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.

In the heart of the Styrian Teichalm at an altitude of1237 m , the multi-award-winning Almwellness Hotel Pierer awaits you - a unique wellness hotel in Austria that combines the power of nature, soothing relaxation and modern health concepts to create a holistic experience. Just 1.5 hours from Vienna, it is a place where relaxation, regeneration and mindfulness become tangible.

The A.L.M. method: Authentic - Local - Mindful
The focus is on the specially developed A.L.M. method, which combines the natural power of alpine pastures with mindfulness and prevention .
It is based on four pillars of well-being:

• Regenerating treatments with alpine herbs
• Conscious nutrition from the Alminarium natural kitchen
• Restful sleep in exclusive rooms & suites
• Activating exercise in an untouched mountain landscape

This philosophy makes a stay at the wellness hotel a sustainable, holistic experience that lasts far beyond your vacation.

A.L.M. Refugium - 5,000 m² of alpine spa for pure relaxation
The 5,000 m² A.L.M.-Refugium is the heart of the hotel - a luxurious Almspa with water world, sauna area and relaxation oases.
Highlights:

• Indoor panorama pool with cozy lounger niches
• Infinity pool & whirlpools with alpine views
• Heated natural swimming pond (May - October) with alpine beach
• Nine saunas, including organic alpine herbal sauna, aroma steam bath & tunnel sauna
• Ice shower with Kneipp path, rain shower with a view of nature, infrared cabin

Relaxation oases invite you to bathe in the forest and meditate.

Treatments & alpine rituals
At Wellnesshotel Pierer , treatments become a holistic experience.
Customized massages, beauty & apparatus-based cosmetic treatmentswith alpine herb oils and certified natural products ensure lasting regeneration. An exclusive alpine ritual accompanies every treatment - with freshly squeezed fruit juice, fragrant compresses and a final alpine herbal tea. An experience that touches body, mind and soul in equal measure.

The traditional building from 1446 has been 90 percent renovated in recent years - the popular historic corners of the Parkhotel Adler, such as the parlor in the "Adler Stuben" restaurant, have been preserved. Countless locations on the 70,000 square meter estate with a small lake invite you to linger in comfort. These include the stylish hotel lobby with integrated bar and conservatory, the sunny restaurant terrace and the benches in the park with woodland and duck pond.

The park of the boutique resort hotel proves to be a rare refuge. It also forms the green backdrop for the modern glass construction of the wellness pavilion and the outdoor pool area with lounge and sunbathing lawn. Relax in the bright indoor and outdoor lounging areas of the wellness area or in the hip outdoor lounge with a cocktail. Both pools offer views of nature and are heated all year round. Whirlpools complete the facilities. A visit to the earth-fire sauna or the new steam bath is an atmospheric experience.

The rooms for massages and facial and body treatments have a fresh design. The PureWellness area is managed by experienced make-up artist, beautician and hairdresser Christine Homburger. A trained spa team carries out the treatments. The youngest guests can be pampered in the spa with special children's or teen treatments.

Choose one of the 64 accommodations in an elegant boutique hotel style - all recently renovated. No two accommodation units in the hotel are the same - some have a balcony or terrace with a view of the greenery. The accommodation is located in different parts of the Black Forest House dating from 1639 or in the Belle Époque main building from the 19th century.

In the five individually designed rooms of the "Adler Stuben" restaurant in the Schwarzwaldhaus, Baden specialties and international seasonal dishes are served - in the very own interpretation of kitchen director and spice sommelier Bernhard König, who comes from the region and is committed to the Slow Food® philosophy. The hotel therefore also supports this initiative.

The room prices for adults include the gourmet board with extensive culinary services in the morning, at lunchtime, at tea time in the afternoon and in the evening, as well as many extras such as toboggan and mountain bike rental and the green fee for the 18-hole golf course next door.
With family rooms and suites, the Adlernest children's play area, the playground in the park and details such as the creative children's menu, the Parkhotel Adler emphasizes that we are a family-friendly wellness hotel. Your children are sure to love the opportunities to play table tennis, boccia, volleyball or badminton in the hotel park.

Even more leisure fun: Nordic walking, mountain biking, hiking and cross-country skiing routes start from the hotel. And the nearby Feldberg is one of the most famous hiking and winter sports areas in Germany. In the Southern Black Forest Nature Park, you can also go on excursions to discover nature adventures, art and culture!

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!

Before, after, instead or in between - you can mix everything with everything for a relaxing break.

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.

This is a place where regionality is not just a promise, but a feeling - warm, honest and something to lean on. As soon as you enter, the gentle sounds of nature seem to linger on, enveloping the house in a gentle magic.
