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.

REAL productive.

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.

Gently nestled between mountain peaks, it lies there, in perhaps the most beautiful valley in the world. Our Hotel Valavier is located in the Brandnertal – embraced by the Rätikon and guarded by the sky itself.

Immerse yourself in gentle water. Free yourself from everyday worries. Let yourself be carried by the element. Find lightness. Let yourself drift. The view of the sky. No matter whether in the year-round heated outdoor pool directly in the paradise garden. Splashing around with the children at the children's pool. Or indoors in the stylish sky bath, with a heavenly panoramic view over the Brandnertal. We love it when you show up with us to hide away.

Real warmth and real people: these are our inclusive services. Come in to Valavier!
