Time for parents
While your children are well cared for, it’s finally time for you. Perhaps a relaxing morning in the warm thermal water of our pools, a soothing massage or a sauna session – or simply doing nothing and unwinding in the relaxation area. In the evening, enjoy international sports on a large screen in our relax lounge, with drinks service included.
Activities in the region
Out into the adventure
The Gastein Valley is a true natural paradise. Beyond the hotel, families can explore guided hikes in the Hohe Tauern National Park, cycling tours, or visits to the thermal spas. With countless options nearby, it’s perfect for an active family holiday in Austria full of variety and outdoor experiences.
Quality time for couples
Time for two
While the children are well looked after and teens enjoy their own programme, there’s space for what often gets lost in everyday life: real time together. A relaxed game of tennis, an excursion in the Gastein Valley, a couples’ massage in the spa or simply a coffee on the terrace with mountain views – these moments are all yours.
