Two in one Vacation on the Dachstein
Unique Family Experiences & Premium Alpine Spa (ages 16 and up)
At 1,117 meters above sea level, with sweeping views of the Dachstein and the Ennstal Valley, lies the Höflehner Naturresort. Here, nature is more than just a beautiful view: it is a space for activity, an adventure playground, and a source of energy. With its refined vacation concept, this hiking hotel carries this philosophy forward—offering spectacular adventure worlds for families, a retreat for adults, and a high-quality longevity program.
Nature is an adventure playground for the little ones, a space for relaxation for those who appreciate the finer things in life, a source of rejuvenation for the health-conscious, and a place for action lovers to burn off energy. The Höflehner family has embraced the immense value that nature brings to our lives and thoughtfully incorporated it into the expansion of the hotel:
In 2026, the Höflehner Nature and Wellness Hotel—thanks to the host family’s largest investment to date—became the Höflehner Naturresort, featuring two distinct vacation worlds. The new name—like nature itself—represents a concept that puts individual vacation wishes at the center.
Being outdoors, exploring the mountains, and experiencing the landscape with all your senses: This has always been part of a vacation at the Höflehner Naturresort. Now, the areas for children and those for adults are clearly separated. Peace and quiet and action are not a contradiction when vacationing on the Dachstein.
A family vacation should be fun for everyone. No kids struggling through long, drawn-out hikes, no teenagers forced to do boring baby stuff, and no parents pushed into embarrassing situations by hyperactive mascots providing nonstop entertainment. The ideal scenario is sharing experiences together, where everyone gets what they want. That way, you’ll always have plenty to talk about—at the very least during dinner.
For children, nature becomes an adventure—and physical activity becomes play. There’s plenty of space around the Höflehner Nature Resort to be out and about: on little discovery tours, on kid-friendly hikes, or while playing and exploring the alpine landscape. It’s perfectly fine to simply watch a stream, step over tree roots, or take a closer look at an anthill.
The family area inside the hotel ties in with the outdoors and continues the adventure indoors.

In addition, there are 30 new family rooms and suites. Featuring natural materials and a forest-inspired design, they reflect the alpine surroundings. This way, the nature experience continues right inside the hotel.

The Premium Alpin Spa is designed for adults ages 16 and older who want to use their time away not only to relax, but also to take a mindful approach to their own health. In addition to the classic wellness facilities, longevity, health care, and modern biohacking methods play an important role.
The offerings range from personalized health assessments with the uVida Longevity Check-up to IHHT altitude training and red light therapy. The focus is on various aspects: personal health goals, targeted training stimuli, and recovery. Year-round retreats and customizable health programs allow guests to tailor their stay to their own interests.
The alpine setting naturally complements this approach. Exercise in the fresh mountain air, the tranquility of the landscape, and mindful relaxation are just as much a part of the experience as the spa offerings.
Find out what lies behind the longevity concept and the importance of sleep, exercise, nutrition, and relaxation for Alpine Longevity in our article "Longevity at the Höflehner Naturresort".
As different as the two vacation areas are, they share a common starting point: outdoor activities in the natural surroundings of the Höflehner Naturresort. The Schladming-Dachstein region offers plenty of opportunities for this. In summer, the mountains invite you to go hiking and exploring. In winter, you can head straight from the hotel onto the ski slopes. The resort’s expanded winter offerings also include its own practice slope with a children’s conveyor belt.
The Höflehner Naturresort thus combines two vacation worlds under one roof—while remaining true to its Alpine surroundings. Because here, nature isn’t just the panorama outside the window. It’s the place that gives you the energy you need to recharge.
The Höflehner Naturresort is located at 1,117 meters above sea level in Styria, in the Schladming-Dachstein vacation region, with panoramic views of the Enn Valley.
Guided hikes are offered daily at various difficulty levels and are free for hotel guests.
The 70-meter-long “Peak70” tube slide with a timing system offers thrilling rides. “The Wave” wave slide, the spacious indoor family pool, and the Infinity Skypool guarantee a fun time in the water. Mounty’s Splash Pool, featuring a water playhouse and slides, as well as the toddler pool, are designed specifically for our youngest guests. A family sauna and steam room round out the aquatic experience.
Yes, in winter, the fun on the slopes begins right outside the hotel door. For children, there is a practice slope with a 70-meter and a 15-meter “magic carpet,” as well as a sports shop and ski rental right on the premises.
Yes, the Höflehner Naturresort offers daily childcare. For the youngest guests, there is a separate baby area with a changing room and childcare starting at birth.
The Höflehner Naturresort has an underground parking garage with 65 parking spaces.
