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.

The 5-star sports and pleasure hotel Silvretta in the heart of Ischgl has been run by the Zangerl family since it was established in 1930 and has retained its family atmosphere to this day.

In winter as well as in summer, guests experience warm attention and genuine Tyrolean hospitality. With the "sports and enjoyment" concept, every guest has the opportunity to choose their own focus for the holiday.

The rooms and suites of the hotel convince with a traditional and noble alpine design.

Another highlight of the hotel is the Vital.Spa Silvretta.Mondin. In our VITAL.SPA you will find the perfect balance to your sporting activities in nature. The 1200m² wellness and spa area extends over three levels and has two pools, various saunas, steam baths, a Sinnema and numerous beauty and body treatments. Only products from selected brands with natural ingredients are used. For all sports enthusiasts there is also a fitness area and in summer the free Silvretta activity program is available.

Due to the culinary diversity in the different restaurants, the guests can let themselves be pampered, leaving nothing to be desired. From traditional Tyrolean cuisine in the WIARTSHAUS or KITZLOCH restaurant to pizzas and Italian delicacies in the BÄRAFALLA restaurant or a delicious menu in the ALPIN half-board restaurant. Whether traditional, rustic or exclusive, there is something for every taste. Products from the in-house farm "Maashof" and from our own "Larein Alpe" are used in all restaurants. The guests are guaranteed the best Tyrolean quality. The hotel also has two après-ski bars: the KUHSTALL and the Kitzloch.
