Haus Elfriede

Haus Elfriede is situated in the landmarked village centre of Schwarzenberg. The spacious wooden building with its typical “Bregenzerwälder” (Bregenz Forest) shingles stands in a very sunny location. Wood also plays a significant role in the holiday apartment. Everything is custom-made by craftsmen from the Bregenz Forest.

While this was important to us, it was mainly about tradition. And sustainability, which is also very important for us, as demonstrated by our eco-friendly wood heating system and hot water produced by our solar energy system.

We built our home in 2001. Since 2013, we have rented out our approx. 55m² holiday apartment – with plenty of room for up to 6 people, making it ideal for family holidays. The balcony offers an impressive panoramic view of the valley and the mountains.

But it is not just the furnishings that make our home so special. Time and time again our guests confirm that life amongst the stylish comfort and genuine warmth is simply good. Our guests are supposed to feel at ease.  

You can hike through the winter splendour on snow-covered paths. Here, in this untouched landscape you can experience the peace and power of nature with particular intensity.  Whether as a tour hiker, snowshoe or winter hiker, in Schwarzenberg and at Bödele, you will find many beautiful routes, such as in the Fohramoos. This nature reserve thrills even cross-country skiers with a unique trail that leads past spruce forests and bog land over the upland moor.

You can go skiing just a 5-minute drive away in our family-friendly natural snow Bödele ski resort. It’s just 10 minutes to the largest ski resort in the Bregenz Forest: Mellau-Damüls. You can even leave your car where it is and simply take the bus to your chosen ski resort. The bus stop is just 3 minutes away by foot.
