This spa resort offers a retreat in the heart of nature and a prominent location on a small, wooded headland in the county of St. Wendel with views over Lake Bostalsee. Its closeness with the surrounding region and the creative mindset of hosts Kathrin and Christian Sersch are evident throughout the entire hotel. Guided by their motto “Real beauty. Beautifully real.” the hosts have created a hotel exuding ingenuity and attention to detail that will appeal to spa-goers, sports enthusiasts, connoisseurs and lovers of culture and nature.

Awaiting guests are 97 modern rooms and suites, the Restaurant LUMI including terrace, Bar NOX with its fire lounge, a library, three conference rooms and the Seezeit Spa. The renowned Berlin-based architecture company, GRAFT, was commissioned with creating the heavily nature-inspired architecture. The interior design and lighting concept was developed by Birgit Nicolay of NICOLAY DESIGN based in Stuttgart and New York.

The hotel is a member of the Hideaways Hotels Collection, and since the beginning of 2019, of Design Hotels TM . According to GEO Saison, it is one of the "100 most beautiful hotels in Europe 2018".

Your Lingenfelder family
& the König Ludwig team

The spacious wellness area of the hotel shines with indoor and outdoor pools, nature bio pool, whirlpools and 10 saunas with daily infusions. Families can enjoy precious moments in the separate family spa area and in the family textile sauna area.

A variety of activities such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing, skiing and tobogganing await right outside the front door.

In winter you can ski on 119 km of slopes at Kronplatz, South Tyrol's No. 1 ski area, or experience the famous Sellaronda ski tour. In summer, the beautiful landscape is best discovered on extensive hikes.

Fine cuisine and selected wines should of course not be missing during an active holiday in the Val Pusteria! Regional and Italian specialties crown your holiday.

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.

It is a place of tranquillity for a time-out without haste. A hideaway. Simply switch off, let the hustle and bustle of the world pass you by and listen to the whispering of the trees - nowhere does this better than here. You can choose between the historic villa and coach house or the newly built private spa suites with absolute privacy and personal wellness.

High-quality cuisine awaits you in the 20zwanzig restaurant, while the sauna and fitness facilities invite you to relax. While the medieval half-timbered streets of Stolberg nestle along the bed of the Thyra and the narrow Lude rivers in the valley below, the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk is enthroned high up on the Thyrahöhe and offers you a beautiful view, and not just from the large sun terrace.

With seven new Private Spa Suites in the Hotel & Spa Suites FreiWerk, you can enjoy exclusive moments of peace and quiet - all to yourself. Each individual Private Spa Suite in the Harz Mountains is two-storey and has a living space of around 100 m² with absolute privacy.
The spa suites are also furnished with selected works of art from the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory. Sustainability is very important to us, which is why our private spa suites are made entirely of wood from local Harz spruce. In our suites in the Harz Mountains, you can expect plenty of space, a high-quality interior and everything your wellness heart desires.

You can indulge in complete relaxation on two floors. The spacious living area, a shower room and a loggia with a fantastic view of the forest are located on the lower floor. A staircase takes you to the heart of the spa suites: In addition to a bedroom with a balcony, here you will also find the exclusive vitality area with a designer bathtub, a steam and infrared sauna with colored light play, a Finnish sauna and rain shower - it could hardly be more beautiful. In addition to the vitality area, the absolute highlight awaits you in the upper area: a secluded loggia with a cozy corner, an exclusively designed whirlpool for up to two people and a wonderful view of the forest - alone or as a couple.

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.

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.

South Tyrol - that's the place where Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Where enjoyment and culinary delights are writ large, where the heart is in the right place and where people are simply a little happier - and it is precisely this way of life that Luis Hillebrand, a true South Tyrolean, wants to bring to life - in the middle of the Allgäu. The more than 7,000 square meter garden with two natural lakes, Merano promenade, Kaltern hill and new palm tree infinity pool still form the heart of the complex today.

There is an alpine part with huts made of rustic shingles and an original Ultner herb garden and a Mediterranean part with palm trees and an infinity pool. This is where the two hearts of the South Tyroleans meet, combining Alpine lightness with Mediterranean flair and reflecting the multifaceted landscape of South Tyrol.

The more than 2,500 m² wellness area offers an indoor pool, a whirlpool, a bio sauna, a Finnish sauna, a South Tyrolean organic herbal sauna, a steam bath, forest lounges and a new Merano palm relaxation room.

In the restaurant, Alpine down-to-earthness meets Mediterranean lightness. Delicious dishes with natural ingredients, the herbs come from the hotel's own garden. High-quality products from small producers from our homeland - that's all you need, emphasizes Luis Hillebrand. South Tyrolean speck, fresh Alpine cheese, original Schlutzkrapfen or a racy glass of wine from the Merano winery. 100% South Tyrolean feeling - in the middle of the Allgäu.
