Ferienhaus für 8 Personen in Bad Goisern

Bad Goisern is a few minutes drive from the Unesco World Heritage Site of the Halstatt-Dachstein Cultural Landscape, Bad Ischl - the famous spa town beloved by the Kaiser. Bad Goisern is approximately one hour drive from Salzburg airport and 2 hours drive from Munich. The large ski resort of Gosau/Dachstein West is ca. 20 minutes drive away. Bad Goisern is accessible by cheap and reliable public transport (airport bus from Salzburg airport and by 4 hour train ride from Vienna). For those who are fit, the property is a 10-15 uphill walk from the village, otherwise a rental car is advisable.

Haus Mirabelle overlooks the Goisertal valley and the surrounding wild meadows. Haus Mirabelle is a calming haven, the only noise which you may hear is the occasional ring of the nearby cattle bells. Guests usually comment on the restorative calm of the house and surrounding area and enjoy the numerous outdoor pursuits. The property is ideal for group holidays, families with children, keen skiers, mountain bikers and hikers.

The chalet has been recently revamped, (August 2007), bringing the property up to date with modern amenities. Haus Mirabelle is a detached house with garage and entrance on the ground floor and the living area upstairs all on one level. The bedrooms and the living room have far-reaching views of the countryside.

There is a garden with a terrace where you can enjoy BBQs in the summer and the outside sauna (try rolling in the snow afterwards if you are brave enough in the Winter!). To help to relax even more, there are a variety of healers and therapists who live locally.

The Dachstein / Salzkammergut area provides a balance between sporting activities, cultural pursuits, rest and relaxation.

Summer

You can enjoy a variety of activities from hiking in the mountains, the annual mountain biking rally in July and the music and café culture of Bad Ischl and Salzburg. Most people value the peace and tremendous natural beauty of the countryside and the opportunity to get fit/relax in these surroundings. There are cable car trips to be taken, the famous Café Zauner of Bad Ischl – the confectioner to the Kaiser and spas to be enjoyed.

Bad Ischl was the Summer residence of the Kaiser Franz Joseph and where he took his young Emperess to woo her - such is the natural beauty and romance of the region. This famous spa town boasts a good theatre, museums, concert halls, restaurants and café. In Austrian and German culture, the surrounding lakes of Wolfgang See occupy a special place in literature and music and are short drive away by car offering water sports and bathing.

If you want to up the ante, Salzburg is only 1 hour away and in July hosts the famous 'Salzburger Festspiele' - the opera and music festival.

Winter

This area is transformed into a wonderland during the Winter season with over 8 meters of snow in 2006! Skiers will not be disappointed by the resorts of Gosau / Dachstein West, which are accessible by ski bus from Bad Goisern. For those who love the challenge of cross-country skiing, there is also a trail in Bad Goisern, taking you through some stunning countryside.

If you fancy a day off skiing, there is Winter walking in the mountains where you can stop off for a hearty lunch at one of the mountain refuges or even take the toboggan downhill home! Christmas and New Year are particularly special in Austria, with Christmas markets with traditional food (and cakes!) and the sense of Austrian cosiness, 'Gemütlichkeit'
