Immerse yourself. Switch off. Take a deep breath.
If you visit Upper Austria, you will discover places where time passes a little slower. Places where the scent of wood is in the air, the view sweeps over forests, lakes or mountains - and everything suddenly becomes very simple. Whether in the middle of the Bohemian Forest, on the shores of Lake Wolfgang or in the rolling hills of the Mühlviertel: In these chalets and hideaways, the real combines with the special - and nature becomes a quiet luxury.
Between the Kalkalpen National Park and the Stodertal valley, chalets such as the Dietlgut Natur Resort, Dilly's National Park Chaletdorf and the Almresort Baumschlagerberg invite you to take a real break. Wood meets clean lines, open fires meet starry skies. Those who love the forest will find the perfect balance of naturalness and comfort at Ramenai - the Böhmerwaldlerdorf or the Goiserer Chalet. And if you are looking for a view of the summit, the Seeklause in Bad Goisern or the rustic log cabin in Gosau are just the place for you.
When luxury becomes quiet, space is created for the essentials.
At the Private Spa Villas Geinberg, you can bathe in warm thermal water right next to the natural pond, while exclusive design meets private spa at the INNS Holz Chaletdorf in Schöneben. Particularly unusual: the earth houses of Villa Bergzauber - round, earthy, cosy - or the stylish Chalet Kremstalblickwhere minimalist design meets expansive nature. Fine cuisine and architecture come together at Das Lamprecht in Schärding - a baroque townhouse with gourmet cuisine that shows that luxury can also be historic. And if you want to breathe history, stay at the Villa Flora in Bad Goisern - a lovingly restored historic villa that combines tradition, craftsmanship and modern elegance. Between old walls, fragrant wood and views of the Goisern mountains, you will feel like you've stepped back in time - in no hurry, but with every comfort.
Inspiration can be found where nature is allowed to be a child again.
At the IKUNA nature resort, guests stay in tipi suites under the open sky, while the tree hotel on the treetop path in Kopfing brings adventure directly to the treetops. The chalet village of Blockhausen in the Mühlviertel region stands for craftsmanship and retreat in wood, while the huts at the Au an der Donau campsite surprise with their cosy simplicity. And those who love water will find several favourite places at Mondsee and Wolfgangsee: the flat house Traumstation, the Fischergut Lodge Wolfgangthal or the elegant chalets on the lake - located directly on the shore.
Whether close to nature, romantic or luxurious - the chalets in Upper Austria tell stories of authenticity, tranquillity and closeness to nature. They are retreats for anyone looking for something special - charming, rooted in the region and surprisingly diverse.
