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 hotel is one of the best wellness addresses in the Alps. It impresses with its personality, plenty of privacy and a unique medical wellness program. The luxurious relaxation landscape of pools, whirlpools and saunas offers unusual highlights on 3500 square meters. For example, you can relax in the cozy fireplace room with heated waterbeds according to all the rules of the art.

The up to 250 m² suites with whirlpool, sauna, steam bath and solarium shower are modern, romantic and above all spacious. They enchant with a fantastic view of the Tyrolean Alps, which makes you want to immerse yourself in the magnificent mountain panorama. Whether it's a pedalo ride on the Haldensee lake, an e-bike tour or cross-country skiing through the snow-covered valley, which is covered in a peaceful silence in winter.

With the new "Dine Around" offer, we invite our guests on a culinary journey of discovery through ...dear Rot-Flüh.
Wanderlust and a sense of home. Modern lightness and genuine Tyrolean traditional cuisine. Exclusive ambience and authentic entertainment. The ...liebes Rot-Flüh celebrates an incredible range of culinary delights. The two new chefs Markus Wanner and Peter Kaufmann - you can read more about our new additions on page XX - skillfully play the entire range of culinary delights.

We celebrate variety!
We are celebrating this wealth of possibilities with our new "Dine Around" offer! Five days a week, we invite you on a special culinary journey of discovery through ...liebes Rot-Flüh, where you can dine in our restaurants at no extra charge. Start your day with an unobstructed view of Lake Haldensee in our breakfast room. The aroma of fresh bread and pastries fills the air. Our breakfast chef will prepare eggs from happy chickens from the region for you or you can try our deliciously healthy porridge, which provides plenty of energy despite being low in calories. At lunchtime, you can dine in the Grotto Vale Pino or on the pool terrace, where quality Alpine products are prepared with plenty of Mediterranean sophistication. In the afternoon, you can enjoy coffee and a variety of cakes from our in-house patisserie in the Montanara Hall. In the evening, you have a free choice between gastronomic excellence in "La Cascata nobile" or a delicious 3-course menu, which you can select from our a la carte menu in the "Via Mala" experience restaurant. You can also bring the day to a tasteful close with a traditional fondue evening.

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!

Feel good
Still waters and cozy warmth. Deep-rooted naturalness and airy lightness. From inside to outside. From above to below. From sweet idleness to conscious being. In our Crystal and GardenSPA on over 1,200 m², the opposites merge so naturally that you will realize with a satisfied smile how wonderfully enriching it can be to always find a new favourite place for yourself. Before, after, instead or in between - you can mix everything with everything for a relaxing break.
1,200 m² wellness indoor color light pool, natural "mountain lake" pool, salt sauna, panoramic outdoor sauna, organic sauna with spruce scent, mountain crystal steam bath, Swiss stone pine sauna, ice fountain, infrared loungers, family relaxation room and family dress-on-sauna

Out and about
Are you a true child of nature and just as drawn to the outdoors as we are? Wonderful, because as a member of the best hiking hotels in the Alps, our main aim is to find strength and inspiration in nature all year round.
On at least 5 guided hikes, we, hiking guide Monika and boss Hans-Peter Gassner, would like to introduce you to the diversity of nature in the surrounding mountains, hike with you through blooming alpine pastures and climb over perpetual ice to the region's panoramic peaks.

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.

The Gassner family with the entire rope team.

The hotel impresses with its tasteful architecture and enchanting details. The interior of the hotel continues this special symbiosis: individually furnished with love and a sense of style, warm colors, fine fabrics. We hope that you will experience the Majestic as a source of strength. In a traditional hotel where the Alpine and Mediterranean art of living form the framework for a unique attitude to life.

In a ski hotel where alpine winter sports become a celebration. Located right next to the ski area, you can glide down the slopes and cross-country ski trails. In a hiking hotel where your heart will open with every meter of altitude you climb with our hiking guide. Unlimited freedom, fantastic mountains and unforgettable impressions of nature. In a wellness hotel where everyday moments take a back seat. And moments of relaxation come to life. In the here. And in the now.

The ****S wellness hotel is a retreat for adults only, where the needs of guests aged 16 and over who are looking for relaxation are catered for. Nestled in the gentle hills of the thermal and volcanic region, you are very close to nature and the region invites you to actively explore. Here the golf adventure calls and the thermal water splashes relaxedly in front of you.

The perfect place for a romantic break for two, an active holiday for nature lovers or a wellness weekend with your best friends. An ideal place for your business event. Because in the SPA RESORT STYRIA you will find the perfect working environment for seminars and conferences.

REALLY relaxing – the GOLD SPA
Feel the lightness of being when you are carried on your hands by the healing thermal water, take a sauna in the pleasant warmth or swim lengths in the outdoor sports pool. In the Gold SPA you can quickly switch to relaxation mode. On an area of around 2500m2, surrounded by a garden landscape, you will find a wellness and sauna area that invites you to relax and switch off with cozy relaxation rooms, a spacious, shady sunbathing lawn and a panorama lounge. For a pampering program from head to toe, put yourself in the "golden hands" of the experts and enjoy an individual facial treatment, a relaxing massage or a wonderfully nourishing body pack with maximum effectiveness.

REALLY enjoyable 
Culinary moments of happiness are part of a successful holiday. That's why the chefs at the SPA RESORT STYRIA really cook, bake and roast their guests. Always fresh, prepared with time and love. Traditional recipes from the best regional ingredients, creatively interpreted and tasted internationally. The kitchen team at the Spa Resort Styria pampers the palate of its guests with a rich breakfast buffet and delicious 6-course gourmet menus or an extra portion of romance with a candlelight dinner. For a snack and a sweet treat in between or a refreshing drink after a sauna session, the best thing to do is lean back in the golden berths in the SPA BISTRO and enjoy the culinary moment in your bathrobe.

REALLY eventful.
Cycling, Nordic walking, (wine) hiking, tennis or golf - the resort is an ideal starting point for moving moments, as a balance to the wellness treatments and sweet idleness. The focus is not only on movement, but also on the experience that allows you to pause and enjoy. Cyclists can rent an e-bike directly from the hotel and have countless pleasure kilometers and 14 themed cycle paths in front of their handlebars. Pleasure hikers stop between the vineyards at a wine tavern. But golfers are also in absolute pole position here, because the 18-hole course of the Bad Waltersdorf golf club welcomes them directly opposite the resort.

REAL productive.
In the SPA RESORT STYRIA you can combine work and pleasure. Discuss in a relaxed environment, realize and enjoy creative ideas - and then get active and relax together in the thermal baths and volcano country.
