Multifaceted natural beauty of Upper Austria

The federal state of Upper Austria, located in the north of Austria, offers an impressive variety of nature from the hilly Mühlviertel to the alpine Pyhrn-Priel region via the world-famous lake landscape in the Salzkammergut. In the centre of this scenery, in picturesque Bad Goisern, our Vivea 4* Hotel Bad Goisern - a place of relaxation and well-being.

Where nature, culture and enjoyment merge

a perfect mix

It is the combination of breathtaking scenery, living traditions and unique cuisine that makes Upper Austria such a special holiday destination. The area around the Attersee, Wolfgangsee and Hallstätter See lakes is known far beyond the borders for its beauty.

Hallstadt has become famous for its narrow alleyways and picturesque house fronts. It is also home to the oldest salt mine in the world. In Gosau, a beautiful mountain lake with views of the Dachstein provides the starting point for hikes. Bad Goisern, on the other hand, has a long tradition of craftsmanship and is famous for its Goiserer mountain boots.

Winter magic in the Salzkammergut

Peace, adventure & lots of nature

Crackling snow underfoot, clear winter air and a panorama that invites you to take a deep breath - the Salzkammergut also shows its most beautiful side in winter. Whether it's a quiet winter or snowshoe hike, perfectly groomed cross-country ski trails or speedy skiing in the Dachstein West ski region - everyone will find their winter happiness here.

A horse-drawn sleigh ride through the snow-covered landscape? A brisk toboggan ride? Or simply a hot cup of tea with a view of the mountains?

It's all here. And all genuine.
