Here, right by the lake, surrounded by the stunning mountain scenery of the Steinernes Meer, the warm-hearted host family around Hannes and Martina Riedlsperger have created an exclusive place of indulgence - a place to relax, recharge your batteries and have a really good time.

The Spa am See is located between the two buildings that make up the Wellnesshotel Ritzenhof. The underground wellness oasis opens directly onto the shore of Lake Ritzensee with a private sunbathing lawn. There you can doze in one of the shell and floating loungers with the sound of the reeds in your ears. An indoor pool, Finnish sauna, textile sauna, steam bath, sanarium, infrared cabin and massages or beauty treatments tailored to your individual needs await you in the spa by the lake.

In winter, the cross-country ski trail runs right past the spa and provides access to the region's extensive network of trails. Some people also chase their childhood memories on ice skates on the frozen Ritzensee or simply warm themselves by the flickering fire.

The stylishly furnished rooms and suites are deliberately kept simple; nothing should distract from the essentials. Clear lines and materials replace the sensory overload to which we are exposed in everyday life. The reduction to the essentials helps you to switch off quickly and consciously move in the here and now.

The centerpiece: our wellness area 20 Stories Sauna & Spa
Here you will find a place of pure relaxation, where body and soul come to rest at the same time. Our sauna area invites you to enjoy everything from gentle warmth to deeply relaxing infusions, while refreshing tropical showers, Rasul baths and soothing wellness treatments turn every moment into a little luxury.

In the heated outdoor pool , you glide between the sky and the water, feeling the vastness, the freedom and the light feeling of simply letting go. The proximity to the Baltic Sea, the fresh breeze and the sound of the waves give you a feeling of boundless lightness - and suddenly everything else is far away.

Arrive. Enjoy. Wanting to stay.
As soon as you enter the lobby, you are surrounded by warm light, fine materials and that deep "This is the right place for me." Take a seat in our bar or indulge yourself in the SunDown Restaurant : Breakfast in the morning light, coffee and cake in the afternoon or dinner at sunset. And best of all: we always serve you the view from the panoramic window.

Here, tranquillity, nature and luxury merge into unforgettable moments. Every view of the sea, every sunrise, every relaxing hour in the sauna reminds you that a vacation is more than just a time-out - it's an arrival at yourself. SlowDown Bottsand | Hotel & Spa: Your place for relaxation, enjoyment and real moments by the sea.

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 Feuerstein is a veritable land of milk and honey for children and an ideal place for parents to relax and recharge their batteries. A unique offer based on the philosophy of Maria Montessori awaits our little guests as part of our nature-based childcare: Crafts and handicrafts in the wood workshop, playing, climbing and jumping in the play barn, painting in the studio, building sandcastles in the mud room, going on a treasure hunt, baking bread on a stick over an open fire and much more.

While the little ones are well looked after, parents can sit back, relax and enjoy time together. The surrounding mountains beckon you outdoors, the separate adults-only spa area is the perfect place to relax, yoga and meditation sessions ensure pure relaxation and the well-equipped fitness room invites you to work out.

Wellness enjoyment for the whole family awaits in the 3,000 m² Mountain Spa with infinity outdoor pool, three indoor pools, an over 100 m long water slide with timer, various saunas and cozy corners for moments of relaxation together.

Horse lovers will also get their money's worth at the Feuerstein - in the new riding stables with petting zoo. Pony rides, taster lessons for beginners, exciting riding lessons for advanced riders, vaulting and cavaletti lessons and rides through the impressive mountain scenery are all on the program.

Culinary delights ranging from Mediterranean to Alpine cuisine with ingredients from the region are served in the restaurant, which consists of eight dining rooms, and those who want to treat themselves to a very special evening can visit the hotel's own gourmet restaurant, Artifex.

The spacious rooms, suites and chalets, furnished with high-quality natural materials, offer a first-class living atmosphere, with something to suit every family constellation.

Let yourself be enchanted by this magical place.
