Summer in the Viehhofen Region

A mountain holiday is pure soul food. Sipping a spritz in the sunshine or that very first coffee on the summit – both have their charm. But here, it’s not just about hiking. Archery, tennis, mini golf and so much more are waiting for you. You don’t have to choose – just enjoy it all. And when you’re ready to relax, our natural pool is the perfect spot to float and refresh.

Right in the middle of a mountain paradise: in no time you’re in Zell am See, ready to dive into the lake or try a round of stand-up paddling. Around the lake, countless hiking trails lead you up the peaks with breathtaking views of the Großglockner. Hiking holidays deluxe! And if you want to swap two feet for two wheels, the Saalbach-Hinterglemm Bikepark is calling. Cool e-bikes can be rented through our trusted partner – just let us know, and we’ll be happy to assist.

Your holiday has no limits: mindful meditation & yoga, playful energy in the calisthenics park, or animal adventures with Julia’s Viehhof. Lake Zell is just a 10-minute drive away and offers refreshing dips, while countless excursion spots and attractions guarantee no one gets bored. Everything is possible on your summer holiday at brandgut!

Our tip

Powered by your own two feet, make your way from brandgut up to the plateau near our brandalm: after about an hour, you’ll reach a truly special place. At the top, a small bench awaits – and a view that rewards every step. A quiet favorite spot and the perfect starting point for further hikes. Our horses love it up here too, spending their summer days grazing on the meadow.

Mondays

Every Monday, creativity takes over — and we glow with joy right to our fingertips. Together with Julia, simple materials turn into little heartfelt pieces. Look forward to painting candles, designing stones, shaping hay figures, baking together, mixing bath salts and much more. Please register 24 hours in advance.

Fridays

Your host Julia will take you up to the mountain pasture by car every Friday in summer (by arrangement up to 24 hours in advance). A breathtaking view awaits you there. You can then set off on the picturesque hike to the Stablberg hut. There you will find a cozy snack station where you can make yourself comfortable. The way back to the brandgut takes you along an idyllic hiking trail without any steep climbs, so you can enjoy the relaxed round tour to the full.

Yoga

Donnerstag ist Flow-Tag im brandgut. Immer dann lädt Katharina zum Yoga in unseren neuen Flowroom ein – mit viel Gefühl, einer Prise Leichtigkeit und dem Blick nach innen (und manchmal auch auf die Berge). Egal ob Sonnengruß-Profi oder herabschauender Neuling – Katharina holt dich genau da ab, wo du gerade stehst. Hier darfst du ankommen, durchatmen, aufglühen.

Meditations

Twice a week, host Julia invites guests to meditate at the new KupferSpa. During the morning meditation, Julia ensures that you gather enough strength to start the day with a smile. A smile that ignites your inner glow and brings your body and soul into harmony.

Bike

Don’t keep your feet still!

Did you know that Austria’s largest bike region is just a stone’s throw away? Over 80 kilometers of downhill trails are shred-ready, learn-to-ride parks await kids and beginners and (e-)mountain bikers won’t manage to ride all the tours even in two weeks. You bet!

For leisurely bike excursions, there is also the scenic promenade on Lake Zell and flat cycle paths through small villages around Maishofen. Here you can cruise along relaxed, level and easy on the calves and treat yourself to an ice cream along the way before diving into the refreshing lake. E-bikes can be rented through our trusted partner.

Hiking

Don’t keep your feet still!

When you put on your hiking boots after breakfast, you’re practically at the starting point of your tour. Because from the brandgut, you have plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding mountains. You will find a leisurely circular route here as well as challenging day tours to Saalbach, Leogang or the Schmittenhöhe in Zell am See.

If you prefer to cover your vertical meters by cable car, you can reach one of over 10 lifts in just a few minutes by car, which will take you directly up to the most beautiful peaks in the region.

Time for a par-tea
