Wander. Wonder. Be together: an autumnal holiday.

Nature’s canvas, cozy vibes & soulful moments: Autumn in the Salzkammergut reveals its most creative side. With fine cuisine, small adventures, and plenty of space for relaxation, your day at the Post am See becomes a memorable escape.
7:30 AM - Rise early. Breathe deeply. Enjoy together.
With or without kids - starting the day early is always worth it.
The dew glistens. The mountains lie still. The Salzkammergut is slowly awakening.
Mum starts the day with a gentle yoga session. Calm. Clear. Completely with herself.
At the same time, the breakfast at the Belétage fills with the scent of the morning: crispy pastries . Fresh egg dishes straight from the kitchen counter. Hot coffee.
And for the kids? A glass of cool Latella.
That's how mornings taste - relaxed, warm, and a view you won't forget.
10:00 AM - Autumn. Family. Adventure.
This is what a perfect mountain morning feels like: golden forests, fresh air, glowing trails.
The cable car takes you up the Feuerkogel in comfort - even free of charge for children under six. At the top: directly to the summit cross, without a long hike. The view? Simply breathtaking.
Then the little adventure begins: the Karst-Dolinen adventure trail leads through a landscape straight out of a fairy tale - gorges, hollows, hidden natural art.
The whole family becomes a team of explorers in the mountain pine labyrinth. Curious, free, and happily a little lost.
Afterwards: a break at the Kranabethhütte.
Fresh Kaiserschmarrn. Hot cocoa. Maybe a beer for the grown ups. The scent of forest in the air, a panorama like a painting.
This is nature's gallery.
1:30 PM - Lakeside Moments & Nature Happiness
Back in the valley. The lake is still. Almost mystical.
Golden leaves, crisp air, and that quiet feeling only water brings.
Time for a walk along the banks of the Traunsee. Collecting leaves. Find chestnuts. Discover small natural treasures - it's the simple things (young and old) kids love most.
A quick toe-dip into the lake? Maybe.
Or simply: sit. watch. breathe.
3 PM - Spa Time & Story Moments
After all those little adventures - it's time to slow down. Mum treats herself to a herbal stamp massage in the Relax & Glow Lounge.
Warm stamps with alpine herbs glide gently over the skin. Tension melts away. Thoughts grow quiet. The scent? Like a walk through the autumn forest - calming, cozy, real.
Meanwhile?
Pool time for the kids. Or storytime with Dad - on soft cushions, in the relaxation area, with your favourite story.
Up in the Rooftop BergSPA: Alpine tranquillity meets urban jungle.
4:30 PM - Guest Experience: Smoking fish by the lake
Experience authentic Salzkammergut tradition - with style.
At the small lake harbour at the sister hotel Das Traunsee, the kitchen team will show you how to smoke fish: freshly caught fish, slowly smoked in a traditional smoker - just as it has been done for generations. Accompanied by a cool drink, the smell of beechwood smoke and fresh lake air - and a view of the Traunstein.
The flavour? Really. Smoky. Unforgettable.
A true sensory experience.
6 PM - Autumn Flavour Palettes
Seasonal dishes in sharing style await you on the Belétage - refined, reduced, creatively interpreted, to enjoy together.
Large and small plates alternate - so everyone can taste what they like.
A glass of wine. Conversation. Connection. Plus that special light that autumn brings with it.
8:15 pm - Lights out. Stars on.
Slowly, calm returns. Maybe a game of Jenga in the poetry room.
Or a quiet moment with a story.
And when the kids go to bed? Bring your favourite drink to the room.
Sit out on the balcony. Look out at the lake. Just breathe.
Stars above. Calm below. And nothing left to do.
We can't wait to meet your here.
