    ===========
    We host in German because of our young kids. Basic German skills are required.
    ===========

    Hello! We are Thomas (33) and Lucia (32) with our three children Livia (6), Elian (4), and Simio (almost 2). We live in a large house with a big garden in Thiersee – a beautiful mountain village in Tyrol, ideally located between Munich, Innsbruck, and Salzburg (all three have airports).

    We live a healthy lifestyle, eat exclusively organic food, cook fresh and mostly vegetarian meals – preferably with vegetables from our own garden.

    What's important to us:

    Minimum stay of 2 weeks (anything shorter is too much work for us)

    A driver's license is required (your own car = maximum flexibility)
    Basic German skills – because of the children

    To let us know you've read this: Please write "great view" at the beginning of your message.

    Just send us a message – then we'll find out if it's a good fit.

    Best regards from Thiersee,

    Thomas, Lucia, Livia, Elian, and Simio

    Hallo! Wir sind Thomas (33) und Lucia (32) mit unseren drei Kindern Livia (6), Elian (4) und Simio (fast 2). Wir leben in einem großen Haus mit viel Garten in Thiersee – einem schönen Bergdorf in Tirol, ideal gelegen zwischen München, Innsbruck und Salzburg (alle drei mit Flughafen).
    Wir leben gesund, essen ausschließlich Bio, kochen frisch und meist vegetarisch – am liebsten mit Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten.
    Was uns wichtig ist:

    Mindestaufenthalt 2 Wochen (kürzer ist für uns zu aufwändig)
    Führerschein ist Voraussetzung (eigenes Auto = maximale Flexibilität)
    Grundkenntnisse Deutsch – wegen der Kinder
    Damit wir wissen, dass du das gelesen hast: Schreibe bitte „great view" an den Anfang deiner Nachricht.

    Schick uns einfach eine Nachricht – dann finden wir heraus, ob es passt.
    Liebe Grüße aus Thiersee,
    Thomas, Lucia, Livia, Elian und Simio

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Thiersee is the perfect starting point for exploring the mountains: hiking, mountain biking, climbing – right on your doorstep. Lake Thiersee is just a few minutes away, and there are other lakes nearby. The Wilder Kaiser and Zahmer Kaiser mountain ranges are ideal for multi-day hut-to-hut hikes.

    In summer, there are many traditional festivals with folk costumes and live music. Kufstein Fortress is close by, Innsbruck is a 40-minute train ride away, and Munich is about an hour away.

    In summer, we often take trips to lakes or go camping ourselves – you're welcome to join us.

    (In winter, skiing/snowboarding is also available right from the village limits – but we'll tell you more about that if you visit in winter.)

    ---

    Thiersee ist ein perfekter Ausgangspunkt für die Berge: Wandern, Mountainbiken, Klettern – direkt vor der Haustür. Der Thiersee ist in wenigen Minuten erreichbar, weitere Seen in der Umgebung. Das Wilde und Zahme Kaisergebirge lädt zu mehrtägigen Hüttentouren ein.

    Im Sommer gibt es viele traditionelle Feste mit Tracht und Live-Musik. Die Festung Kufstein ist nah, Innsbruck mit dem Zug 40 Minuten, München ca. eine Stunde entfernt.

    Wir machen im Sommer oft Ausflüge zu Seen oder gehen selbst campen – du bist herzlich eingeladen, mitzukommen.

    (Im Winter gibt es zusätzlich Skifahren/Snowboarden ab Dorfgrenze – aber dazu mehr, wenn du im Winter kommst.)
