Do you love good food, good wine and the beautiful little country of South Tyrol?
Then Das Dorner is the perfect destination for you: Cuisine, wellness, exercise and lots of unforgettable moments of joy … just a bit of everything, because you shouldn’t need to limit yourself.

It is a place of tranquillity for a time-out without haste. A hideaway. Simply switch off, let the hustle and bustle of the world pass you by and listen to the whispering of the trees - nowhere does this better than here. You can choose between the historic villa and coach house or the newly built private spa suites with absolute privacy and personal wellness.

High-quality cuisine awaits you in the 20zwanzig restaurant, while the sauna and fitness facilities invite you to relax. While the medieval half-timbered streets of Stolberg nestle along the bed of the Thyra and the narrow Lude rivers in the valley below, the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk is enthroned high up on the Thyrahöhe and offers you a beautiful view, and not just from the large sun terrace.

With seven new Private Spa Suites in the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk, you can enjoy exclusive moments of peace and quiet - all to yourself. Each individual Private Spa Suite in the Harz Mountains is two-storey and has a living space of around 100 m² with absolute privacy.
The spa suites are also furnished with selected works of art from the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory. Sustainability is very important to us, which is why our private spa suites are made entirely of wood from local Harz spruce. In our suites in the Harz Mountains, you can expect plenty of space, a high-quality interior and everything your wellness heart desires.

You can indulge in complete relaxation on two floors. The spacious living area, a shower room and a loggia with a fantastic view of the forest are located on the lower floor. A staircase takes you to the heart of the spa suites: In addition to a bedroom with a balcony, here you will also find the exclusive vitality area with a designer bathtub, a steam and infrared sauna with colored light play, a Finnish sauna and rain shower - it could hardly be more beautiful. In addition to the vitality area, the absolute highlight awaits you in the upper area: a secluded loggia with a cozy corner, an exclusively designed whirlpool for up to two people and a wonderful view of the forest - alone or as a couple.

The direct location of our hotel by the lake is ideal for walks and outdoor sporting activities, and our grounds are also directly adjacent to the 18-hole course of the Schloss Haag golf club. The city of Geldern is located in North Rhine-Westphalia in the immediate vicinity of the Dutch border. Excursions to the neighboring country are therefore spontaneously possible - also by bike, because the Lower Rhine is considered a paradise for cyclists.

In the See Park Terrassen restaurant, special emphasis is placed on freshness and top quality. Regional specialties and vitality cuisine form the focus of the seasonally changing menu.

The hotel's special lakeside location offers the perfect ambience to find inner balance and leave everyday life behind. All hotel areas offer an unobstructed view of the Lower Rhine landscape. This includes the exclusive spa area, which covers over 8,000 square meters. In addition to the unique sauna world with 7 saunas and relaxation areas, guests have access to a heated outdoor pool and the panoramic pool with a view of the lake and the golf course. Holistic beauty programs, various relaxation rituals, classic and wellness massages as well as beauty treatments for face and body make the See Park SPA an oasis of sensual experiences. The private SPA suite is available to guests for an individual SPA experience. The wellness offer is rounded off by the high-quality fitness area - also with a unique panoramic view. Professionally trained fitness instructors are happy to support guests with their individual training program and offer daily courses such as Pilates, aerobics and back training.

The 24 panorama rooms offer absolute tranquillity and a wonderful view of the lake. Comfort is the top priority in the elegant furnishings. Noble materials and warm colors create a cozy atmosphere, floor-to-ceiling windows open up a wide view over the lake into the greenery.

High above the Gastein Valley, on a sunny plateau, lies DAS.GOLDBERG – a 5-star nature, design, and wellness hotel offering space for peace, relaxation, and indulgence. From here, the view stretches across the valley to the peaks of Hohe Tauern National Park. A truly special place that makes you feel freedom.

At the 1,500-square-meter Spa Nature’s Nest, design meets nature. The 22-meter infinity pool with panoramic views, the GOLD.STOLLEN – a tepidarium made of natural stone – as well as saunas and relaxation areas create the perfect setting for unwinding. In summer, the natural swimming pond with sandy beach and Beach.Bar brings alpine beach vibes. In winter, the Fire Bar directly on the ski slope invites guests to grill, chill, and enjoy laid-back sounds.
Forest. Meadow. Precious. – these three words represent the philosophy of the Seer family and their team. They shape the design, the cuisine, and the overall experience at the hotel. Sustainability, regionality, and mindful use of natural resources are lived values – from handpicked materials in the interior to products from local artisans.

In GOLDBERG’s culinary world, regionality takes center stage. The kitchen team works with fresh ingredients from local producers, bakes bread daily, smokes their own bacon, and serves creative dishes inspired by forest and meadow. Complemented by house-roasted coffee, fine wines, and honest enjoyment in a relaxed atmosphere.

In summer, the Gastein Valley offers 350 kilometers of hiking trails, mountain lakes, and breathtaking summit tours. Guided hikes, yoga sessions with panoramic views, and green fees at the 18-hole Golf Club Gastein make every stay varied and memorable. In winter, skiers can start directly from the hotel into the Schlossalm-Angertal-Stubnerkogel ski area – ski-in, ski-out included.

The architecture is clear, modern, and in harmony with nature. Wood, stone, glass, clay, and warm colors create a harmonious atmosphere. The studios and suites impress with spaciousness, abundant light, natural materials, and breathtaking mountain views. Freestanding bathtubs, open fireplaces, or private spa areas offer comfort and privacy at the highest level.

Living & vacationing in harmony with nature
The Große Walsertal Biosphere Reserve is located in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg and extends in the middle of Vorarlberg in an easterly to north-easterly direction towards the mountainous center of the province. In 2000, the Große Walsertal was designated a model region by UNESCO as a "biosphere park" due to its particularly outstanding and diverse nature. Green grass mountains next to rugged limestone peaks - this is how diverse and varied the mountain world presents itself. Active relaxation, cultivated cultural landscapes and untouched areas.

Griaß di
Even Aunt Lisl knew that in addition to mountains and well-fluffed pillows, you also need a good meal, a cozy place to relax, an open heart and good food for a really good gut feeling. That was over 70 years ago.
Since then, we as a family have gone many new ways to preserve this special feeling of home and to reinterpret vacation for you. Our wellness and hiking hotel Gassner **** superior has grown out of the small forest guesthouse - and the pretty Gassner tree house too.

As a genuine family business, we are the perfect complement, because we could hardly be more different. Together with our wonderful Gassner Seilschaft, we bring a lot of warmth, charm and life into the hotel. That's probably why so much of our work is so individual and varied.
Come and join us and be surprised by the wonderful way in which our contrasts attract you. Mia gfrein ins auf di!
