From lakes and wildflower trails to winter pistes, Chalet Falk offers a unique year-round private getaway in one of Austria’s most pristine Alpine regions.

Hidden at the end of a quiet valley in Austria’s Carinthian Nockberge mountains, Chalet Falk is not the kind of place you stumble upon. It’s the kind of place you seek out—precisely because it feels a world away. A private Alpine residence built with intention and restraint, it offers guests a rare luxury in modern travel: silence, seclusion, and freedom. And not the empty kind of silence, but the full-bodied quiet that comes with rustling forests, slow-moving brooks, and a night sky so dark you can see stars that feel close enough to touch.

Yet despite this sense of seclusion, Chalet Falk is surprisingly accessible. Eight international airports are within a one- to four-hour drive. The journey itself sets the tone—whether along scenic routes like the Grossglockner or Nockalmstraße, or by optional heli shuttle—panoramic views ease you into the right frame of mind well before you arrive.

Once you arrive, space, silence & exclusivity unfold

Spread across 250 square metres of refined indoor living and set on over 1,600 square metres of private alpine land, Chalet Falk hosts just one party at a time—accommodating up to 8 guests from a minimum stay of 4 nights. Whether you come as a couple, with family, or for a retreat among friends, the experience remains entirely yours.

Four elegant en-suite bedrooms for up to 8 guests in total, along with generous open-plan living areas indoors and out, create a sense of space that is both expansive and deeply cocooning.

At the heart of it all: the Falk Lounge—an 11m span glass-fronted sanctuary with panoramic views, open fireplace, and a floating gallery that invites both quiet contemplation and warm conversation.

Inside, the design blends Japandi minimalism with the warmth of traditional Alpine materials—a tribute to both its location and its slow luxury philosophy. Craftsmanship is bespoke, materials are natural, and nothing is overdone. It’s Alpine elegance at its finest.

Outside, the landscaped garden flows into the forest and toward a quiet brook. Beyond it, a gentle Alpine meadow unfolds, dotted with grazing cows in summer. There’s a fire pit for star-lit evenings and unforgettable sundowners. And a private spa with a panoramic sauna and four ultra-comfy hanging loungers. The outdoor pool with integrated Jacuzzi is heated year-round to a soothing 32-33 °C—perfect after a day out in the mountains, or simply for doing nothing at all.

Your Days, Your Pace—Seasonal Beauty, Timeless Alpine Stillness

Whether wrapped in deep winter snow or bathed in golden summer light, guests shape each day entirely on their terms—skiing quiet slopes or even heliskiing untouched terrain when conditions allow, snowshoeing through silent forests, or easing into the spa after a morning hike. As the seasons shift, so do the possibilities: panoramic hikes, Alpine swimming, stand-up paddling in still waters, or exploring the region by e-bike. Tennis is available throughout the year. And for those who favour unhurried moments, there’s always the fireplace, a fine vintage, and the rare luxury of complete stillness.

In winter, 24 lifts and over 100 kilometres of pistes are just minutes from the chalet. Thanks to its sheltered position south of the main Alpine crest, the region offers not only reliable snow but also more than 100 extra hours of sunshine compared to resorts further north. Several additional ski areas are just a short drive away—all accessible with a single ski pass, ensuring maximum variety and full flexibility throughout the season.

In summer, the Nockberge become a natural playground for hikers, cyclists, and lake lovers. Chalet Falk lies where the mountains meet the lakes—far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life or crowded destinations. Even in high season, the region remains tranquil and spacious, offering room to breathe and reconnect. Trails wind through larch forests toward quiet peaks and lakes of surreal clarity—turquoise, warm, and pristine.

Your Elevated Golf Escape

From April to October—and often beyond, from early March to well into November—Chalet Falk also becomes an exceptional base for golf enthusiasts. With the Alpe-Adria Greenfee Card, guests enjoy access to up to 15 top-tier courses across Carinthia, Slovenia, and Italy—from championship layouts to peaceful fairways nestled in alpine valleys. Just ten minutes from the chalet, the 18-hole course in Bad Kleinkirchheim offers a scenic and challenging option right on your doorstep.

And the best part? Up to three green fees per person are already included in your stay—and in spring and autumn, that benefit even doubles to six, thanks to an exclusive 2-for-1 bonus.

A Retreat of Slow Alpine Living

What sets Chalet Falk apart—beyond design and discretion—is its deep immersion in Alpine nature. A place that transforms beautifully with all seasons.

Culture and cuisine are deeply woven into every stay. Carinthia reflects a blend of Austrian and Alpine-Adriatic influences, and the culinary experience at Chalet Falk—either enjoyed full independently in the high-end kitchen by cooking with your loved ones, getting pampered with your private chef in the chalet, or at nearby Slow Food restaurants and local producers—stand for regionality, freshness, and quality at the highest level.

This is not a hotel. It’s not even really a holiday home. Chalet Falk is a retreat in the truest sense of the word. It’s a place to pause, to spend your next best time together with your loved ones, and to rediscover the beauty of doing very little, very well.
