For once, you get to feel like a royal ... the Austrian emperor himself made sure long ago that the seasonal change of residence to the Alps became socially acceptable. The perfect noble hideaway for a summer getaway is die HOCHKÖNIGIN in Maria Alm. The hotel is family-run, so it's no wonder that it also sees itself as a place for parents and their children. It relies on a noble and at the same time cozy ambience, in which young and old alike feel at home. And although the furnishings are modern, you can feel the tradition. In summer, you can be driven to the mountains free of charge and enjoy the large range of activities on offer, or you can relax in the wellness area. Because a mountain vacation with the whole family makes you hungry, you can rely on the gourmet offer of the house. Some of the ingredients come from the hotel's own organic farm, and even the little ones love the relaxed, informal atmosphere.

Surrounded by the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites with its rock formations, alpine pastures and hiking trails lies the Sonnwies. The five-star family hotel with its own organic farm is a true place of strength for families, which places particular emphasis on raising children's awareness of nature. Little artists feel especially at home during creative outdoor activities, such as painting on a wooden easel. They also create shared memories in the gardens, in the private forest, in the manufactory or on the hotel's own mountain pasture. For gourmet pleasure, the Family Nature Culinary provides. Relaxation can be found in soothing yoga in the forest or during gentle e-bike tours. Top equipment is available in the new in-house bike rental with bike school and trained guides. An all-round nature experience in the mountains is available for the whole family with fun and adventure opportunities as well as many retreats.

Regarding the question, what are we doing today? ...My Neubergerhof in the Salzburg mountains always has the right answer. The hotel holds a colorful activity program for families and is the perfect starting point for mountain adventures. Eight horses and a petting zoo are part of the resort, and in the WASTL adventure camp, an Indian village, a campfire and archery await little explorers. The WASTL Plexx multipurpose hall is perfect for teens thanks to a disco, theater and cinema. While the kids romp and play, the adults retreat, either to the sustainable comfort rooms or to the spa complete with saunas and an indoor swimming pool. From the summer of 2023, bathing mermaids can look forward to even more water fun: from then on, you'll be swimming in the 96 m² infinity pool with a fantastic view of the surrounding mountains. Our own wood chip heating system ensures permanently warm water.
