Christmas is a time for reflection, love and shared experiences with loved ones. What could be better than spending the festive season in a picturesque hotel in Austria, surrounded by snow-covered mountain peaks and a festive atmosphere? Experience the best days of the year in our cosy hotel and enjoy culinary delights, wellness, spa and more. We look forward to your visit.
Inviting rooms & festive atmosphere
Cosy warmth envelops you, contemplative Christmas music plays in the background and the aroma of freshly prepared sweet dishes and pastries fills your nose – this and much more awaits you at the 4*S Galtenberg Family & Wellness Resort.
During this special time in winter, the entire hotel shines in festive splendour and makes your Christmas holiday something very special. Our rooms and suites also convey a contemplative Christmas atmosphere: the modern furnishings, combined with traditional decorations and a touch of Christmas, transform each room into a dreamlike accommodation where you can experience relaxing nights and be enchanted by the magnificent view of the snow-covered Tyrolean mountains.
Culinary highlights at Christmas
Christmas is the time for a hearty feast. Look forward to culinary delights at our hotel and enjoy festive menus and delicious sweet and savoury specialities from Austria and Tyrol in particular. Experience a romantic Christmas dinner by candlelight as a couple or a cosy meal together as a family. Forget everyday life and let our experienced kitchen team spoil you.
In the evening, you can round off the day with a cold drink or a hot cup of mulled wine at our bar and in our cosy lounge area. Of course, we also offer a delicious hot chocolate for our younger (and older) guests.
Winter activities & traditional customs
Our festive dishes are not the only way to make your Christmas holiday a very special experience. Take time for activities together and take romantic walks through snow-covered villages and forests during your holiday, take a seat in a cosy carriage on a carriage ride through the idyllic mountain landscape and visit a traditional Christmas market not far from the hotel. We particularly recommend the Christmas market in Rattenberg, the smallest town in Austria.
When the nights get longer in winter, traditional customs in Alpbachtal bring light into the dark hours. Old customs are cultivated and practised as early as Advent. If you are not afraid of the sinister figures who are up to mischief in the villages before Christmas, why not visit a Perchten run, where the spooky fellows are mainly out and about in the Tyrolean lowlands.
Ideal conditions for a sporty Christmas holiday
If you want to be active over the festive period and on holiday, you will find numerous opportunities at our hotel and in the region. Tyrol offers the ideal conditions for a sporty winter holiday: Whether skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing – these and many other winter sports await you right on the doorstep of our hotel. Would you like to spontaneously hit the piste or simply test out the latest equipment? Then let the trained staff at our partner skiCheck advise you and simply hire skis, goggles, helmets and more.
If you prefer indoor sports, we recommend our modern fitness centre and the heated swimming pool in the 7Heaven wellness area.
Pure wellness and relaxation
Whether you spend quiet days on romantic carriage rides and visits to the Christmas market or hurtle down the ski slopes at breakneck speed – enjoy the offers of our wellness hotel afterwards and let your mind wander. Relax with a soothing massage or recharge your batteries in one of our relaxation zones while you enjoy the view of the winter landscape. The panorama can also be experienced in a very special way from our rooftop relax whirlpool, which provides a sense of well-being with 36° C warm water. Sauna fans also get their money’s worth and can relax in the steam sauna, Finnish sauna or infrared cabin.
Especially for adults, we have set up the 7Heaven wellness area on the 7th and 8th floors of our hotel, where you can relax in a peaceful atmosphere. Even in winter, and especially at Christmas time, we don’t neglect wellness – see for yourself and book one of our varied offers.
