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.

Gently nestled between mountain peaks, it lies there, in perhaps the most beautiful valley in the world. Our Hotel Valavier is located in the Brandnertal – embraced by the Rätikon and guarded by the sky itself.

Immerse yourself in gentle water. Free yourself from everyday worries. Let yourself be carried by the element. Find lightness. Let yourself drift. The view of the sky. No matter whether in the year-round heated outdoor pool directly in the paradise garden. Splashing around with the children at the children's pool. Or indoors in the stylish sky bath, with a heavenly panoramic view over the Brandnertal. We love it when you show up with us to hide away.

Real warmth and real people: these are our inclusive services. Come in to Valavier!
