Feel-good time for couples at Hotel Sonngastein
Time for two
Outside the school holidays, Sonngastein shows its quieter, more relaxed side. An atmosphere that couples have valued for years for time away together. Enjoy your holiday for two with all-inclusive soft drinks, gourmet half board and the full resort experience: award-winning cuisine, a spacious wellness world, stylish places to unwind and varied activities all year round.
Sport & nature for couples
Active together in the Gastein Valley
Take the first lift together before the valley wakes. Hike to an alpine hut, spend hours breathing in mountain air and listening to birdsong. Play a round of tennis, head out on an e-bike tour or enjoy an afternoon on the golf course. Around the Gastein Valley, there are countless ways to enjoy an active weekend for couples or a longer couples holiday in Austria. In summer, hiking, cycling, tennis and golf await – with reduced green fees available directly through the hotel. In winter, five ski areas are close by, while snowshoe walks and curling on the hotel’s own lane offer slower-paced ways to enjoy the sparkling snow.
