Wellness at a 4-Star Hotel in Austria with Pool

Indoor Pool & Natural Pond –
Pure Lightness

In our Crystal & Garden SPA you’ll find a cozy spot to relax every day: today the pleasantly warm water of the indoor pool, tomorrow the gentle heat of the dress-on sauna, the day after a snug corner with views of the surrounding mountains. Whether you’re swimming your first laps before breakfast in the indoor pool or cooling off in the natural pond after a day of mountain adventures – the invigorating energy of Blausee spring water from the Obersulzbachtal brings lightness and new strength.

Special – then and now

Did you know that Hotel Gassner was the first hotel in the region with an indoor pool? Back in the late 1970s, the Gassner family was already ahead of their time and, during the hotel’s renovation, created not only new rooms but also an indoor pool with sauna – laying the foundation for today’s Crystal & Garden SPA.

Ice bathing

Your hotel with a natural swimming pond in Austria

“I wanted a mountain lake: clear, blue water that makes you want to jump in. Not a public pool with chlorine, and not a pond with algae and tadpoles,” says Sonja Gassner. That’s why she sought out – and found – Austria’s best natural pool builder. Since then, the natural pool has been a little jewel in our Garden SPA. In summer, it invites you to linger with cozy lounge furniture and quiet islands of relaxation. In winter, the pool is unheated but ice-free – perfect for a refreshing dip or mindful ice bathing after the sauna.

Opening hours Crystal & Garden SPA: daily from 07:00 – 19:00
