Slow down before the holidays.

A place where the mind clears and everyday life takes a break. Quiet moments by the lake, design that inspires, nature that slows you down. Pre-holiday vibes for anyone wanting to escape for a moment without missing out.
A soft pre-holiday break.
December has two faces: outside it gets colder, quieter, clearer. Inside it gets busier. Appointments, evenings, dates, "We should see each other before...".
Sometimes the pre-Christmas period feels less like candlelight and more like a sprint.
And this is exactly when a phase begins at Lake Traunsee that is different. Quieter. More intimate. Between 8 and 23 December, the lake belongs to those who want to get out of the city - but not out of life. People like you: close to nature, creative, open, ready for a bit of space.
Urban mind. Lakeside reset.
No crowds, no obligations, no pre-Christmas rush. Just clear winter air, a quiet lake and a house that welcomes you like an inspiring retreat. Architecture with soul. Rooms that breathe. Design that tells stories. Nature that immediately brings you down. A place that feels like a long and conscious exhale.
Morning rituals, new energy.
Start your day in a different rhythm. A short flow on the yoga mat in the morning. Or a round of Breathwork - awake, clear, connected. Then breakfast in the Belétage, warm light, a view of the water, regional products.
Out there. Minimal. Inspiring.
You might be drawn out in the morning. A walk along the peninsula. The colours, the silence, the mountains that seem mystical in winter. Perhaps a detour to Ebensee to the "Wave" or a stop at a small gallery in the region. Everything close, everything easy, everything without pressure. Inspiration just around the corner.
Creative downtime mode.
In the afternoon, there's room for a nap in the RooftopBERGSPA with a view of the lake, a spontaneous treatment in the Relax & Glow Lounge, a hot drink in the Belétage, a few snaps with this very special winter atmosphere. Or simply a few pages in the journal while it slowly gets darker outside. Moments that spark something.
Nights in slow motion.
It gets cosy in the evening. Sharing kitchen, good drinks, conversations that become easy when the day has been quiet. No dress code, no fixed times - just the feeling of being in the right place at the right time. Easy evenings, relaxed atmosphere.
December doesn't have to start out loud. Sometimes a short escape is enough to get back into balance. Clear thoughts. Slow moments. Lake energy on low volume.
