Welcome to Berghotel Presslauer

Summer. Outdoors
The Carnic Alps before your eyes and Carinthian joie de vivre in your heart: in summer, hikes start right at the hotel, the natural swimming pond lies right in front of it, Nassfeld Golf is 5 km away and Lake Pressegg about 20 minutes by car.

Winter. Fun
Snow, sun and fun for young and old: the toboggan run is right next to the hotel, cleared winter walking paths start at the hotel, and the valley station of the Millennium-Express in the Nassfeld ski area is 7 km away, by car or on the free ski bus.

Away from the peak holiday season
Early summer and September in the Gail Valley
In early summer and in September you experience the Gail Valley away from the peak holiday season. In June the Wulfenia flowers on the Gartnerkofel, a protected ice-age plant that, according to nassfeld.at, grows in this form nowhere else in the world. Hikes start right at the hotel, and after the tour the natural swimming pond in front of the house awaits you.
Berghotel Presslauer is open in summer from mid-May until the first weekend in October, so late May and September are part of the season. In early summer and autumn 2027 a hotel room costs from €66 per person per night with breakfast.
For golfers, the 18-hole Nassfeld Golf course is 5 km from the hotel, and Lake Pressegg is about 20 minutes away by car.

Our family
Family. Presslauer
We run our Berghotel as a family. The house comes with a small farm with ponies, sheep, goats, cattle and pigs, a vegetable garden and our own forest, whose wood heats the hotel. Children are welcome to feed the animals, help muck out and ride along on the tractor.
