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.

Wellness meets nature: relaxing under palm canopies. Feel the fine sand, the wood of the sun deck under your feet ... and lots of soft grass. Mediterranean flora and a touch of Caribbean flair to immerse yourself in: The new 27 metre long, heated natural pool with its crystal clear water makes it possible! Then there is the new Spa Sensea on the 1st floor. With the best views of Lake Kaltern and its mountain and wine-growing hills, you can stretch out in the indoor and outdoor pool. Then work up a sweat with the legendary daily sauna infusions. Or sunbathe by the lake. The hotel offers two private lake access points. SUP paddle and pedalo hire included. After sport, relax your muscles with a variety of treatments in the award-winning Ninfea Spa.

Sport meets culture: yoga by the lake, herb hikes, winery tours. The weekly programme offers a wide range of activities for everyone. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the bike tours, yoga sessions or the extensive fitness programme in the well-equipped gym. The weekly hikes to the family's old farm and the wine tastings in the old stone cellar are a must-do. The “Törggelen” with roasted chestnuts and new wine is also famous.

Agriculture meets luxury: unique farm-to-table concept at SEELEITEN. It's not just that the award-winning gourmet cuisine at the SEELEITEN conjures up the freshest regional specialities on your plate. No, the luxury hotel also has its own farm with fruit, vegetable and wine growing, as well as its own wine cellar with excellent wines and an integrated craft brewery. The combination of upscale hotel business, agriculture, winery and brewery is unique in Europe and has culinary enthusiasts from all over the world in raptures. Weekly guided tours and tastings with the cellar master, vineyard tours with the senior chef and gala evenings in the gourmet restaurant offer deep insights into viticulture, beer production, agriculture and the art of South Tyrolean cuisine.

In the morning the sun rises over the peaks, in the evening the lights sparkle in the valley. In this absolute top location on a sun-drenched south-facing slope above Burgeis, every corner of DAS GERSTL Alpine Retreat opens up views that you will never forget, just like the warm, down-to-earth hospitality of the owner family Gerstl.

At 1,500 meters above sea level, guests can enjoy pleasant temperatures even in the warmer months, while relaxing in the open air on box seats by the 18-meter-long, year-round heated infinity pool, on cosy day beds or in the outdoor whirlpool in the sauna garden. Relax, read a good book, take a dip in one of the pools, let your gaze and thoughts wander - all of this is possible at Hotel Gerstl.

The exclusive suites also invite you to do nothing. The new 60 square meter pool suite with a private infinity pool and whirlpool, a large veranda and its own garden for undisturbed togetherness is certainly a special experience. The pleasant vacation feeling of lightness and light-heartedness spreads at the latest during a floating aperitif in the cool water.

If you do want to leave the retreat, there are hikes to nearby Switzerland, mountain bike trails, irrigation canals along historic irrigation channels or a visit to the smallest town in the Southern Alps: the medieval town of Glurns. The Gerstl team also offers daily guided excursions, from guided e-bike tours to joint forest bathing.

After a day full of activities and fresh mountain air, the evening ends with a delicious, multi-course meal. For all their innovative spirit, the Gerstl family relies on tried and tested dishes: the hotel's regionally oriented cuisine, which sources its products from the surrounding area to support the farmers in the valley and protect the environment with short transportation routes, is already a tradition. Once a week on r30 Day, all ingredients even come from within a radius of no more than thirty kilometers - this is when the creativity of head chef Michael Ziernheld and his team is particularly in demand. It is clear how much everyone is behind this concept. When the first elderflowers can be harvested in early summer, for example, fresh blossoms from many of the employees' gardens are brought to the hotel for processing. Fruit, herbs and berries are also grown locally by the GERSTL Unique team. If you would like to take a look behind the scenes of the Gerstl's gourmet workshop, you can do so at the weekly kitchen party. Here, culinary delights are celebrated in a special way and guests are invited to watch the chefs prepare dinner and collect the delicacies from the kitchen in person. If that's not enough, book an exclusive evening at Gerstl's Chef's Table in the middle of the action in the hotel kitchen.

The extent to which the family is rooted in the region is illustrated not only by the r30 philosophy in the food, but also by its continuation in other areas: Building materials are sourced locally wherever possible and are processed by local craftspeople, the cosmetic products are made from regional ingredients and even the staff almost all come from within a radius of just 30 kilometers.
