Here, right by the lake, surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery of the Steinernes Meer, the warm-hearted host family around Hannes and Martina Riedlsperger have created an exclusive place of indulgence - a place to relax, recharge your batteries and have a really good time.

The Spa am See is located between the two buildings that make up the Wellnesshotel Ritzenhof. The underground wellness oasis opens directly onto the shore of Lake Ritzensee with a private sunbathing lawn. There you can doze in one of the shell and floating loungers with the sound of the reeds in your ears. An indoor pool, Finnish sauna, textile sauna, steam bath, sanarium, infrared cabin and massages or beauty treatments tailored to your individual needs await you in the spa by the lake.

In winter, the cross-country ski trail runs right past the spa and provides access to the region's extensive network of trails. Some people also chase their childhood memories on ice skates on the frozen Ritzensee or simply warm themselves by the flickering fire.

The stylishly furnished rooms and suites are deliberately kept simple; nothing should distract from the essentials. Clear lines and materials replace the sensory overload to which we are exposed in everyday life. The reduction to the essentials helps you to switch off quickly and consciously move in the here and now.

The modern building, with generous spaces, features 21 sophisticated Suites and 174 spacious refined rooms to meet different needs and embody the highest level of comfort. The rooms’ oversized windows open onto a private balcony ranging from 10 to 60 sqm elegantly furnished  with comfortable sun loungers, dining table and cozy chairs, wide sofas and/or armchairs, or stylish hammock or hanging chair, or private whirlpool and fully glazed private sauna of our Loft Suites, to enjoy the magnificent sea view in complete privacy.

A combination of different flavors and ideas to surprise our Guests and to have fun also with theme dinners during the long summer nights.

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!
