Adults Only Wellness in Hochkönig: Peace Above the Rooftops of Maria Alm

There are days when a bathrobe is the only sensible dress code.

At the very top of the HOCHKÖNIGIN, the TIARA SPA was made for exactly those days: sophisticated design, views in every direction, a relaxation pool with integrated whirlpool, Finnish panoramic sauna, bio sauna, peaceful relaxation rooms and sun terraces overlooking the mountains.

At the tea bar, something warm is waiting. In the Prosecco fridge, something with a little more sparkle.

We call that balance.

And there is something else that makes an Adults Only wellness holiday in Hochkönig rather special here.

The HOCHKÖNIGIN isn't a traditional adults-only hotel. Nor do we want it to be. Families are just as much a part of our hotel as couples, friends and guests looking for a few quiet days away.

That's why we have created different spaces for different kinds of holidays.

Family time can be wonderfully lively.

And time for two wonderfully quiet.

Movement That Feels Good – Body and Mind

Twice a week, yoga is included in our activity programme, alongside sessions such as Yoga Meets Spine, YI-MOVE, Strong & Flexible Joints and other activities designed around mobility, strength and body awareness.

Prefer the mountains to the yoga mat?

Step outside.

Forests, meadows and hiking trails begin just a few steps from the hotel. Join one of our guided hikes – perhaps an early walk to the Peace Chapel, a sunrise hike or a tour to the Hermitage above Saalfelden.

And then there is forest bathing.

Despite the name, no swimwear is required.

At its heart, forest bathing is wonderfully simple: slow down, put your phone away, walk without counting kilometres and pay attention to what is around you. The sounds, scents, light and changing landscape create distance from the constant stream of everyday life, while gentle movement comes naturally.

Around Maria Alm, finding a forest isn't exactly difficult.

QUEEN SPA: Where Heat Gets Its Moment

After a few hours outdoors, the QUEEN SPA takes over.

Swim in the infinity pool with mountain views, settle into the whirlpool or head indoors to the pool, steam bath, bio sauna or Finnish sauna. There are indoor relaxation areas for quieter moments and sun terraces with loungers and daybeds when the weather is too good to stay inside.

Three times a week, sauna becomes something more.

Our guided sauna rituals combine carefully selected fragrances, herbs and hydrolates with music, storytelling and different towel techniques. Each ritual has its own character, turning a simple sauna session into a carefully composed experience.

Afterwards, there is nothing on the programme.

Not even looking particularly relaxed.

Longevity: When Health Becomes a Luxury

Longevity has become one of the defining themes in modern wellness.

For us, the interesting question isn't how to stay young forever. It is how we can support health, resilience and quality of life for as long as possible.

At the HOCHKÖNIGIN, this approach is medically supported in cooperation with Dr Gems from Maria Alm.

Selected treatments include the Mayers Cocktail, Immun Boost, Detox Drip and Hämolaser Treatment. Depending on the treatment, the focus ranges from vitamins and micronutrients to immune support and regeneration during periods of physical or mental strain.

Guests who would like to explore the subject in greater depth can choose our dedicated Longevity Days in Hochkönig. Throughout the year, we also host retreats focusing on yoga, sound healing and mindset.

Because health is far too valuable for quick wellness promises.

Healthy Food Should Taste Really Good

Regeneration doesn't stop at the spa door.

High-quality organic produce, vegan dishes and a mindful, respectful approach to animal products all play an important role in our kitchen.

Not because restriction sounds particularly virtuous.

Because good ingredients, conscious cooking and genuine pleasure belong together.

And Adults Only?

That continues at the table.

BERGLIEBE is our dedicated restaurant area for adults. If a table is available when you arrive, it becomes yours for breakfast and dinner throughout your stay.

The first coffee of the morning and dinner in the evening already know where to find you.

It's remarkable how little organising a good holiday actually needs.

Why Autumn and Wellness Work So Well Together

Towards the end of August, Maria Alm begins to change.

The intense summer heat softens, mornings become fresher and by September, hiking and wellness in Hochkönig make a particularly good pair.

Head into the mountains in the morning or join a guided hike. Afterwards, choose a sauna ritual, the infinity pool or quiet time in the TIARA SPA. On another day, start with yoga and leave the afternoon completely free.

September and October bring quieter hiking trails, clearer mountain air and the first autumn colours to the forests around Maria Alm.

And if the weather decides to send a little rain?

A bathrobe has never asked for sunshine.

Our Autumn Indulgence in Hochkönig, Me Time wellness break and Longevity Days in Hochkönig are all designed for exactly this kind of escape.

Families Welcome. Peace and Quiet, Too.

And this brings us to something that makes the HOCHKÖNIGIN rather special.

You don't have to choose between a family-friendly hotel in the Austrian Alps and a wellness retreat where adults can genuinely unwind.

Families have their own world in the FAMILY SPA. Adults can retreat to the TIARA SPA, enjoy wellness time in the QUEEN SPA and, with BERGLIEBE, even have a dedicated adults-only setting for breakfast and dinner.

Family holidays are allowed to be lively. A couples' getaway is allowed to be wonderfully quiet.

Parents can enjoy time together as a family and still disappear for a few peaceful hours. Couples find genuine places to retreat without having to stay in a traditional adults-only hotel. And friends?

They'll probably already be on their way to the spa.

Not everyone needs the same thing to relax.

We think a truly good hotel should have room for exactly that.
