Your wellness hotel in Bavarian forest

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!

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.

Spend carefree holidays at VILA VITA Pannonia. The diversity of the holiday resort is impressive - for sports enthusiasts and bathing beauties, for wellness lovers as well as for big and small gourmets. The natural area in which the VILA VITA Pannonia nestles is over 200 hectares:

When it comes to culinary delights, the VILA VITA Pannonia leaves nothing to be desired. The offer ranges from the VITAL bistro, to rustic delicacies in the Csarda, to the gourmet restaurant "die Möwe" right on the hotel's own bathing lake.

An exceptional range of treatments in the Orkeland SPA Orient round off the relaxation experience.

You can get active with us in many different ways. Hiking from the hotel door, riding our Finnhorses or your own horse, yoga, biking, walking and many other options.

You will find your favorite place in the individually designed living and sleeping rooms with a fantastic view over fields and forests. With unusual materials and refreshing colors, size and comfort just as you wish.

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.
