Serene Austrian Alps retreat with a spa & optional ski pass

Reconnect with nature at a rural bolthole in Austria’s idyllic Zillertal Valley, with fresh regional cuisine and an enchanting panoramic spa - includes breakfast, dinner, spa access, optional ski passes, and more

• Idyllic alpine abode: Immersed in the forest-cloaked, snow-capped mountains of Austria’s renowned Zillertal Valley, Natur Resort Rissbacher makes for an utterly restorative alpine retreat. An ode to its enchanting surroundings, this family-run resort offers traditional Tyrolean hospitality with a contemporary and sustainable twist: step inside for ultra-modern amenities and delightful regional touches, or venture out to the hotel’s very own farm, herb garden and apple orchard. And with endless mountain pursuits at your fingertips, the hotel is a box-ticking bolthole at any time of year.

• Feel-good food: Wake up to a wonderful homemade breakfast each morning, filled with fragrant fresh produce and regional delights that can be savoured al fresco in warm weather. Later on, savour light bites and scrumptious desserts in the afternoon, before tucking into a fabulous five-course dinner, where the finest seasonal, organic and locally-grown ingredients have pride of place.

• Spa with a view: A world of alpine wellness awaits you at the Sky Spa, a spectacular rooftop oasis with sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Gaze out at the magical mountains from the steam bath, Finnish and bio saunas, before melting into the magnificent sky pool for 360-views out across the valley. You’ll find another pool and tranquil sundeck in the hotel’s lovely garden, plus a sprinkling of soothing relaxation rooms for post-spa snoozing.
