Summer

COOLCATION: Escape the Heat

When summer gets too loud, the longing for silence grows. For a place that cools – not only the skin, but also the mind. Up where the wind blows more gently. Where meadows are greener. And the water is clearer. That’s where it begins: the Coolcation. A summer as it should be.

Cool Longing. Mountain Air in the Heart.

It’s a quiet moment. When summer becomes too much. When the window stays closed because the asphalt shimmers outside. When the thermometer stops falling. When the air conditioning hums – instead of the birds. Then it begins: the search for coolness. For a break from the heat. For the feeling of being able to breathe freely again.

And while life comes to a standstill down in the valley because the summer has become too loud, it whispers up on the mountain. An invitation to all those who prefer to breathe in mountain air instead of city air. Who rely on coolness instead of heat accumulation. Not on fashion – but on real freshness. On green meadows, glittering water surfaces and quiet moments. On Coolcation.

Summer Retreat. Rediscovered.

It used to be a way of life. The summer retreat. When the city dwellers moved out. Out of the noise, into the mountains. Today we call it something else. But the need remains the same: deceleration and lightness. A summer that doesn’t demand – but gives.

At DAS.GOLDBERG, this idea is revived. A boutique hotel that focuses on quiet tones. On design that breathes. On nature that works.
Up here, in the heart of the Salzburg region, at 1,200 meters, summer is not an enemy. It is a gift.

An infinity pool with crystal-clear spring water that cools the skin and widens the view. A natural bathing lake with private daybeds, surrounded by meadows, sandy beach and silence. Barefoot through the grass. Chilling with homemade ice cream in the Hanging Egg. The buzzing of the bees. And you in the middle of it all.

City versus mountain. The decision is easy for us.

A summer in the city?
Heat. Traffic jam. Queues. The asphalt is glowing. The air is still. The outdoor pool is overcrowded, the ice cream melts too quickly.

A summer on the mountain?
24 degrees. A wind that tells stories. A balcony in the sunshine. A glass of rosé at sunset. A spa that leaves room. A 5-course menu that ends the day with pleasure.

Instead of heat stress: hillside location with a view. Instead of noise: silent power. Instead of fast food: alpine cuisine.
The decision is not a question – but an invitation. To Coolcation.
In a nature hotel that begins exactly where summer can breathe again.
