From Exploration to Relaxation on Your Active Holiday in Salzburg
After an eventful day around Sonnhof – whether hiking through the Liechtenstein Gorge, visiting Hohenwerfen Castle, or a family trip to the Geisterberg – well-earned recovery awaits at Sonnhof. Our wellness area, with infinity pool, sauna landscape, and spa, invites you to let the day's impressions settle in quiet comfort.
This is how Sonnhof brings together the best of both worlds for your active holiday in Salzburg: exploring the diversity of Salzburgerland by day, then enjoying the warm waters of the infinity pool with views over the Pongau mountains by evening, or unwinding completely in the organic herbal sauna. A stay at Sonnhof by Vitus Winkler is thus far more than a base for excursions – it is a destination in its own right, one where guests are glad to linger.
