The 43 rooms and 14 studios are perfectly proportioned and elegantly composed, and were designed by star architects NOA from Bolzano South Tyrol, alongside other areas such as the fine dining restaurant "Kantine Rosine", the "Queen Vicky Bar", the "Rosensaal Kino" and the unique SPA in the roof truss.

The unique and AHEAD Europe award-winning Premium SPA in the roof truss extends over almost 800 square meters on 2 floors. The highlight is the open and heated infinity pool with a direct view of the old town, which is open all year round. The offer is rounded off by a Finnish sauna, steam sauna, banya and fresh air area, as well as several treatment rooms. All directly under the roof gable. Our restaurant provides culinary delights at gourmet level.

The Cinderella Beauty & Relax Spa on 1500 m² leaves nothing to be desired. In the indoor area of 900 m², an indoor pool with a vortex canal, massage niches and a plunge pool, filled with Tauern spring water, invite you to take a dip. In the comfortably warm outdoor pool with massage bench, you can look directly at the breathtaking mountain peaks of the Tauern. The highlight is the hot tub right on the Edelweiss slope. If it is more than 36 degrees warm, close your eyes and let your mind wander, it couldn't be better. Two original Finnish Kelo saunas with a view of the unique mountain landscape, the steam bath with hand-shaped ceramics, the brine grotto and the tepidarium get tired muscles going again. Recharge your batteries in the "Room of Silence" and "Room of the Sun", switch off and find peace of mind - a guarantee for slowing down and taking a break from everyday life.
In the certified GUINOT institute, the highly qualified beauty team pampers you with the exclusive cosmetics line. Innovative treatment methods in technology and relaxation, always individually tailored, have their finger on the pulse.
The fitness room is equipped with the latest "Technogym" equipment, there is something for every workout and with a view of the imposing Plattenkar massif, motivation comes naturally.
Passion and cordiality - the credo of the hosts - is reflected in the whole house. The combination of natural building materials and modern design, paired with extraordinary eye-catchers, gives the house its unique atmosphere. "We look forward to your eyes!"
Delicacies from the region and around the world await you in the dining room. The late riser breakfast with regional organic products is available until 11 a.m., the perfect start to the day. As a refreshment in between, treat yourself to the ski snack, which is available from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. In the evening, you will be tempted by the finely composed 4-course menu, daily with crisp, fresh salads from the buffet and the exquisite “Cinderella Fondue Evening”.

The Brandl family and the ULRICHSHOF team

ULRICHSHOF is quietly located on the edge of the forest on a 64,000 m² hotel area in Zettisch in the nature paradise Bavarian Forest.

Bad Kötzting is 10 km away. The nearest train station is in Furth im Wald, 10 km away.

The Bavarian Forest is known as Europe’s most beautiful low mountain landscape, remarkable natural park in Germany and impressive magic forest in Bavaria. When speaking of the forest itself, it is usually meant the breathtaking cultural landscape in the east of Bavaria on the border to Bohemia. Endless hiking trails in untouched nature and a wide range of leisure and cultural activities in every season have made the Bavarian Forest one of the famous family holiday regions in Germany.

The winter in the Bavarian Forest is like a wonderland of forest and snow. Next to you a snow-covered tree top, above you the bright blue sky and in front of you nothing but limitless snow fun - this is winter holidays in the Bavarian Forest. Whether on the sledge hill behind the Spiel-KISTE or in one of the three nearby ski areas Hohenbogen, Eck-Riedelstein or ArberLand at Großer Arber, fun with the whole family is guaranteed. In the ski areas, perfectly groomed slopes and cosy places to stop await visitors.

Those who want to take it easy can experience pure wellness while strolling through the area. The fresh, clean air and refreshing nature give strength and new vital energy. A wellness or family holiday in the Bavarian Forest is therefore for many an absolute insider tip.

Your very personal vacation happiness
The Herbst family welcomes you to the Good Life Resort Riederalm 4*S. We look forward to you finding a vacation home with us in Leogang. No matter whether you want to spend a romantic break with your loved one, experience an unforgettable family vacation or forget all your everyday worries on a wellness vacation - here you can feel completely at ease.

Active vacation in a prime location
Look forward to an active vacation in the very best location - at any time of year. The Good Life Resort Riederalm is located directly at the valley station of the Asitzbahn, making it the perfect starting point for outdoor adventures: In winter, you are on vacation in the heart of one of Austria's largest ski areas, the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn. Unlimited skiing fun awaits you here with over 270 kilometers of pistes and 70 modern lifts.
And in summer, the Asitzbahn takes you to the hiking and biking paradise in just a few minutes: 400 km of hiking trails and more than 90 km of bike routes ensure plenty of adventure, fun and action on your active vacation. A very special highlight is the Epic Bikepark Leogang: right on the doorstep of the Riederalm, both mountain bike "rookies" and bike "pros" get their money's worth.

Vacation enjoyment with panoramic views
At the Good Life Resort Riederalm, "perfect location right by the cable car" and "stunning panoramic views" are not mutually exclusive - on the contrary, they complement each other perfectly. A very special luxury awaits you on your vacation at the Riederalm: the panoramic view is omnipresent. Whether swimming in the thermal pool, relaxing in the sauna or enjoying the "dahoam" - all this becomes even more beautiful and magical when you can do it with a view of the Leoganger Steinberge mountains.

Switch off and recharge your batteries in the Mountain SPA
Peace, relaxation and plenty of wellness bliss await adult guests at the Riederalm in the Adults Only Mountain SPA. Do nothing for once, just relax and enjoy the view of the Leogang Steinberge mountains. Take time to dream - or treat yourself to a wellness day just the way you like it. Immerse yourself in the 33 degree thermal pool, filled with healing water from St. Martin/Lofer and enjoy the wonderful panoramic view. The view of the Leogang Steinberge mountains is also omnipresent while sweating in the 90 degree panorama sauna and relaxing in the Zirben-Relax-Cube - welcome to wellness paradise!


Water fun for young and old
Take an adventure pool, a 57.57-metre-long water slide, a family sauna and a relaxation area especially for families - and you have the Pinzgau Water Festival, the water experience for guests of all ages. Water rats get their money's worth here - panoramic views included, of course. Especially in winter, the Pinzgau Water Festival is an absolute family highlight when you're not on the slopes. But smiling faces are also guaranteed on rainy days in spring, summer and fall.

Unforgettable vacation moments with the whole family
We are parents ourselves and therefore know exactly what is needed for a successful family vacation: Plenty of space for time together and experiences with the whole family, but also opportunities to run around and "be a kid" for the kids and places of rest and retreat to relax for the parents. You can look forward to all of this on a family vacation at the Riederalm: the trendy trampoline hall, the adventure park and the traffic park for children right next to the restaurant and a large indoor and outdoor playground will make children's eyes light up, while mom and dad can enjoy a relaxing dinner or wellness time for two.

Luxurious vacation enjoyment in a feel-good atmosphere
Luxury and a feel-good atmosphere come together here: every room and every suite has been lovingly furnished by us so that you can feel completely at ease in your vacation home.

The Gassenhof is an adventure resort in the truest sense of the word. Those who spend their vacation at this hotel in Ridnaun enjoy relaxing moments in and around the adventure resort.

In summer, a hiking vacation in South Tyrol becomes an unforgettable experience. We accompany you on alpine hikes or high mountain tours and introduce you to the flora and fauna of South Tyrol. During cozy hours in the traditional alpine huts, you will learn many an anecdote from the Ridnaun Valley.

In winter, the area around the adventure village is ideal for cross-country skiing and skiing vacations in South Tyrol. The snow-sure Racines/Ratschings Valley with its wide cross-country ski trails and perfectly groomed pistes is a true Eldorado for winter lovers.
We offer you an unforgettable experience of the relaxing kind in the Gassenbadl and in the new Logen Spa of our wellness hotel near Racines/Ratschings.

The spacious property has 111 rooms and suites in an impressive Art Nouveau building ensemble. The Gästehaus Halenberg welcomes arrivals in the spacious foyer, whose eye-catcher is God Bacchus, carved out of stone and enthroned above a soothingly rippling fountain. Guests can choose between modern rooms and suites in the Halenberg guest house and the tastefully furnished romantic rooms in the original guest houses. The detached Heimat & SPA Lodges on the mountain offer a very individual and discreet type of vacation.

Like the Gästehaus Halenberg, the SPA Frühlingsplätzchen is named after one of the premium vineyards on the Nahe. Covering an area of approx. 3,500m², the SPA is a wonderful place to relax in Finnish saunas, a bio sauna, steam baths, an indoor pool and whirlpool as well as five differently designed relaxation rooms. The wellness offer is complemented by outdoor attractions such as the Hubertus sauna, the 20-metre-long heated outdoor pool and the SPA garden by the river. In 2020, the exclusive Prana SPA celebrated its opening. It is dedicated to the "activation of energy centers", individual chakra work, meditation and aerial yoga.

The multi-award-winning wellness resort in the heart of Rhineland-Palatinate owes its fame not least to its exquisite cuisine: in addition to the Villa restaurant and the Hermannshof gourmet restaurant, the Jungborn attracts guests from near and far. For many years in a row, it has held the coveted Michelin star under the direction of chef Philipp Helzle. The newest event venue at BollAnts in Bad Sobernheim is the LINDEN bar & lounge. The kitchen team serves small and large dishes for lunch and dinner. The experienced bartender spoils you with creative cocktails, long drink classics and advises you on the choice from the extensive wine list.

Many guests also come to BollAnts for therapeutic fasting. Pastor Emanuel Felke once worked here and relied on the healing power of the natural elements of earth, light, air and water. The tradition of this Felke healing method has been continued and further developed under the medical direction of Dr. Axel Bolland. Together with his team at Felke Med Praxis, he looks after fasting guests who want to completely regenerate body and mind and embark on the "royal road to health".

Our offer: Overnight stay in a Wellness Classic room . Small, fine, cozy and stylish! The Wellness Classic rooms are generously equipped, some with a balcony and a view of the romantic Art Nouveau park. They are located in the historic part of the building ensemble, in the BollAnts Original Guest Houses. Other room categories are available for an extra charge. Our reservations department will be happy to help you find the right room.
