Slow Food: Celebrating Good Food and Local Produce

A movement that promotes mindful enjoyment and appreciation of regional, seasonal food is especially important at a time when the fast-food industry often dominates and connections with traditional cuisine and local farming are being lost. That is why baker Krista visits once a week to show guests how bread is made. There is also a wide range of suppliers, from Nockfleisch and white land maize from the Gailtal to meadow eggs from Landskron and fish from Feld am See.

Immerse yourself in a world of relaxation and rejuvenation amid Carinthia’s restorative natural surroundings. The Naturel SPA (8 am–10 pm) features both an indoor pool and a spacious heated outdoor pool. For warmth and relaxation, you can choose from a Finnish sauna, an infrared cabin, a low-temperature sauna (Vitarium) and a panoramic sauna.

Alongside the relaxation areas and sun terrace, you’ll also find a fitness room for your workouts. A wide range of massages and beauty treatments completes the wellness experience, including foot reflexology massage, hot stone massage, singing bowl massage and aromatherapy oil massage (additional charge).

At the SCHÖNLEITN village hotel, a range of retreats brings movement, nature and relaxation together. Choose from a yoga retreat combined with varied walks, an active programme of yoga and climbing, or a focused back yoga retreat, with options to suit your individual needs.

The “Yoga & You” retreat offers a more personal break, giving you time to recharge and unwind. The programme also includes distinctive new formats such as Acrobatic Yoga and a thoughtfully designed yoga retreat with your dog, offering even more variety and memorable experiences surrounded by nature.

You can also book a personalised personal training session, which includes an initial consultation, a needs assessment and a tailored workout (available for an additional charge).

A Cook & Clever nutrition workshop is also available as a complement to your stay (please register in advance).

A modern indoor pool with a children’s pool and a spacious heated outdoor pool welcome you all year round for a swim and a chance to unwind.

Whatever the season, there are varied activities to enjoy in both summer and winter. From Sunday to Friday, the hotel offers a varied programme of activities, which may change depending on the season and occupancy.
