A Review of La Soa in the Austrian Alps

Last summer we won a three night stay in La Soa, a beautiful retreat in the Austrian Alps. I was worried about both accessibility and family-friendliness, but I needn’t have worried. As our most luxurious stay to date, this one is worth sharing! Here’s what we learned about wheelchair accessible La Soa Chalets and Event Lodge and the surrounding areas in Tyrol, Schattwald, and Tannheimer Tal.

The Location

The backdrop of the Austrian Alps and the surrounding hill country views are enough lure for guests of any travel style. The luxury hut village of La Soa in the Tannheimer Tal – a unique high valley in the Tannheimer mountains at about 1100 meters above sea level – invites those seeking relaxation as well as active holidaymakers to take a break in modern luxury chalets in Schattwald in Tyrol. You could be content relaxing in the Alpine village and enjoying the on-site amenities, but there is also plenty of mountain adventure to explore. There are two ski mountains within easy range, a few small towns to explore, and endless views in every direction. We took the train to Innsbruck before taking a bus up the mountain, and we could tell from the very start of our journey that the natural beauty of the area would be unparalleled.

Schattwald

The chalet village is perched on a hill in the center of Schattwald. There is a small grocery and souvenir store just down the hill to the left, and there is an off-campus restaurant to the right. There are bus stops on both sides of the village entrance, but both require navigating hills. La Soa does have a golf cart on campus that can be requested for transportation to and from the bus stops.
