A first-class hotel set in Austria's striking Gastein Valley - includes breakfast, dinner, spa perks and more
  • A thrilling stay: Nestled in the mighty Alps, EUROPÄISCHER HOF Aktivhotel & Spa is a luxurious mountain pad for the adventurous at heart. In the summer don your hiking boots or hire a mountain bike and set out for a day of magnificent mountainscapes; there are also tennis courts at the hotel, as well as the Golf Club Gastein across the road. In the winter you'll undoubtedly spend your days whizzing down the slopes, setting out for a snowshoe hike, enjoying a fun time in the snow park, or even trying your hand at cross-country skiing.

  • Regional cuisine: Kick-start your day with the rich buffet breakfast, where all the usual favourites are accompanied by lashings of fresh coffee, kombucha and juice. Later, dine on Alpine specialities which are whipped up using the best local produce and ingredients. And after a day out in the mountains, you'll have the cosy bar to come back to, where you can enjoy a well-earned beer or cheeky cocktail.

  • Mountain wellness: The spa and wellness centre, SigNatur, is an oasis of calm and relaxation. Start off in the thermal pool before making your way over to the steam bath, herbal and Finnish saunas, Kneipp pool and the various relaxation rooms where you can sip on cooling drinks and refreshing teas. Master masseuses and cosmeticians are also on hand to give you a magical massage or treatment you won't forget in a hurry (fees apply).
