Winter holidays in a chalet – the Damüls-Mellau ski resort right on your doorstep
The Damüls-Mellau ski resort is one of the most attractive in the entire Bregenzerwald: over 100 kilometres of slopes, modern lift facilities and an average of over nine metres of snowfall per winter make the region one of the most snow-reliable ski resorts in the Alps. Anyone planning a skiing holiday at Chalet Damüls will find perfect conditions here – from wide family slopes to challenging freeride runs. You can find detailed information on winter activities on our page about winter holidays in the Damüls-Mellau ski resort.
The combination of chalets and the ski resort makes Damüls particularly appealing: many accommodation options are just a few minutes’ walk from the nearest lift. As well as skiing and snowboarding, cross-country ski trails, winter walking routes and snowshoe tours through snow-covered forests offer unforgettable experiences.
Practical tip for the high season: In the weeks around Christmas, New Year and during the university term breaks, chalets in Damüls are often fully booked months in advance. Early bookers not only secure their preferred accommodation but also frequently benefit from more attractive prices.
Summer holidays in a chalet – hiking, cycling and alpine relaxation
Damüls is by no means just a winter destination – quite the opposite. In summer, the region is transformed into a paradise for walkers and cyclists. Panoramic hiking trails at altitudes of over 1,400 metres, the Bregenzerwald Cheese Route as a culinary destination and excellent routes for e-biking make a summer holiday in Damüls in the Bregenzerwald an experience for all the senses. A Bregenzerwald chalet in summer also offers the perfect retreat after an active day: your own terrace becomes your favourite spot for evenings with mountain views and the alpenglow.
Those who book a chalet in Damüls in summer benefit from lower prices than during the winter season, significantly greater availability and an almost meditative tranquillity that the village exudes during the warmer months.
Prices, booking and cancellation – what to look out for with chalets in Damüls?
Prices for a chalet in Damüls vary considerably depending on the season, capacity and facilities. Simple self-catering chalets for four people start at around 100 to 150 euros per night in the low season. High-end lodges and chalets with hotel facilities, half-board and access to wellness facilities are considerably more expensive – but in return offer an all-inclusive, carefree experience that justifies the extra cost. Winter prices from December to March are typically 30 to 50 per cent higher than summer prices, with the most expensive weeks being around Christmas, New Year and the university term breaks.
- Take advantage of early-bird offers: Popular chalets and lodges in Damüls sell out quickly during the high season – booking early ensures you get the best choice and often more favourable rates.
- Compare direct bookings with booking portals: When booking directly with the landlord or hotel, there are no agency fees, and special requests can be discussed on a more personal basis.
- Read the cancellation policy before booking: ‘Free cancellation’ on booking platforms usually means a deadline of 14 to 30 days before arrival – after that, high fees may apply.
- Check the off-season for better prices: Prices are at their lowest in early summer and late autumn, and you can enjoy Damüls in peace and quiet.
Note on cancellation: When booking directly with the hotel or accommodation provider, cancellation policies are often more tailored and flexible than those on large booking portals. Please enquire specifically before booking – we’d be happy to advise you personally.
