A shallow mist lies over the water of Kitzbühel's Schwarzsee like a mysterious veil as the first rays of dawn illuminate the horizon. A soft "Ommm" drifts through the air from the jetty, where yoga fans have gathered for a relaxing morning session. Behind the wooded shore, the Alps stretch towards the sky, slowly losing the white glow on the peaks. This backdrop between moor and mountain, where the wooden façade of the Alpenhotel Kitzbühel blends in perfectly, looks like a painting.

Anyonoe who checks in here, is enveloped by sweet tranquility and idyllic nature. The four-star superior hotel is one of the most popular wellness destinations in the area, not least due to its location and direct access to the lake. In addition to an infinity pool, an indoor sauna area and pleasant treatments and massages, a Finnish lakeside sauna has been built directly on the shore to make your skin tingle. If you dare, you can cool off afterward with a dip in the Schwarzsee: a refreshing kick with a beneficial effect on body and mind, as moor water promotes blood circulation, relaxes muscles and stimulates the metabolism – therapeutic bathing, so to speak.

In addition to the wellness oasis and sun deck, "Das Steghaus" right on the lake is popular for its Austrian soul food. "Bon appétit" is also the motto in the hotel restaurant, featuring a large sun terrace just above the lake where Austrian classics and fresh, Mediterranean-inspired dishes are served. A special sense of dolce vita mingles in with the alpine ambience here.
