The Apartment...
Our spacious 3rd floor studio apartment and the balcony are south-west facing for bright afternoon and evening sunshine, and we have a fantastic and extensive view down the spectacular Gosau valley, over the grazing pastures, to the nearby Dachstein mountain range and the ski slopes. It has recently been refurbished to a high standard.
The room has two single beds with bedside drawer units and reading lamps. There is a large wardrobe with hanging space and internal shelves for storage.
Two comfortable settees, two small coffee tables, a large sideboard for the TV and DVD player, and a standard lamp with dimmer compliment the lounge area. (Please bring you own DVDs). A dining table and two cushioned dining chairs complete the living area of the room.
A door leads from this room onto our private balcony, where there are two more chairs and a table, plus lights and electric socket. A clothes drier and pegs are also available. After a busy day out and about in the summer this is the place to relax listening to the tinkling of the cowbells and distant church bells, which create a relaxing and memorable atmosphere.
Separated from the main room is our well appointed new kitchen, which is full equipped with two hot plate cooking hobs, a refrigerator with small freezer compartment, microwave, toaster and electric coffee maker. All crockery, glasses, cutlery and kitchen utensils are provided. An iron and ironing board are also available.
The separate bathroom has a bath with overhead shower, washbasin, toilet, shaving point, electric socket and electric heater. There's always a good supply of hot water and the storage heaters always keep the apartment warm and cosy. The whole of the apartment is non-smoking and pet free.
It is situated within the 4-star Sporthotel, a leisure complex, which is maintained to a very high standard throughout. A lift and stairs serve all floors in the private apartment block, close to the apartment owners' own ample parking area. The hotel has a garden (and its own beginners' ski slope in winter), and is surrounded by grazing pastures (in summer) -all just 500m from Gosau village centre where the Tourist Office, banks, Post Office, shops and food store can conveniently be found.
The hotel has a wide range of amenities which are available to our guests. The restaurant offers an extensive menu and a wide ranging buffet style breakfast which can all be used by our guests, although the hotel do ask that prior notice is given. Please pay the hotel directly after any meals taken.
A well stocked bar, with cocktails, is also available. Other amenities include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, a games room and sun beds, which are free for our guests. Also available for a small charge is the use of the indoor tennis court, fitness studio and bike hire. Crazy golf and sun beds are also on hand.
In winter, there are storage facilities in the building for skis and boots. A bus service comes to the hotel to take skiers to and from the ski slopes, 5 and 10 minutes away. Two express covered ski lifts take you to the top of the slopes from where many other ski runs start. It's possible to ski back to the bottom of the ski lifts.
An extensive range of ski equipment can be hired. Langlau skis and boots too. Ski passes can be purchase there.
As well as skiing there are 40 kilometres of Langlau (cross-country tracks) throughout the valley floor. These tracks are carefully maintained by state of the art equipment. Maps showing the routes are available locally in Reception, in the Tourist Office nearby and on websites.
