Ferienhaus Ruhpolding is a family holiday home at the foot of the Westernberg in Ruhpolding, in the Chiemgau region of the Bavarian Alps, west of the village centre. The Westernberg ski lift with nursery slope and ski school is right behind the house, and on the terrace a private hot tub (whirlpool) is heated all year round. There is room for up to 6 guests in 3 bedrooms, and dogs stay free of charge.
The house is one of three holiday homes by einfach mal durchatmen. We, Jochen & family, furnished it from scratch with families with babies and toddlers especially in mind. During your stay we are there for you by phone, text message or WhatsApp, in German or English.

Private hot tub on the terrace
The hot tub sits on your own terrace, partly covered by the balcony above and screened from the street. It is heated all year, you set the temperature yourselves, and it costs nothing extra. It fits 2 to 3 people. A combination lock makes it child-safe, and quiet hours are from 9:30 pm to 7 am. Jochen checks the water quality himself before every arrival.
The house has no sauna. If you would like one, the Vita Alpina leisure pool is approx. 20 min on foot.
Ski holidays with children: the lift right behind the house
The Westernberg lift with nursery slope, children’s ski area and a ski school with rental is right behind the house, the slope just a few steps around the corner. One guest wrote: “The kids could walk to the ski lift on their own and come home whenever they wanted.” Depending on snow, the lift runs roughly from December to March, with floodlit skiing on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Skis stay on the terrace, and ski boots go on the racks by the entrance. There is no boot dryer. The larger Winklmoosalm/Steinplatte ski area is approx. 18 min by car. Cross-country skiers walk to the practice trail in the village centre, and Ruhpolding has around 155 km of cross-country trails in total.
