Make yourself at home: infused with the power of the Alps, DAS ALPENHAUS Gasteinertal’s 89 comfortable rooms and suites offer a hint of ‘grand charm’. Warm colours and a passion for detail create a relaxing atmosphere. Modern Alpine interiors are paired with an elegant exterior.

Every room and suite has its own balcony or terrace so that you can enjoy stunning sunrises and Gastein’s majestic mountains. Sleep deeply and wake up feeling refreshed thanks to excellent mattresses; hypoallergenic beds; the fresh, clear mountain air; oxygen-rich forests and the extraordinary, invigorating stillness.

ALPENHAUS cuisine celebrates its origins while always reinventing itself as it satisfies ever-changing tastes and requirements. Many of the hotel’s culinary treasures are sourced directly from the region: fruits of the forests, meadow herbs and freshly caught fish. Guests rejoice in Gastein’s gastronomic experiences and celebrate Alpine culinary craft at the à la carte gourmet restaurant with its bar and spacious terrace.

Diners choose from an exquisite selection of wines, as well as ALPEN.KRAFT herb essences and forest cocktails. Enjoy Gastein with all of the senses: from a drink by the fire in the lobby to a 4-course dinner with options. It’s all about healthy cuisine for connoisseurs and includes vegetarian and vegan options as well as inspiring themed buffets.

The ALPEN.KRAFT.DETOX programme combines nutrition, exercise and treatments to activate the body’s own detoxification processes. This concept does not simply involve treatments or a change of diet; it is a holistic approach, offering ideal conditions for the body to realign itself and regain its strength. The hotel’s retreats combine movement techniques and meditative methods from around the world with detoxifying treatments and diets based on Alpine nature. Purification for body, mind and soul – gentle, beneficial and long-lasting.

Recharge your energy stores at Gastein’s places of special spiritual significance with MAN.OF.NATURE Alfred Silbergasser. Sign up for herbal forays and learn to make your own herbal oils and tinctures, or reduce your stress levels on nature meditations. As an experienced wilderness educator, Alfred Silbergasser sees it as his task to help people rediscover the beauty and meaning of nature. He invites you on a journey to the roots of your being as he reopens your access to the world of nature.

Setting off on a hike with Alfred Silbergasser means studying and hearing stories about the natural environment, tracing animal tracks and learning to identify animal noises as well as plants and trees. Once you discover that the inconspicuous little weed growing on the grass verge is a highly effective medicinal herb, that the tree you usually pass by without a second thought has hundreds of years under its belt, and that the clouds in the sky allow us to draw conclusions about the weather, we realise just how much we don’t know.

DAS ALPENHAUS Gasteinertal offers a unique retreat programme with a person-centred concept that focuses on the needs of individuals. ALPEN.KRAFT.RETREATS are based on five pillars: Detox, Destress, Restart, Yoga and MAN.OF.NATURE. These inspire the spirit to soar, strengthen the body and bring peace to the soul.

Whether you choose an innovative mix of special treatments combined with grounding bodywork, a thrilling nature workshop with wilderness educator Alfred Silbergasser, or an intensive Yoga getaway to exercise both body and soul – the objectives of ALPEN.KRAFT.RETREATS and workshops are always: back to me, back to health, back to nature.

Whatever your occupation, sex or age, life’s daily challenges lurk around every corner. Our 24-hour-a-day availability, having to always be connected, always be patient and approachable means that other people, work and time pressures take over our lives. The result is an unhealthy lifestyle that make us listless as well as restless. This is why mindfulness and giving body and mind a break are so important.

ALPEN.KRAFT.RETREATS will help and guide you along the way. By venturing out into nature and the mountains, you will gain a sense of space, freedom and inner peace. Furthermore, all that fresh oxygen energises your body’s every cell. The programmes are designed to boost muscle power, promote flexibility, open up new pathways, and cause you to study yourself, your needs and your desires. Sharpen your consciousness, rediscover mental strength, and let go of stresses and strains!
