AVIVA is totally different. Eat together at large, sociable tables, get involved in a comprehensive daily programme of activities and entertainments with other guests, take part in more than 100 themed sports days (such as yoga, hiking, mountain biking, marathon training, etc.) and many events (beach party, white night, Oktoberfest, wine festival, etc.). There are guaranteed to be no couples and children at AVIVA, so you can simply chat, make friends, dance, party and relax - or simply have some time to yourself.  AVIVA is a relaxed, informal club holiday at 1,000 metres above sea level that retains superior four star standards, offering a 2,000-plus m2 spa with captivating views of the Alps, where you can dine in company, party in the hotel’s disco and field, brew beer in the Brau Boutique, relax in traditional comfort in the hotel’s mountain meadow, chill out in the magical location, pamper yourself with massage and beauty treatments, or simply enjoy some “me” time.

Away from everyday life, at an altitude of 1,700 m on the Arlberg's energy plateau, you will experience complete freedom in Oberlech am Arlberg. Dramatic panoramic views, car-free in winter, in the middle of nature, surrounded by loving vacation companions that you can take advantage of as you please. Ski-in & ski-out in winter and walk-in & walk-out in summer. True to the motto "More space, more time", we offer everything your body, mind and soul need for Holistic Selfcare & Longevity.

HOLISTIC SELFCARE: THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY CONCEPT IN THE ALPS.
Our concept aims to promote holistic wellbeing and longevity - the term used to describe healthy ageing. To this end, we offer conscious time-outs with various retreats, yoga sessions and unique experiences that touch you on a physical, mental and spiritual level.

ME TIME:
Take time for your personal ME time and experience yoga at special places of power or authentic alpine bathing and hikes along the path of being. The energy medicine treatments and great teachings are led by experienced coaches and trainers. You can enjoy BEING in the natural living room of the Goldener Berg.

SPA TIME:
Our Alpine Spa, renovated in 2024, will not only impress you with vigorous swims in the 23-metre-long outdoor infinity pool with whirlpool function. You also have the choice between three large saunas, some with wonderful views of the mountains. There is also a mountain cave pool terrace and indoor pool, also with a magnificent view of the Omeshorn, the local mountain. The extended relaxation rooms also look in this direction and the Swiss stone pine room in particular increases the level of relaxation thanks to the delicate scent of this wood. The fitness room and adjoining yoga and meditation room offer space for conscious movement.

TIME TO ENJOY:
Plant-based alpine cuisine with delicious vitamin bombs, detoxing with vegan-vegetarian, alkaline and ketogenic menus, through to dishes that are familiar to us: Grandma's recipes, traditionally prepared the way we've always loved them. Whichever culinary option you choose, you are sure to find a fine wine from one of Austria's largest wine cellars to accompany it. Everything is possible - nothing is a must. In winter, you can choose from 4 restaurants (1 of them with 3 toques from Gault Millau) and 2 sun terraces as part of our Dine Around half board.

BERGZEIT:
Summer & fall:
Blooming wildflower meadows and the view of the mountain peaks let you forget everyday life at the Hotel Goldener Berg. Around 350 km of marked hiking trails as well as bike routes and climbing tours are waiting to be discovered. The Lech Golf Club has an 18-hole and a 9-hole course. A vacation at the Hotel Goldener Berg is also ideal for families, as numerous activities for young and old await you in the surrounding area. As a guest at the Goldener Berg, you can book the Lech Card from 2 days: enjoy special benefits such as free use of all cable cars, guided themed hikes, use of the local bus and much more.

Winter:
Free from the crowds, get on your skis right outside the hotel and off you go: over 300 kilometers of pistes and 200 off-piste kilometers await you in Austria's largest ski area. But even without skis, you are in good hands on the Goldener Berg: Directly from the hotel, there are many kilometers of wonderful hiking trails, cross-country ski trails or Nordic walking as well as jogging trails, which are perfectly groomed every day. All of these sports in beautiful natural surroundings are easy to learn and bring joy to the heart. The snow-covered mountain panorama around the Hotel Goldener Berg is also a perfect backdrop for mediation, alpine bathing, heart and tidal walks.

It's time to surrender to the good, conscious life - to give your body something that is of uncanny importance.

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!

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.
