We took another trip to the Austrian Alps, but we went skiing among many other fun, family activities this time. We stayed at a Kinderhotel for a second time and loved every minute of our winter vacation.

Kinderhotel at Achensee, Tyrollean Alps

As parents, vacations aren’t really that relaxing. We still have to plan and prepare meals and take care of the children. But when you go to a Kinderhotel or Familenhotel here in Europe, there’s no cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, or meal planning! And, you can also have child care. It’s a vacation for both the kids and the adults!

We got to try out our second Kinderhotel, again in Austria, but this time, in Achensee, which is near Innsbruck. We really enjoyed going horseback riding, rock climbing, skiing, swimming, and doing some archery. We, adults, enjoyed the sauna, steam room, and massages.

Our Story

In February of 2021, we packed up our American family of six, with four kids ages 11 and under, and moved halfway across the world to Germany to follow our dream of living in Europe again! When we were first married, we lived for two years in France and fell in love with the European way of life. Moving to Germany has been a whirlwind, especially with four kids in tow, but we’re already growing stronger and better from the experiences we are having. It has NOT been easy, but that’s how it usually is in life when you go after your dreams!
