Majestic mountains radiate incredible tranquility and power - perhaps that's why they form the perfect backdrop for holistic experiences, soothing spa treatments and unique retreats for body and mind.

Krallerhof

In Leogang in the middle of the Salzburg Alps, something has been created that sees landscape and people as one - the ATMOSPHERE by Krallerhof, a spa with sustainable DNA, blends fluidly into its surroundings. Architect Hadi Teherani's concept builds on the traditional roots of the five-star Krallerhof hotel with flowing forms, natural materials from the region and unobtrusive, understated colors. The highlight is the innovative relationship between water and nature: the newly created 5500 m2 natural swimming lake offers enough space for a 50-meter infinity pool. Indoors, you can relax in the numerous saunas or be magically attracted by the grottos. Especially popular is the ice grotto, which provides wonderful cooling and invigorates body and mind. The bright, light-flooded rooms - such as the relaxation room or the yoga room - offer views of the surrounding mountains.

Hardly any other hotel matches the spa town of Merano as perfectly as the SomVita Suites in Dorf Tirol. The exceptional hillside location allows a unique view over the city and to the peaks of the surrounding mountains, while the meadows shine lush green all around and the vineyards are wonderfully fragrant. The hotel's own Sky Terrace with its spacious green area blends in with the sunny surroundings and invites you to linger with comfortable loungers. Whether Garden Pool or Sky Pool - both tempt you to take a refreshing plunge into the cool water. Those who long for warmth should visit the sauna area with a panoramic view. After relaxing hours, retire to your comfortable and lovingly furnished suite and let yourself fall into the pillows. No matter whether for breakfast or in between for the small hunger: the SomVital-Superfood-Corner has the right healthy specialties ready for all gourmets.

Travel charm

The two new highlights in the Travel Charme portfolio could hardly be more opposite: with the Grand Hotel Straubinger, an elegantly opulent hotel opens its doors in 2023; its patina refers to its history, its lightness is inspired by a creative, visionary spirit. The Straubinger is the grand dame among the luxury hotels of Bad Gastein - here, you almost feel like a royal. Far younger, cooler and more overflowing is the Badeschloss, which has adapted to the modern zeitgeist despite its long history. Here, bathing stands as a symbol of revitalization; refreshingly easy is the everyday life in the colorful and detailed location. The opening of the houses is planned for fall 2023. For the opening, guests to be can look forward to exciting offers. Both hotels can already be booked now.
