Active & wellness hotel in Austria
Active orwellness holiday?
A question that is absolutely superfluous at the Falkenstein. You can have it all at the 4-star hotel nearby the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier: Action AND relaxation. Austrian tradition AND modern lifestyle.
While all the possibilities between mountain and valley are open to you, body, mind and soul follow the temperament of nature – on mountain bike tours amidst magnificent landscapes, paragliding with the Falkenstein boss himself or on action-packed skiing adventures. Skiing is even possible from October to June in the Zell am See Saalbach Hinterglemm ski area. The only question that remains is where to relax in the wellness area afterwards.

The Falkenstein on tripadvisorNice, family run hotel with excellent wellness and services. Great location, just few minutes by car from ski slopes and lifts to Kitzsteinhorn glacier.

It was really amazing stay for us. The staff is helpful and kind, breakfast tasty with everything you need, they make you fresh eggs. Dinner absolutely delicious for 35€ (appetizer, salad bar, soup, main course and dessert) I do not eat meat so they made me veggie version (or fish).
Room was clean and cosy, wellness great with saunas, pool and gym.
Location for skying 👌🏻👌🏻

We had a wonderful 3 nights here. The food was excellent, particularly the Grill Party on the last night and fantastic breakfasts every day. Spacious rooms, wonderful indoor and outdoor pools, gym and table tennis. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We would like to return for a ski holiday, thank you!

We stayed at Das Falkenstein for a short ski holiday in February 2024. The hotel is simply terrific in every respect – great food, fantastic staff, excellent facilities and an understated stylish ambience. There are plenty of places to eat in Kaprun but in reality we wished we’d booked the half board deal because the Falkenstein’s restaurant is absolutely excellent. A five course menu changes every night with lots of options to choose from and costs €35 which is terrific value for locally-sourced food prepared to a very high standard indeed. It works out even better value if you book half board.
The hotel is located at the upper end of Kaprun, less than a 10 minute bus ride to the gondola up to the Kitzsteinhorn glacier. Kaprun high street and the Maiskogel are a similar bus ride away.
We can highly recommend Das Falkenstein and look forward to staying again in future.
