At BALANCE, enjoyment and slowing down are redefined. Situated on a hill, it offers an exceptional feel-good experience based on the 4 elements for body, mind and soul, with a focus on health and wellness.

In addition to a 2000 m2 SPA with many new features, dreamlike rooms and suites and fantastic lake views, you can expect plenty of time for yourself. When health, art and pleasure are combined, then a special time-out has begun at BALANCE.

Here you can forget about time and let yourself fall into a world of relaxation and recreation. Let yourself be pampered by experienced hands, feel the beneficial effects of our treatments and experience how stress and worries fall away from you. Here you will find space for deep relaxation and regeneration.

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.

AVIVA is totally different. Eat together at large, sociable tables, get involved in a comprehensive daily programme of activities and entertainments with other guests, take part in more than 100 themed sports days (such as yoga, hiking, mountain biking, marathon training, etc.) and many events (beach party, white night, Oktoberfest, wine festival, etc.). There are guaranteed to be no couples and children at AVIVA, so you can simply chat, make friends, dance, party and relax - or simply have some time to yourself.  AVIVA is a relaxed, informal club holiday at 1,000 metres above sea level that retains superior four star standards, offering a 2,000-plus m2 spa with captivating views of the Alps, where you can dine in company, party in the hotel’s disco and field, brew beer in the Brau Boutique, relax in traditional comfort in the hotel’s mountain meadow, chill out in the magical location, pamper yourself with massage and beauty treatments, or simply enjoy some “me” time.

Arrive and feel good - this is how arriving at the Sporthotel Snowwhite feels. Sporty, elegant and unmistakably individual it goes on and this combination makes the vacation pure vacation happiness. The feeling of unobtrusive On the sunny side of Obertauern, in one of the most exciting winter ski areas in the Salzburg region, security and comfort guarantee relaxed moments.
Culinary delights await you from delicious products from the region. The varied breakfast buffet is offered until 11 a.m. with everything your heart desires. In the evening you can enjoy 4-course set menus, fine salads from the buffet and a fine selection of cheeses.
