The centerpiece: our wellness area 20 Stories Sauna & Spa
Here you will find a place of pure relaxation, where body and soul come to rest at the same time. Our sauna area invites you to enjoy everything from gentle warmth to deeply relaxing infusions, while refreshing tropical showers, Rasul baths and soothing wellness treatments turn every moment into a little luxury.

In the heated outdoor pool , you glide between the sky and the water, feeling the vastness, the freedom and the light feeling of simply letting go. The proximity to the Baltic Sea, the fresh breeze and the sound of the waves give you a feeling of boundless lightness - and suddenly everything else is far away.

Arrive. Enjoy. Wanting to stay.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you are surrounded by warm light, fine materials and that deep "This is the right place for me." Take a seat in our bar or indulge yourself in the SunDown Restaurant : Breakfast in the morning light, coffee and cake in the afternoon or dinner at sunset. And best of all: we always serve you the view from the panoramic window.

Here, tranquillity, nature and luxury merge into unforgettable moments. Every view of the sea, every sunrise, every relaxing hour in the sauna reminds you that a vacation is more than just a time-out - it's an arrival at yourself. SlowDown Bottsand | Hotel & Spa: Your place for relaxation, enjoyment and real moments by the sea.

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.

Several hiking routes in the nature park Texelgruppe are available right at our doorstep.
With hiking routes of altitudes between 300 and 3.000 meters, Algund offers something to mountain pros as well as hobby hikers.
Many relaxation areas for couples and families can be found at Das Dorner.  The infinity pool on the roof terrace (adults only), the outdoor pool in the palm garden and the indoor pool provide the necessary refreshment. 
 In the Sky Spa’s panoramic sauna, you will be heated up.  Sauna infusions are offered daily.
