A Boutique Hotel in Austria

Salzburg's festival tradition, castles and palaces tell one side of the region's story; the landscape tells another. Waterfalls plunge through deep gorges, ice caves lie within the mountains and wild herbs grow in the meadows just outside our door. A guided herb walk is one of the simplest ways to experience it all at close quarters.

Sonnhof is a boutique hotel in Austria's Pongau region, surrounded by a landscape that remains wonderfully wild and authentic.
