"Enjoy holidays with your family in every aspect... in Winter... and also inSummer! :-)"
This
year we had the chance to refresh our winter-impressions from the outstanding familyhotel "Dachsteinkönig" and we want to share our summer-impressions with you.
As
the interior design hasn’t change, we will focus on the activities around the
astonishing hotel.
What
has changed since our winter-visit - what will you find in summer?
- There is a new self-service soft ice-bar, where all
your dreams come true. Ice with all toppings - yam!
- Outdoor you will find a beautiful garden, where you can
try herbs and typical Austrian berries - such as ‚Ribisel‘ - red
current.
- The kids enjoyed the bouncy castles a lot - great
fun.
- Also there is a small animal farm - there has been a
tiny pony and donkeys - so cute!
- All kind of vehicles for free use, will make kids tired
:) - and if you have a little extra budget, your kids can rent e-trials.
Don’t miss this!!
- A tiny crazy golf station will show who’s the best
player in your family.
- Go Hiking
- Heilbronn: Take the Krippenstein cable car to go up to the top and enjoy an outstanding view already during the ride. There is a family-friendly trail which can be recommended in any way, as beside the beautiful landscape there are lots of things to explore for children.
- Zwieselalm: Take the Gosaukamm cable car to go up the mountains and choose one of the nice trails there. Make sure to visit the authentic Zwieselalmhütte for nice lunch and a great view.
- Boat ride
- Go to the beautiful Gosau See, which can be reached in just some minutes by car and rent a boat there. You will have a great time cruising around the lake and watch the climbers on a spectacular track above the sea.
- Visit Hallstatt - A Unesco World Heritage Site
- The little village has a history reaching back 4000 years and is located and built directly on the Hallstätter See. Really impressive, but go there early as it is usually pretty crowded there.
“We already had a great time in Winter, but we were surprised how much we enjoyed the summer there as well. Lots of new possibilities have been established, we loved the oustanding hiking experiences and the kids couldn't be stopped riding the amazing E-Trial bikes.”

Design
With a lot of wood in shabby-chic the interior designers created a warm and familiar atmosphere. Decoration is alpine and not too much. As it is a family hotel kids are welcome nearly everywhere and we are very pleased as the furniture for them is not “funny” but in the same colonial look as for the grown ups – so everything fits in very well.
The tale of the “Dachsteinkönig” is kind of an orientation system within the hotel. Cockerel “Luki”, Dog “Lisl”, black bull “Toni” and the boy “Godei”, the heroes of the tale, are guiding through the hotel. It is a well figured out concept.
The split-levels and alcoves divide the huge restaurant area in comfortable parts so everyone can feel homely. In the well-appointed wine cellar you’ll find specialties from all over the world.
Around
Winter
- Ski lift and “Brumsi” ski-area for kids are across the street.
- The cross-country ski runs around the hotel are astonishing (50km).
- The hotel offers transfers to a toboggan run.
- Winter hiking tours
- The Dachstein massif is breathtaking
Summer
- Hiking to Mountain pastures
- Mountain biking
- Golf course
Conclusio
Very rarely you find a hotel where parents and children are hosted in a way that everybody is so satisfied. The owner Ernst Mayer and his team have created a concept that gratifies all your individual needs as a family in a high class way – wishes are fulfilled even before you have asked for.
Often the devil is in the detail but not here – every nut, bolt and screw is well elaborated so that your holiday will be unforgettable.
