Spring in Austria’s alpine regions is shaped by meaningful occasions and long-standing traditions. Whether it’s a romantic getaway around Valentine’s Day, relaxed Easter holidays, local spring customs such as traditional May celebrations, or colorful flower festivals that mark the season’s peak - spring brings together nature and culture. Extended weekends around Ascension Day and Pentecost offer the perfect opportunity for a short mountain escape. More time to unwind, fewer crowds, and a slower pace make spring an ideal season for a refreshing break in the Austrian Alps.

Spring brings a special kind of flavor to Austria’s alpine regions. Together with our local guide Betty, guests set out on gentle herb walks through the awakening landscape around Gosau - mindful, regional, and at an unhurried pace. What’s discovered along the way later finds its way onto the plate: light spring cuisine focused on local ingredients and honest, natural flavors. The day comes to a relaxed close with time in the wellness area or quiet moments outdoors, surrounded by nature. It’s a kind of enjoyment that doesn’t rush and stays with you long after.

Spring is the season to set your own pace. Whether you’re traveling solo for a personal reset, enjoying a focused workation in a quiet alpine setting, spending quality time on a family getaway, or planning a short break with friends - at Vitalhotel Gosau, shared experiences and personal downtime coexist naturally. Between time outdoors, peaceful retreat spaces, and moments spent together, there’s room for whatever matters most right now: connection, concentration, recovery, or the simple luxury of doing nothing at all.
