Family Holidays in Nauders. Making Memories togehter.

Story: Family Holidays in Nauders. Making Memories togehter.

Little adventures. Big memories. And plenty of time for the people you love.

A family holiday in Nauders means fresh mountain air, adventures together and endless opportunities for little and big explorers alike. Whether you're skiing in winter, playing and hiking in summer, or simply enjoying a few relaxing days in the mountains, here in Tyrol every family can find its own holiday rhythm.

And at Arabella Retreat & Spa? You'll enjoy the freedom of your own apartment, along with all those thoughtful little comforts that make travelling with children so much easier.

We, the Moritz family, would love to share what makes Nauders such a special place for families, which adventures are best suited to different ages, and why it's not just the children who can relax and feel right at home here at Arabella.

1. Family Holidays in Nauders: Why the Mountains Are Good for Everyone

Sometimes, it doesn't take much to make a family holiday truly special.

A little fresh air. Space to play. New things to discover. And, most importantly, time together – something that often feels in short supply in everyday life. https://www.hotel-arabella.com/en/nauders/

Nauders is nestled in the heart of the Tyrolean mountains, right where Austria, Italy and Switzerland meet. In winter, snow-covered slopes and wonderful days in the snow await. In summer, it's all about green meadows, hiking trails, playgrounds and little adventures in nature.

And one of the things we love most? You don't have to plan every minute of every day.

There's plenty to explore. But you're just as welcome to do absolutely nothing.

And to us, that's what a family holiday is all about.

A little honesty: If you're looking for huge theme parks and a packed entertainment programme from morning until night, Nauders might not be quite what you have in mind. But if your family loves the outdoors, enjoys being close to nature and appreciates a little peace and quiet along the way, you'll feel wonderfully at home here.

2. Nauders with Babies & Toddlers: Taking Things at Your Own Pace

Travelling with a baby or toddler is wonderful. But it can also come with a few little challenges.

Suddenly, the day's plans revolve around nap times. Breakfast takes a little longer. And sometimes, all you need is somewhere peaceful to retreat to.

That's exactly why staying in an apartment can make family holidays with little ones so much more relaxing.

Here at Arabella, you'll have your own kitchen, cosy living areas and plenty of space to enjoy each day in a way that works for your family.

Breakfast at eight? Lovely.

Prefer half past nine because everyone enjoyed a lie-in? Just as lovely. https://www.hotel-arabella.com/en/apartments/

Outside, Nauders offers opportunities for gentle walks and those magical first experiences in the snow. In winter, the Winter.Wunder.Welt is a lovely place for families who want to discover the snowy landscape away from the main ski slopes.

Our tip: With little ones, plan one lovely experience a day rather than trying to squeeze in five different activities. A short outing, a leisurely break and some quality time back at the apartment – sometimes that's all you need for the perfect holiday.

3. Nauders with Children Aged 3–6: Little Explorers, Big Adventures

At this age, every holiday day is an adventure.

Standing on skis for the very first time. Building a snowman. Running around a playground. Or proudly telling everyone about something new they've learnt.

In winter, little ones can take their first steps on skis in Nauders. The Interski ski school is just around 130 metres from Arabella – especially handy when you're heading out with children and all their ski equipment.

Of course, whether your child is ready for ski lessons depends on their age, confidence and enthusiasm.

And if nobody feels like skiing today?

Then it's time to play in the snow or head out on a lovely little family adventure instead.

In summer, the Gurdanatsch playground is a great place for young explorers. The children can run, play and simply be children, while the grown-ups enjoy a little time to unwind.

And afterwards, your cosy home away from home at Arabella will be waiting.

4. Family Holidays with School-Age Children in Nauders: A New Adventure Every Day

Once the children are a little older, holidays can be filled with even more adventure.

In winter, the Nauders am Reschenpass ski resort offers a wonderful variety of slopes. Exploring the mountains together, mastering longer runs and stopping for a well-earned break at a cosy mountain hut – these are the holiday moments you'll be talking about for years to come.

And for Arabella guests, getting started couldn't be easier: the ski bus stop is just 30 metres from our doorstep.

In summer, Nauders transforms into one big outdoor adventure playground.

Hiking, cycling, exploring nature or taking a trip to the Mösle natural swimming pond – there's always something lovely to discover.

Depending on the season, the children's programme associated with the Summercard offers even more opportunities for fun and adventure.

And the best part?

At the end of the day, everyone comes together again, shares their favourite moments and starts dreaming about tomorrow's adventures.

5. Nauders with Teenagers: A Little Adventure, a Little Freedom

A family holiday with teenagers? It can be absolutely wonderful.

Especially when everyone has the freedom to do their own thing now and then.

In summer, sporty teenagers can explore the region's exciting mountain bike trails. In winter, days on the slopes offer plenty of action and fresh mountain air.

And sometimes, teenagers just want a little time to themselves.

We get it.

That's why it's so lovely when everyone has a bit of breathing space on holiday.

Our larger apartments accommodate up to six guests, with room for cosy evenings together and a quiet corner to retreat to with headphones, a phone or a favourite book.

Because going on holiday together doesn't mean having to spend every single minute doing the same thing.

6. Why Arabella Is a Lovely Choice for Family Holidays in Nauders

What really makes a place family-friendly?

For us, it's not just about the big things. Often, it's those little everyday freedoms that make all the difference.

Your Own Apartment. Your Own Family Rhythm.

Our 29 individually designed apartments offer between 42 and 65 m² of living space, depending on the category, and accommodate two to six guests.

Enjoy breakfast together, cook something delicious, play games, share a laugh or simply spend a cosy afternoon relaxing.

And if the children are ready for bed early, that doesn't mean everyone else's evening has to end, too.

No rigid schedules. No pressure.

Just a holiday that fits your family.

Food That Fits Around You

When you're travelling with children, a little flexibility at mealtimes makes all the difference.

With your personal ArabellaPAD, you can easily order fresh bread and pastries for the following morning. There's also our breakfast counter with regional specialities, along with other delicious dining options to enjoy whenever you fancy.

For a cosy evening in, just ask us about our dinner delivery options.

That way, there's no need to head out to a restaurant with tired little ones every evening – unless, of course, you feel like it!

Wellness for the Family – and a Little Time for Yourselves

After a day full of mountain adventures, a little relaxation feels especially good.

Our spacious 1,200 m² WOLKE 78 wellness world features an indoor pool, an outdoor whirlpool and our Sky Sauna with beautiful views of the Tyrolean mountains.

Whether it's time together in the water or a relaxing sauna session for the grown-ups, there's always room to slow down.

We'll be happy to explain which spa areas and times are suitable for children.

Everything Just a Little Closer

When you're travelling with children, every short walk is a little holiday bonus.

Good to know: The ski bus stop is just 30 metres from Arabella, Interski ski school is around 130 metres away, the supermarket is approximately 110 metres away, and the village centre is just 150 metres from our doorstep. At Arabella, you'll find 29 apartments ranging from 42 to 65 m² for two to six guests, plus our 1,200 m² WOLKE 78 wellness world.

Less time getting from place to place means more time for what really matters: making lovely memories together.

7. Family Holidays in Nauders: And What About Mum and Dad?

Between ski boots, favourite cuddly toys, hiking rucksacks and children's laughter, Mum and Dad deserve a little time to unwind, too.

Perhaps with a leisurely coffee in the morning.

Maybe with a good book while the children have a rest.

Or with a few wonderfully relaxing hours in our wellness world.

That's one of the reasons we love our apartment concept so much: you're together, but everyone still has a little space of their own.

You can spend the day exploring and then simply come home to Arabella.

No need to head out again.

No complicated dinner plans.

And no feeling that you have to fill every moment of your holiday with activities.

A little tip from the Moritz family: Leave some room for spontaneity when planning your holiday. Perhaps that big day out turns into a short walk instead. Maybe everyone would rather head straight back to the apartment after skiing. Some of the loveliest family memories happen when nobody's watching the clock.

8. How Much Does a Family Holiday in Nauders Cost?

The cost of a family holiday in Nauders depends mainly on when you visit, which apartment you choose and what activities you'd like to enjoy.

In winter, you may need to budget for ski passes, lessons and equipment hire in addition to your accommodation. In summer, your holiday budget will depend on the excursions and mountain lifts you choose to use.

One of the lovely things about staying in an apartment is that you can prepare your own meals and decide when you'd like to eat out or treat yourselves to something special.
