Why is glockna a truly special design motel in Austria?

With glockna, Helmut and Nicole have created something that comes straight from the heart – and you can really feel that. In the breakfast basket, which you’ll find outside your door in the morning if you wish. In the way the team interacts with you. In the details that others overlook. Anyone who has been here once knows: behind it all are people who genuinely care about your well-being.

Have you had a look at our BergHaus mountain lodges, suites, and double rooms yet? Every line, every material, every view has been carefully chosen. Minimalist, yet warm. Modern, yet down-to-earth. glockna is integrated into the landscape – yet still stands out. When you arrive, you’ll immediately see that it wasn’t built to impress. But to last.

Motorcyclists who love hairpin bends. Families who want to find space to breathe together. Couples who finally have time for each other again. Silence seekers who want to escape the everyday hustle. glockna doesn’t have a target group – it has guests. People who are seeking real experiences and know that they can’t be forced. They have to grow organically.

There are pools – and then there’s our pool. Warm water, crisp mountain air, and the peaks of the Hohe Tauern range before your eyes. No rush, no stress. Just you, the water, and the mountains. Once you’ve taken a dip, you’ll understand why we don’t need to say much more about it.

Words simply don’t do justice to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road. 36 hairpin bends, 2,504 metres above sea level, views that make you forget where you wanted to go. Almost a million people come here every year – motorcyclists, convertible enthusiasts, and road cyclists. And glockna is right at the heart of it. Not just nearby. But right there. It doesn’t get any better than this.

300 peaks over 3,000 metres high. 342 glaciers. 551 mountain lakes. The Hohe Tauern National Park is one of the largest natural areas in the Alps – and glockna lies right at its heart. The moment you step outside, you’re enveloped in a silence that feels like a holiday for your mind. In air that smells like freedom. In a natural setting that reminds you of what really matters.

We don’t cook just for our guests’ sake – we cook for the sheer pleasure of it. Local produce, seasonal dishes, honest cooking without any frills. A breakfast basket filled with homemade specialities outside your door in the morning. The restaurant with mountain views in the evening – for guests, locals, and anyone else who knows where to find good food after 36 hairpin bends. People who just pop in for a coffee and a slice of cake are just as welcome as people who stay a while longer.

We don’t want glockna to be a place where you simply check in and check out. We want it to be a place where people gather. Bike nights at the Event Garage, sundowner sessions by the pool, road-trip weekends with guided tours – there’s always something happening here. And even when nothing’s planned, something still develops. Because that’s what happens when the right people come together in the right place.

Where does the national park begin? You’re already right at its heart. Open the door in the morning and you’re in it – the silence, the murmur of the Fuscher Ache river, the vastness of the Hohe Tauern range. No transfers, no detours, no planning. Just step outside. Nature is already waiting.

Fusch tells its story like an open book. Here, every path, every house, and every spring has a story to tell – of the people who have lived, worked, and sought peace here. Bad Fusch, home to the Fürstenquelle spring, has been a place of healing and rejuvenation since the 15th century. Hiking through the woods, forest bathing in the fresh mountain air, savouring the silence – here, you’ll find things that are so hard to come by anywhere else.
