When the first warm autumn colours tint the mountain slopes, the morning air turns crisp and the sun bathes the Gastein Valley in a special light, a time begins that is made for shared days in the mountains. For long walks, scenic hikes, soothing hours at the spa, special indulgence and evenings when nothing matters more than time together.
High above Bad Hofgastein, DAS.GOLDBERG becomes a retreat in autumn for everyone longing for a romantic getaway for two long for. In the heart of nature, with everything that makes a special wellness holiday in the Salzburg region.
Sometimes it does not take much at all. Put on your hiking boots, step outside the hotel and simply set off. All around DAS.GOLDBERG, 350 kilometres of hiking trails await, leading through the Gastein Valley and up into the Gastein mountains.
Leisurely from one alpine hut to the next, through forests and along sunny high trails, or a bit more sporty up to a summit: Hiking in Gastein shows its most beautiful side in autumn. Visibility is clear, temperatures are pleasant, and nature changes its colours almost daily.
And the best part? Many mountain experiences start right outside the hotel door. No major planning, no long journey to the starting point. Simply set off together, stop along the way when the view is just too beautiful, and spend the day at your own pace.
It is precisely this mix of activity, nature and time together that makes an autumn holiday in Bad Hofgastein so special.
Back at DAS.GOLDBERG, your hiking boots can take a break. In the 1,500 m² Nature’s Nest Spa, you go straight from the mountains into the water and from crisp autumn air into soothing warmth.
In the 22-metre infinity pool your gaze drifts over the Gastein Valley and the surrounding mountains. In the GOLD.STOLLEN, 420 tonnes of natural stone from the Hohe Tauern and temperatures of 42 to 45 degrees provide intense warmth. Saunas, steam bath and cosy relaxation areas create space to simply have nothing planned for a little longer.
Perhaps a soothing massage follows. Or it is time for a moment that truly belongs to just two people. With our Private Moments for 2 shared wellness time becomes completely private – for retreating, indulging and simply being together. Perhaps a shared moment in the whirlpool afterwards. Or a favourite spot with a view and the wonderful feeling of not having to go anywhere else today.
This is what wellness for two in the mountains feels like: not as an item on the agenda, but as part of the day.
And because time together also goes through the stomach, indulgence at DAS.GOLDBERG is simply part of it.
Even in the morning, the day can begin slowly. With a generous breakfast, a cup of coffee from our in-house roastery and the view out to the Gastein mountains, you will gladly linger a little longer. In the afternoon, there is time for a small bite before, in the evening, the kitchen becomes the stage for a delicious end to the day.
At the 5-course dinner menu selected ingredients meet creativity and a feel for the season. Whatever nature is offering at the moment finds its way onto the plate – accompanied by products from Austria and selected specialities from beyond its borders.
A good glass of wine. A beautifully set table. Mountains outside, warmth and indulgence inside. And your favourite person opposite you. Sometimes a special evening does not need anything more.
