Rattendorf 26 · Gailtal, Carinthia — rebuilt 2025

Asleep by the Gail. Awake in the sun.

Five new apartments in Rattendorf, a village of 313 in the Gailtal — five minutes from Nassfeld, on the sunny side of the Alps. Keep scrolling: night turns to morning as you go.

23:00
Late arrival

The key already knows you.

No reception, no waiting — your door code was in your pocket before you left home. Inside: warm floors, sixty centimetres of brick wall, and a village that went quiet hours ago.

04:30
Before dawn

The quietest hour in the valley.

All 313 residents of Rattendorf are asleep, and so is the road. If you're awake anyway, step out — the Gail below, the Carnic Alps black against the stars, the kitchen floor warm on the way back.

06:00
Daybreak

First light finds the peaks.

Sunrise here is a slow, pink event. Make coffee — your kitchen out-equips most homes — and take the cup outside; the valley needs another hour to catch up with you.

07:30
Morning

Ten minutes to fresh bread.

The village has no shop; it has silence instead. Hermagor covers the rest — bakeries, supermarkets, Gailtaler Speck for the pan back in your own kitchen.

13:00
Midday

110 km of pistes in full sun.

Nassfeld calls itself Austria's sunniest ski area, and midday is the proof. The Millennium Express — the country's longest cableway — leaves five minutes from your door, and the free ski bus stops even closer.

Rattendorf 26

An old Gailtal house, rebuilt from the inside out.

The brick walls at Rattendorf 26 have stood for generations — sixty to seventy centimetres thick. In 2025 everything inside them was built new: triple glazing, underfloor heating from a wood-pellet boiler, kitchens most homes would envy. Five apartments sleep twenty in total, and none of them hears the others.

On the ground floor: a ski room with racks and boot dryers, storage for bikes, a lift to every level. Two free parking spaces belong to each apartment. Beyond the car park: the river Gail, the Carnic Alps, and 313 neighbours who chose the quiet on purpose.

Stars over the Gailtal

A village of 313 makes very little light. The sky makes up for it.

Beyond the door

Skis up the road, bikes at the door.

The free ski bus stops near the house; the Millennium Express — Austria's longest cableway — is five minutes up the road and opens 110 km of Nassfeld pistes. In summer the Alpe-Adria cycle path runs flat along the Gail, straight past the village.

Quick answers

Asked before every arrival.

And when none of these apply, Andrea answers on WhatsApp.

01
When can I check in?
From 5 pm, check-out by 10 am. Check-in is contactless — your door code arrives before you do, so a midnight arrival is no trouble.
02
How far is the skiing?
Five minutes by car to the Millennium Express valley station in Tröpolach, or take the free ski bus. Nassfeld has 110 km of pistes; a ski room with boot dryers waits downstairs.
03
Can I book the whole house?
Yes — all five apartments, up to twenty guests. Family reunions and small retreats fit well. Write to us.
04
Is there parking?
Yes — two free spaces per apartment, right by the house.
05
Where do I shop and eat?
Hermagor, ten minutes away — supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants. There is no shop in the village itself, so plan the first shop on the way in.
06
How do I get here?
Klagenfurt airport is about an hour by car; the hourly S4 train connects Villach to Hermagor. Free parking waits when you arrive.
07
Are the apartments new?
Rebuilt from the inside out in 2025 — triple glazing, underfloor heating — behind the original sixty-centimetre brick walls. A lift serves every floor.
