Hiking holidays in the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels
The crème de la crème of the wellness hotel industry shake hands under the umbrella of the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels. The group includes 16 dream resorts in the four-star superior to five-star superior category - all of them special oases of well-being that have set themselves high quality standards and are located in the most beautiful hiking areas and holiday regions in Austria and South Tyrol.
The mountain is calling
Nature, forest and air give you strength, energy and vitality. Hiking and Nordic walking - these trendy year-round sports allow you to stay healthy, fit and energised all year round - ideally in combination with relaxing wellness and spa treatments. Around the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels you will find the perfect environment for activity with or without poles. Optimum conditions are guaranteed and the countless hiking trails lead across mountains and valleys to impressive natural sites and vantage points. At the Best Wellness Hotels in Austria and South Tyrol, active holidaymakers have the opportunity to take leisurely walks through alpine pastures, exciting ridge hikes and breathtaking summit ascents with trained hiking guides. And for those who want to improve their Nordic walking technique or learn this modern sport, expert guides have helpful tips and advice. Many of the hotels offer guided Nordic walking tours - past streams, across meadows and through forests. Nordic walking poles can be hired on site at the hotels. Of course, tour suggestions and maps are also available.
Around the most beautiful mountain lakes and to the most beautiful waterfalls
Almost all hotels are the starting point for wonderful hikes around picturesque mountain lakes, from small to large: we particularly recommend Lake Achensee, near the Wellnessresidenz Alpenrose, the Vilsalpsee nature reserve near the Wellnesshotel Engel, the Salzkammergut lakes around the Genussdorf Gmachl. The Stuibenfall, the highest waterfall in Tyrol, can be explored from the Naturhotel Waldklause, and there are also numerous waterfalls to hike around the Alpenpalace in the Ahrntal.
From gentle alpine pastures to bold high mountains
Hikes of all kinds, from easy to challenging, with a guide or in solitude, but in any case well signposted and starting directly from the hotel, can be found everywhere in the Best Alpine Wellness Hotels. However, those who love the gentle, rather hilly mountains will feel particularly at home at the Hotel Hochschober in the middle of the Nockberge. High mountains with alpine challenges can be found in the Tyrolean Zillertal around the STOCK resort, around the Übergossene Alm in Dienten am Hochkönig, in Warth am Arlberg, at the wellness hotel Warther Hof or at the Alpin Resort Sacher, which is located in beautiful Seefeld. The Hotel Post in Lermoos is located at the foot of the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany.
Alpine life and enjoyment
The Nesslerhof in Grossarl is located in the valley of alpine pastures, with over 30 alpine pastures all around. However, several of the resorts are located on very special Alpine pastures: The STOCK resort, the Krallerhof, the Theresa and the Alpenresort Schwarz all call an alpine pasture their own and combine this with special hikes and culinary highlights for their guests, such as the Gröstlessen with Stefan Egger, the head of the Theresa or the mountain breakfast at the STOCK.
Crowning finale
And after a fantastic day in the mountains, guests can enjoy pure relaxation in the extensive wellness areas and a wide range of spa and beauty treatments. All hotels offer a wide range of beauty and body treatments, wraps and baths. The Best Alpine Wellness Hotels also demonstrate a sense of pleasure in the kitchen - many of them have won awards for their culinary creations. The finest culinary compositions are served to round off your wellness holiday. The culinary compositions in the multi-course evening menus and fine wines from all over the world round off a perfect day in the mountains.
