One of the top wellness hotels Carinthia, Austria

Panoramic views.
Fresh air.
Majestic mountains.

The beauty of nature.
In high altitude.

A big advantage is the location of our wellness hotel in Carinthia at almost 1,800 meters above sea level. The high-altitude climate has invigorating effects. In summer, the temperatures remain pleasant. Cool nights ensure restful sleep. In winter, nature provides for plenty of snow on the Turracher Höhe. The ski area is considered particularly snow-sure. The skiing season lasts from the end of November well into April.

Unspoilt nature near the wellness hotel in Carinthia

Find the forest at the doorstep of our wellness hotel in Carinthia. Surrounded by larches and Swiss stone pines and the gentle peaks of the Biosphere Reserve Nockberge. A true gift from nature, as not everywhere in Austria trees can be found on this level of altitude (1,800 meters above sea level). The bounty of trees shapes the beautiful landscape. Moreover, the trees provide shade for hikers on sunny days and, very importantly, contribute to the high air quality at the Turracher Höhe. Take your time to look and inhale the fragrance as you walk or ride through the woods.
