Especially at DAS EDELWEISS, it becomes clear why this time of year is so special.

At the heart of it all is the 75,000 sq. ft. EDELWEISS Mountain Spa.

Whether in the outdoor pools overlooking the breathtaking mountain landscape, in the spacious sauna area, or in the cozy relaxation rooms – relaxation is not just offered here, but noticeably elevated.
This experience is complemented by individual treatments and massages in our EDELWEISS Beauty Mountain Spa, where a highly trained team ensures your personal well-being with great sensitivity and expertise. Special attention is also given to our in-house natural cosmetics line EDELWEISS Natur – The Power of Your Life, based on alpine medicinal herbs and natural ingredients, making the regenerative power of the mountains truly tangible.
Spring feelings between wellness and nature
A wellness vacation in spring in Austria offers not only relaxation in the spa, but also regenerative activities in nature. Around DAS EDELWEISS, the first hikes in the Valley of Alpine Huts invite guests to discover the region in its most authentic form – expansive, and far from the peak summer season. It is precisely this combination of movement and retreat that makes spring so valuable and sustainably restorative. At the same time, the newly designed yoga platforms just behind the hotel provide a unique setting for energizing asanas in the open air. With views of the impressive mountain landscape, an atmosphere is created that naturally connects movement and mindfulness.
What makes a spring vacation in Salzburger Land even more special are the small, intentionally curated moments: a private spa experience, an exclusive outdoor picnic, or simply a thoughtfully decorated room. Our “Once in a lifetime experiences” offer that extra touch and create space for exclusive time together. This turns DAS EDELWEISS into a place where the perfect spring getaway can be experienced in an especially meaningful way.
