Wellness in Austria
Thermal spas, wellness hotels, Biohotels, health resorts
Introduction
A warm thermal pool below snow-covered peaks, a sauna looking out over a lake, a spa behind historic walls: wellness in Austria is closely bound up with landscape, architecture and atmosphere. The choice of wellness hotels ranges from small retreats to spacious thermal resorts.
Organic hotels combine wellness facilities such as massages, saunas and quiet rooms with certified organic food. Cure hotels often focus on medical treatments, while spa hotels make a feature of striking architecture. On an Alpine wellness break you can look out from a heated outdoor pool across peaks and valleys. And among the traditional treatments is Kneipp therapy, the alternating warm and cold water applications developed by Sebastian Kneipp.
