Holidays & Special Spring Moments

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.

Moments of Flavor Between Mountain & Table

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.

Time for Yourself & Time Together

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.

Nature at the Dachstein

The breathtaking beauty of blooming alpine meadows, coupled with the invigorating crispness of the mountain air and the gentle embrace of mild spring temperatures, offers an idyllic environment for outdoor enthusiasts. 

World Heritage

Cultural excursions without peak-season crowds: explore Hallstatt, the former imperial town of Bad Ischl, and many smaller villages surrounding Gosau - places where history, architecture, and everyday alpine life come together.

Culinary Spring

With the arrival of spring, cuisine in the Salzkammergut becomes lighter, fresher, and deeply regional. Seasonal ingredients, wild herbs, and honest flavors define the spring kitchen at Vitalhotel Gosau - uncomplicated, thoughtful, and rooted in place.

Wellness & Balance

The spa area, indoor pool, soothing massages, archery in the garden, and long, unhurried walks create space for recovery and renewed energy - a balanced mix of movement, relaxation, and quiet moments that let body and mind reset naturally.
