Vorderstoder

Vorderstoder is situated only a few kilometres away from the Ski-World-Cup-Village Hinterstoder and is one of Upper Austria’s highest mountain villages.

The picture book like landscape surrounded by all the prominent mountain peaks of the Tote Gebirge mountain range – Spitzmauer, Great and Small Priel – is a popular destination for holidaymakers. Since 2006 there is a health project aiming at removing negative force fields to enhance the energies in the area.

Children friendly facilities in and around the house, lantern hikes, tractor rides, mystical fables, fairy tales and much more – truly a place for children….
