Idyllic Austrian mountain retreat with a spa & panoramic views

Genuss und Aktivhotel Sonnenburg, Riezlern, Austria

Time-limited

Property details

A picturesque Austrian mountain stay at a first-rate hotel with a spa and award-winning restaurant - includes breakfast, and mountain railway tickets
  • Mountain idylls: ‘Traditional yet refreshingly different’ is the self-proclaimed motto of the family-run Genuss und Aktivhotel Sonnenburg, occupying an enviable position in Austria’s magical Kleinwalsertal Valley. Here, sweeping mountain views are served with warm personal hospitality, and you'll also find top-notch dining and wellness, and guestrooms oozing Alpine-chic style, charm and comfort.

  • Gourmet cuisine: You'll look forward to every meal at the hotel's delightful restaurant, where classic Alpine cuisine is served with a creative modern twist. High-quality ingredients are not only sourced from the region, but they’re dictated by the seasons for ultimate freshness and flavour - some produce even comes from the hotel’s own garden. Then there’s the wine list, with the perfect pairings for all dishes.

  • Alpine R&R: A stay at the hotel's wonderful vitality-concept Relax-Spa is guaranteed to leave you feeling refreshed and restored - while away an afternoon between the sauna complex, steam room, and spa lounge, or switch things up with a yoga class to unwind after long days out. There's also a tempting selection of massages and treatments on offer, while a panoramic infinity pool (the first in the area), the next jewel in the hotel's crown, is set to open in late October 2023.
