Der Reschenhof

Der Reschenhof is a four-star hotel in Mils, near Hall in Tirol and Innsbruck, run by the Oberhofer family for four generations. What began as a village guesthouse has grown into a hotel with spacious rooms, several dining options and a wellness area, while keeping its personal, family-run character. Its Inn Valley location suits holidays spent exploring mountain trails, historic towns and the flavors of Tyrol.

About the hotel

Breakfast brings a taste of the region to the table, with farmhouse bread, dairy products and free-range eggs from the neighboring Weberhof farm. Homemade jams and apple juice from the hotel’s own orchard sit alongside pastries, muesli and egg dishes—a generous start before heading out for the day.

The restaurant serves traditional Tyrolean and Austrian dishes, seasonal specialties and vegetarian options in welcoming country-style dining rooms. For a change, Pizzeria Locanda offers pizza and pasta in an Italian setting. The sunny garden and terrace provide space to linger outdoors, while the hotel’s own Oberhofer distillery adds something a little different: tours and tastings offer an introduction to its fruit brandies and liqueurs.

After a day in the mountains, the 300 m² wellness area offers a Finnish sauna, a gentler bio sauna, an aroma steam bath with brine mist and an infrared cabin. There is also a relaxation area, a gym and a 25-meter outdoor sports pool in the garden for summer swims. Massages can be booked, and the Beauty Pavilion opposite the hotel offers beauty treatments and hairdressing services.

Free Wi-Fi, complimentary outdoor and underground parking, and electric-car charging for an additional fee make the practical side of a stay straightforward. Dogs are welcome for a supplement. Cyclists have access to secure bike storage, washing facilities, repair equipment and a clothing washing and drying service, while mountain e-bikes can be rented from the hotel.

Things to see and do

There is plenty of choice outdoors, whether your ideal day involves an easy valley walk or a longer mountain hike. The Karwendel offers alpine scenery and hut walks, while the Zirbenweg follows a panoramic route through Swiss pine woodland between the Patscherkofel and Glungezer areas. The walk between Hinterhornalm and Walderalm is another option for mountain views and a stop at an alpine hut. Reception can help with hiking maps and route suggestions. Cyclists can follow relatively level routes beside the River Inn or head toward Gnadenwald for a hillier outing. Mountain-bike and e-bike routes reach higher pastures and huts, offering plenty of scope to choose your own pace. In winter, the Glungezer provides skiing and snowboarding, while the surrounding region offers cross-country skiing, winter walks and tobogganing. 

In Hall in Tirol you can explore the narrow lanes, colorful townhouses and the cafés of the Oberer Stadtplatz. Hasegg Castle houses the Hall Mint museum, where the town’s coin-making history comes to life. Innsbruck offers the Golden Roof, Imperial Palace and museums, with the Nordkette mountains rising above the city. Swarovski Crystal Worlds in Wattens adds art installations and gardens to the sightseeing options. For another day out, Schwaz Silver Mine takes visitors underground to explore Tyrol’s mining past. Farther along the Inn Valley, the Museum of Tyrolean Farmhouses in Kramsach offers a different perspective on local history through traditional farm buildings and rural life.
