TODAY AS THEN: The famous Sonnbühel ski lodge (left) is a true legend. The historic mountain inn, which has been welcoming guests for nearly 100 years, is not only the best-known ski hut in the Kitzbühel Alps; it is probably the oldest in the world. SNOWY IDYLL: The famous painter and architect Alfons Walde was so taken with the small community of Aurach near Kitzbühel (below right) that he immortalised the village church on canvas. EXCLUSIVE: Endless slopes, alpine charm and elegant fashion await visitors to hotels like the Hotel Kitzhof (centre right, bottom left). Kitzbühel’s Simone Becke (centre) creates great pieces for every occasion.

While she makes sure her students work up a sweat in her fast-paced classes, the smart influencer also enjoys taking breaks from her work to relax. What do you look for in a winter trip destination? The place should be easy to get to, possibly even without a car. But I also like hotels located in unusual places, far away from other hotels, especially if they offer great views of nature. When you want to switch off, what matters to you when choosing a hotel? As I don’t yet have children, I prefer adults-only hotels. I also want somewhere with a gym, a sauna and a welcoming atmosphere. An outdoor pool is always good, of course. Apart from teaching yoga, you also have your own online platform – the Poschstyle Studio. Do you also practice yoga during your winter holiday? Of course! My motto “#noexcuses” always applies. Whether at the gym or in a hotel room, 30 minutes is always possible. What do you usually do at the spa? I’ve become a big sauna fan and like to treat myself to a massage or facial. Do you prefer travelling alone or in company in the winter? Although I enjoy travelling on my own, I usually travel with friends or family. A woman of many talents: With her fashion sense and sheer willpower, Viennese influencer Anna Posch has come a long way. 64 falstaff winter 2022/23
