Awarded the 7th best wellness hotel in Austria by Holiday-Check, we are the vacation resort in the middle of nature - a place for warm encounters, mindfulness, safety and sustainability.
The Schäfer family
Genuine hospitality? That's what we stand for with our name! Admittedly, we may have stolen this phrase, but we live it with all our hearts. One of the Schäfers is always there, so that all guests are personally welcomed, looked after and bid farewell at the end. And that's a good feeling!
BergSpa
You may have noticed that we are a little different. Where others are loud, we are very quiet. Relaxation rooms where you can find real peace. Your heart expands and your thoughts wander. Characterized by openness and generosity, our spa area extends over two floors with a total of 1,600m². Diverse, cozy retreat areas, natural colors, lots of light and fantastic views of the Walser mountain peaks.
With our specially developed BergSpa fascia method - a combination of fascia treatments, healing herbs and expert hands - we show an effective way to a new body awareness.

All members of our family are certified hiking guides. We know the Great Walser Valley with all its paths, mountains, streams, waterfalls and special features. With the Schäfer family's hiking guides, you'll be able to walk over hill and dale! Whether it's a summit or circular hike, a herb hike or one of the special themed trails in the Grosses Walsertal.

Explore the most beautiful places in the valley with us by e-bike, on foot or with snowshoes, off the beaten tourist track.
Sustainability
The sensible and efficient use of resources and raw materials is our daily bread. Many small details, sensibly and sustainably solved, add up to the sum of our ecological footprint - and it is precisely this that is particularly important to us. Sometimes it's just little things, sometimes an investment is necessary, but it's worth it. ALWAYS!

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.

Heartily. Small. Especially. Simply live well. ”Under this motto, Hiltrud Gufler and Patrick Mair and their team at the Hotel Golserhof create unforgettable vacation days. The smallest four-star superior hotel in Tirolo guarantees a wonderful view of the Meraner Land and a cozy, modern ambience. The roof terrace is particularly attractive with its private two-person whirlpools, four-poster beds and cuddly nests. We cook with fresh and good things that grow around them. A very special experience is "Forest Medicine" - immerse yourself in nature while bathing in the forest.

The Brandl family and the ULRICHSHOF team

ULRICHSHOF is quietly located on the edge of the forest on a 64,000 m² hotel area in Zettisch in the nature paradise Bavarian Forest.

Bad Kötzting is 10 km away. The nearest train station is in Furth im Wald, 10 km away.

The Bavarian Forest is known as Europe’s most beautiful low mountain landscape, remarkable natural park in Germany and impressive magic forest in Bavaria. When speaking of the forest itself, it is usually meant the breathtaking cultural landscape in the east of Bavaria on the border to Bohemia. Endless hiking trails in untouched nature and a wide range of leisure and cultural activities in every season have made the Bavarian Forest one of the famous family holiday regions in Germany.

The winter in the Bavarian Forest is like a wonderland of forest and snow. Next to you a snow-covered tree top, above you the bright blue sky and in front of you nothing but limitless snow fun - this is winter holidays in the Bavarian Forest. Whether on the sledge hill behind the Spiel-KISTE or in one of the three nearby ski areas Hohenbogen, Eck-Riedelstein or ArberLand at Großer Arber, fun with the whole family is guaranteed. In the ski areas, perfectly groomed slopes and cosy places to stop await visitors.

Those who want to take it easy can experience pure wellness while strolling through the area. The fresh, clean air and refreshing nature give strength and new vital energy. A wellness or family holiday in the Bavarian Forest is therefore for many an absolute insider tip.

Only 5 minutes by car from the gates of Dinkelsbühl ("Germany's most beautiful old town", according to FOCUS) and 25 minutes from Rothenburg o.d.T.
Hospitality and ingenuity have been part of the philosophy at Meiser for 6 generations since 1880. You can expect a domicile of relaxation and recreation as well as a place of encounter and inspiration. Enjoy a sophisticated ambience and a unique, warm atmosphere to feel good. Look forward to spacious and luxuriously equipped hotel rooms and suites that offer you a cozy and pleasant home on the most beautiful days of the year. The friendly service and kitchen team will spoil you with excellent regional and international specialties.

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!

Feel good
Still waters and cozy warmth. Deep-rooted naturalness and airy lightness. From inside to outside. From above to below. From sweet idleness to conscious being. In our Crystal and GardenSPA on over 1,200 m², the opposites merge so naturally that you will realize with a satisfied smile how wonderfully enriching it can be to always find a new favourite place for yourself. Before, after, instead or in between - you can mix everything with everything for a relaxing break.

Out and about
Are you a true child of nature and just as drawn to the outdoors as we are? Wonderful, because as a member of the best hiking hotels in the Alps, our main aim is to find strength and inspiration in nature all year round.
On at least 5 guided hikes, we, hiking guide Monika and boss Hans-Peter Gassner, would like to introduce you to the diversity of nature in the surrounding mountains, hike with you through blooming alpine pastures and climb over perpetual ice to the region's panoramic peaks.

We would like to accompany you on snowshoe and winter hikes to the idyllic snow-covered places of the Hohe Tauern National Park and show you personally how renewing it can be to walk at eye level with nature.

Gassner tree house
Wonderfully close to nature and also a little off the beaten track. 147 m² all to yourselves. A retreat for newlyweds, longtime lovers and the whole family. We believe that when it comes to togetherness, you need a particularly cozy place on this earth and so our dream of an extraordinary vacation nest is yours.

There are many beautiful houses. But the most important thing is the people who live in them, laugh together and do their best together. So feel free to speak from the heart and meet us at eye level.
