A break at 1,420 metres. A holiday home combining traditional charm with modern comfort.

Our berghaus. is situated on a sunny, peaceful hillside above the Defereggen Valley, in the small hamlet of Mellitz near St. Veit in Defereggen. Surrounded by meadows, forests and the impressive mountains of East Tyrol, it is a place to arrive, unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature.

The house combines its original character with the comforts of a welcoming holiday home. Whether you want to explore the mountains with your family, enjoy an active holiday or simply spend a few relaxing days away from everyday life, berghaus. offers the perfect setting.

The House

Space for memorable days together.

Spread over three levels, berghaus. accommodates up to six guests. Three bedrooms with double beds, two bathrooms and a spacious living and dining area provide plenty of room for spending time together as well as finding a quiet corner to relax.

The main living area, with its fireplace, is the heart of the house – a welcoming place for shared meals, reading or relaxing after a day in the mountains. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for a self-catering holiday.

On the lower level, there is another cosy room with a sofa and a wood-burning stove. From here, you have direct access to the terrace and garden.

The furnishings combine the character of a traditional Tyrolean home with modern comforts. Wi-Fi, a Smart TV and a music control system are available for your convenience.

Relax and Feel at Home

The mountains on your doorstep.

One of the special features of berghaus. is its sunny location, offering sweeping views across the Defereggen Valley and the surrounding mountains.

Several outdoor seating areas invite you to enjoy the scenery and fresh mountain air. Whether having breakfast in the morning sunshine, reading a book in the afternoon or enjoying a peaceful summer evening, it is easy to leave everyday life behind.

The house is equally inviting in winter. After a day in the snow, the fireplaces create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Summer in the Defereggen Valley

Discover nature, right outside your door.

The Defereggen Valley is one of East Tyrol's most unspoilt valleys, surrounded by the magnificent mountain landscape of Hohe Tauern National Park.

A hiking trail starts directly at the house. From gentle walks and longer hikes to challenging mountain tours, the surrounding area offers countless opportunities to explore the great outdoors.

Mountain lakes, alpine pastures, forests and impressive peaks shape the landscape. Even during the summer months, the Defereggen Valley remains a peaceful destination, away from the crowds of larger tourist resorts.

If you prefer a slower pace, simply enjoy the views, explore the nearby villages or spend a relaxing day at the house.

Winter in East Tyrol

Snow, mountains and cosy evenings by the fire.

In winter, the Defereggen Valley becomes a peaceful snow-covered mountain landscape, offering a wide range of activities for both active and relaxing holidays.

The St. Jakob in Defereggen ski area is within easy reach of berghaus. and offers varied slopes surrounded by spectacular alpine scenery.

Away from the ski slopes, there is plenty more to discover: cross-country skiing, winter hiking, tobogganing and exploring the beautiful snow-covered landscape.

After a day in the fresh mountain air, return to the welcoming atmosphere of the house. A relaxing evening by the fireplace is often the perfect end to an unforgettable day.
