Beautifully appointed Alpine Chalet in the Styrian Mountains overlooking the Town of Murau and the River Mur Valley
Chalet Elsa is a true jewel with a view! A building with its oldest parts dating back to 15th century. It is a unique heritage building in a very privileged location with all modern amenties included. It has been in our family since 1954. Perfect for skiing, hiking, relaxing.
Also available for rent. The website is www.chalet-elsa-murau.com.
The building envelope was renovated and a modern district heating system installed in 2013/2014. in 2017, the upstairs bathroom and toilet were re-created from scratch.
Washing machine and dryer as well as kitchen (basic but very well equiped including dishwasher, microwave and a wealth of appliances) are located on the ground level. Four bedrooms upstairs (two with king size beds, one with a double bed (140 x 200), children's bed room with bunker bed). The two master bedrooms have large balconies with fantastic view. Wellness oasis with a rock shower (summer only), a new sauna with a large panoramic window and a terrace with deck chairs on the north side of Chalet Elsa were finished in 2014. Garden on the front and the back of the house. Beautiful roofed porch and large professional Weber BBQ station in the front garden. Big trampoline available as well as hammock and swing, tree house half finished.
The area surrounding our place is idellay suited for families and those seeking solitude and quietness. A perfect skiing resort (Kreischberg.at) is around the corner (5min) and many atractions for children and adults can be found within a few minutes
