Snuggling Up Between Summit Joy and the Sound of Happy Kids
Some places have a special way of lighting up kids’ eyes – while helping parents leave the everyday behind. Hotel Matschner in Ramsau am Dachstein is one of those places. Nestled at the foot of the majestic Dachstein massif, this family-run hotel welcomes you with genuine charm, plenty of space for quality time, and the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation.
Location: Right in the Heart of the Plateau
Ramsau sits on a sunny high plateau in Styria – with sweeping views of the peaks and direct access to mountain adventures. Hotel Matschner is right in the village center, perfect for families who love short distances. Whether it’s the playground, cross-country trails or hiking paths – just step outside and you’re in the middle of nature. The Dachstein-Schladming region is a true paradise for families who love spending time outdoors.
Rooms: Freshly Renovated and Perfect for Families
In 2024, all rooms were completely refurbished – and you can feel the difference right away. Bright colors, natural materials and a warm, welcoming atmosphere make every stay extra comfortable. Ideal for families: spacious family rooms with separate sleeping areas, stylish suites and apartments – many with balconies and views that instantly put you in vacation mode.
A little bonus: each room comes with a capsule coffee machine (the first round is on the house) and a complimentary bottle of Thalheimer mineral water.
Food: Local, Delicious, and Laid-Back
The food? Absolutely delicious. Your day starts with a generous breakfast buffet packed with everything little and big food lovers could wish for. In the afternoon, there’s a coffee and cake buffet, and in the evening, a freshly prepared 6-course dinner with choices of meat, fish, or vegetarian dishes. Kids have their own menus, and special requests (like allergies) are handled with ease and care.
Wellness: Relaxation for Parents, Splash Time for Kids
A real highlight: direct access to the public Dachsteinbad. Just slip on your bathrobe, walk down the hallway – and you’re in the indoor pool with a kids’ area, sauna zone and fitness room. It’s perfect for grey days or winding down after a day in the mountains. While the little ones splash around, parents can relax – that’s what family balance looks like on holiday.
What’s Around: Full-On Family Adventure
The region around the hotel is made for little explorers and big nature lovers. In summer, adventure awaits on Rittisberg – with a fairy tale trail, summer toboggan run, and climbing park. Family-friendly hikes and a visit to the Erlebnisalm round out the fun. And once the first snow falls, the area turns into a winter wonderland for all ages. The slopes are great for families, the cross-country trails are wide, and the options are endless – even for beginners.
