History
Opened in 2004 in the Ötztal valley of Tyrol, Naturhotel Waldklause is celebrated as Austria's first hotel built entirely of solid wood (Vollholz). Run by the Auer family, it grew from a small local campground into an eco-luxury retreat.
Constructed from Swiss stone pine (Zirbe), larch and fir without the use of glue, the hotel embodies a natural-building philosophy and in 2025 was recognised by MICHELIN as an 'exceptional stay'.
