About Hotel Briem
Hotel Briem is a family-run property in the heart of Westendorf, offering 50 rooms across a 400m² footprint with direct access to the Ski Welt — one of Austria's largest interconnected ski areas. The hotel is managed by the Briem family, giving it a personal character that larger resort hotels rarely achieve. Rooms are configured as standard Austrian twins or singles, with twin rooms accommodating up to three guests via an extra bed. Bathrooms are en suite throughout, with twins offering a bath or shower and singles featuring a bath. Dining is taken care of in-house, with the restaurant drawing on both Austrian tradition and broader European influences. After skiing, guests can move between the bar, lounge, spa, and a large south-facing sun terrace. The pool and sauna round out the recovery options. Ski-in, ski-out access is a genuine feature here, with the nearest lift just 400 metres from the front door — close enough to be practical, without the noise of being directly on the piste.

Location
Westendorf sits within the Ski Welt Wilder Kaiser–Brixental, giving skiers access to over 280 kilometres of marked runs without changing resorts. The village itself is compact and walkable, with Hotel Briem positioned close to the centre — meaning restaurants, shops, and après-ski are within easy reach on foot. The nearest ski lift is 400 metres from the hotel, a straightforward walk in ski boots. Westendorf is well connected by road and rail, with Kitzbühel reachable in under 20 minutes by car and Innsbruck Airport approximately 80 kilometres away. The village has retained a traditional Tyrolean character, making it a more grounded alternative to the higher-profile resorts nearby.

Westendorf is a picturesque, traditional Tyrolean village that consistently wins awards for its beauty. Nestled on a sunny plateau, it offers direct access to the massive SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental, one of Austria's largest interconnected ski areas. The resort retains an authentic, unhurried charm with its onion-domed church, cozy chalets, and welcoming atmosphere. Skiers and snowboarders are drawn to Westendorf not only for its local sunny slopes but also for its strategic position. It serves as a vital link between the SkiWelt and the renowned Kitzbühel ski area via the Ki-West gondola, offering ambitious skiers virtually endless terrain. The local Westendorf mountain, the Choralpe, provides some of the steepest and most varied terrain in the SkiWelt. Beyond skiing, Westendorf is famous for its vibrant yet friendly après-ski scene, excellent mountain huts, and extensive winter walking trails. It perfectly balances the amenities of a world-class ski destination with the warmth of a traditional Austrian alpine community.
Westendorf offers brilliant local slopes including long cruising reds and the SkiWelt's steepest black run, the Alpsegen. It acts as a gateway to the 288km of the SkiWelt domain and features one of the region's top terrain parks.
One of Austria's largest and most modern interconnected ski areas, featuring 288km of pistes and 90 modern lifts.
