Das Mountain Getaway - The Penthouse: Ausblick in die Stubaier Berge

I'm 37, and built Doug's Mountain Getaway with the purpose to help guests explore one of the best locations in the Alps from a different style of accommodation, which offers more. I love games, beautiful building materials, gadgets, technology, comfort, and sharing fun, happy times with loved ones - so I integrated all of that into your apartment :)

Oh, and of course I also love sports and activities, which is why I bought a massive range of kit for you to use, from volleyballs to sledges to rock climbing gear to beach games... The range of things you can do around here is mind-blowing!

The location is hard to beat. It's nestled within one of Austria's most spectacular valleys, Stubaital, and surrounded by some of the country's highest peaks and top ski resorts. It's a 10 minute drive from Innsbruck (dubbed 'the heart of the Alps'), and is abundant with adventure activities of all kinds from Olympic bobsleigh to paragliding right over the village.

The 100km+ of pistes in the valley's four main resorts are impeccably maintained. Schlick 2000 is accessible via a 15 minute walk from the chalet (or free bus), and the Stubai Glacier (snow guarantee 10 months of the year), Elfer, and Serlesbahnen are all accessible by a free shuttle bus that stops right next to the chalet.

100% snow guarantee! You can ski and snowboard at the Stubai Glacier every month of the year except July & August.

The summer activities are equally bountiful – hiking, biking, lakes, mountain carting, and rock climbing to name but a few. I've compiled a guidebook of all my favourite activities – it'll keep you busy for two weeks straight whatever the weather.

There's a wine fridge built into the Black-Scorpion’ granite kitchen, along with Miele, Kitchen-Aid and SMEG appliances.

Why not fall asleep gazing at the stars under the large ceiling windows - and wake up to them opening automatically at your chosen time (rather than that disappointing alarm noise you're used to!
