Holidays in the Lungau at the Gellnwirt – genuine, peaceful and full of life

A stay at the Gellnwirt is not a classic hotel holiday. It is a feeling. You stay right on the market square of Tamsweg – and at the same time in the heart of one of Austria's more unspoilt regions. A few steps out and you are in nature. A few steps back and you are sitting in the inn. In between, everything happens: movement. Calm. Encounters. Flavour. The Salzburg Lungau gives you the space. The Gellnwirt gives you the place to go with it.

Holidays in the
rhythm of the
seasons

The Lungau changes – and that's exactly what makes it special. Each season brings its own rhythm. And you can simply go along with it.

Winter – clear, quiet, genuine

Snow that swallows sounds. Movement that does you good. And a winter that doesn't have to be loud to be special.

Summer – be outdoors, breathe freely

Long trails, clear mountain lakes, fresh air. Summer in the Lungau is movement without pressure – and time that feels like time again.

Tradition & encounters – the real thing

Samson, markets, village life. Here you are not a spectator – but right in the middle of it.

Life in Tamsweg

The quieter seasons – spring & autumn

Less going on. More feeling. The best time for everyone who looks closely and savours consciously.

Holidays as they should be – genuine, peaceful and full of flavour

We don't believe in holidays with a programme. We believe in holidays that simply unfold. In days that begin slowly. In paths you don't have to plan. In moments that stay because they are real.

The Gellnwirt brings together what is often kept apart:

Nature that draws you out
Simplicity that calms you down
Cuisine that grounds you
and an inn that welcomes you with indulgence

This isn't about higher, faster, further.
It's about being authentic, simply breathing, eating better.

On the doorstep – the Lungau region

The Salzburg Lungau is not a place for loud staging. It is a high plateau at over 1,000 metres – with plenty of sun, clear air and a vastness you don't need to explain. You feel it.

Here nature isn't manufactured – it's simply there:

Mountain lakes, clear and cool
Alpine pastures that are still farmed
Trails that aren't overrun

A place for people who want to be outdoors – without pressure.

On the doorstep – Tamsweg

And then there's Tamsweg. A real place. Not a holiday resort. The market square is alive – calm, but steady. Everyday life happens here. Encounters happen here. Here you are not a guest among guests, but simply right in the middle of it. From the Gellnwirt you set off – to the baker, to your favourite farm shop, for a walk, to the market, into the mountains. And you always come back to the inn. That's exactly what makes it special.

love real places more than perfect staging

If you recognise yourself here, it's a good fit.

time for a holiday.

The Lungau doesn't wait for the perfect moment. It's simply there. And perhaps right now is exactly the right time to get out for a few days, breathe deeply and arrive back at yourself.
