When we arrive back at the ElisabethHotel later on, we round off our active afternoon with a dip in the basalt pool. The perfect end to this first day is a candle-lit dinner in one of the cosy restaurant lounges. While we’re eating in the Herzerlstube (Heart Lounge), we have plenty of time to marvel at the antique silver heart-shaped ornaments dating from a bygone era that are displayed on the walls. Soothing piano music is the ideal accompaniment to our evening, and it’s still tinkling away in our ears when we get into bed. Tired legs and refreshing drinks On Saturday morning, it’s all about getting up that mountain! We grab our rucksacks and
start the ascent to the Olpererhütte. Situated at 2,389 metres above sea level, the hut looks out over the Schlegeisspeicher body of water in the Zillertal Alps and makes all the physical exertion worthwhile. We order Kaiserschmarren (chopped up sweet pancakes) and enjoy the view of the Zillertal 3000 ski area. Upon our return to the ElisabethHotel, we can feel that our calves are worn out so we decide to bring them back to life with a massage in the Elisense Treatment Area. The interesting architecture of the Elisense spa provides ample space and tranquillity with saunas, steam baths and the basalt pool, while the water beds in the quiet room allow you to float away into a dream world. We choose to put our feet up in the Minotti Relax
