Experience the most sunshine hours in Austria with a holiday at Lake Wörthersee. The hotel is nestled in a picturesque setting, surrounded by the stunning landscape of Carinthia. With the assistance of a university professor, a sanctuary of balance has been created, authentically and harmoniously integrating the four elements right by Lake Wörthersee. The hotel is managed according to the Western theory of elements, as the four elements of earth, fire, water, and air are the origin of all existence, the beginning of all life, and a symbol of health and joy. The Balance has been built into the architecture, design, nutrition, wellness treatments, and lifestyle based on this philosophy. Each of the four elements is dedicated to colour, shape, material, and taste according to traditional European medicine. Lake Wörthersee, known for its crystal-clear water, offers numerous water sports opportunities and invites you to swim, sail, or stand-up paddle. The surrounding mountains and forests provide ideal conditions for hiking, cycling, and nature experiences. Nearby, idyllic places like Velden and Pörtschach, with their charming cafes, boutiques, and cultural highlights, invite exploration. The region is a paradise for nature lovers and those seeking tranquillity. The capital, Klagenfurt, is reachable by car in about 20 minutes.
Be enchanted by the culinary delights at Balance. The cuisine has been awarded multiple times by Gault Millau, À la Carte, and Falstaff, and was among the best in the country in 2020. At the restaurant "la balance", hostess and "freshly cooked" TV chef Andrea Grossmann creates culinary experiences with great finesse. The hotel prioritises high-quality food from the surrounding region and sustainable ingredients. Lake Wörthersee provides excellent fish, and the meat and vegetables often come from the family-owned farms. The hotel is happy to accommodate any food intolerances. At the nostalgic coffee table, indulge in a sweet temptation for the palate with homemade cakes and pastries, along with exquisite coffee and tea specialties in an authentic and nostalgic atmosphere. In the evening bar "4E's", round off a relaxing holiday in an idyllic setting.
