Hotel Der Waldhof, a 4-star wellness hotel in Zell am See, has been run by the Loferer family for over seven generations. Located near the Schmittenhöhe mountain, the resort offers a 900 m² wellness area with separate family and adult sections. Guests can enjoy views of 30 summits over 3000 meters, including Grossglockner and Kitzsteinhorn.

Spacious Family Accommodations

Junior suites (41 m²) feature a living room with a double bed, seating area, and separate children's bedroom. Rooms include TV, mini-safe, mini-bar, balcony, and free Wi-Fi. Soundproofed rooms with hypoallergenic bedding ensure comfort.

Gourmet Dining Options

The breakfast buffet offers fresh pastries, homemade spreads, fruit juices, and hot waffles. Weekly wine tastings in the in-house cellar feature top global wines. Themed dinner buffets include Italian evenings and barbecue nights.

Extensive Wellness Facilities

The wellness area includes Finnish saunas, steam baths, infrared cabins, and whirlpools. A family spa features textile saunas and relaxation rooms, while the adult-only nude area offers privacy. Outdoor sunbathing lawns and a fitness room complement the facilities.

Convenient Mountain Access

Hotel Der Waldhof is a 15-minute walk from Zell am See train station and Lake Zell. The Schmittenhöhebahn valley station is accessible via a ski path behind the hotel. Nearby landmarks include the Ferry Porsche Congress Center (1 km) and Casino Zell am See (1 km).

“This family-centric property stands out for its impressive all-inclusive offering and dedicated kids' facilities; I particularly like the underground tunnel connecting buildings, granting children a sense of adventure. The wellness area seems thoughtfully designed, with separate spaces catering to both families and adults seeking quiet time. With its proximity to the Schmittenhöhe mountain and ski slopes, it's easy to see why this hotel is a hit with active families.”
