one of the most spectacular thermal baths in the Alps — Längenfeld thus combines the house's own calm with a large thermal-water offering.
A 1,800 m² spa with a tree sauna
The NatureSPA comprises 1,800 m²: an 18-metre heated outdoor pool, a brine whirlpool and a sauna landscape with a tree sauna, a bio sauna and steam baths, plus rest zones in the green. Massages as well as facial and body treatments complete the offering — wellness that brings the surrounding forest into the concept.
Austria's first five-star timber hotel
The Waldklause counts as the first five-star design hotel in Austria built consistently in wood. Larch, Swiss pine, glass and stone determine the building and interior and tie the house into its forest plot — sustainability you can see and smell.
Next to the Aqua Dome thermal bath
Right next to the hotel lies the Aqua Dome, an architecturally striking thermal bath with sulphurous thermal water and floating outdoor pools. The Ötztal itself is a hiking and ski area of the first rank — the spectrum reaches from Sölden to the glaciers.
Location in Längenfeld
The hotel stands in Unterlängenfeld, quietly on the edge of the forest in the middle Ötztal. Sölden, the Ötztal glaciers and the Ötztal Nature Park are within reach, as is Innsbruck via the Inn valley.
