Dachsteinkönig – Familux Resort

A fairy-tale winter landscape is simply part of any family vacation in the Alps, and in Gosau, it’s elevated to new heights by the majestic Dachstein Mountains: 140 kilometers of ski slopes and 50 kilometers of perfectly groomed cross-country trails—with access right behind the hotel—are sure to thrill all winter sports enthusiasts—the nearest ski lift is located directly across from the hotel. Skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or conviviality at a mountain hut—every pursuit is readily within reach. A particularly enchanting family excursion is a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the silent landscape.

New Luxury Chalets

The resort’s premium accommodations have been expanded to encompass eleven new, two-story luxury chalets that afford families enhanced privacy and comfort. These exclusive units combine alpine charm with modern amenities, including a private fitness area, a two-story play area for little adventurers, and a private pool heated year-round. Natural materials, warm colours, and discreet climate control ensure a thoroughly comfortable living experience. With these new highlights, available from mid-December, the resort impressively reaffirms its status as one of Europe’s leading family hotels.

Space to Thrive

Even a children’s hotel can meet exacting aesthetic standards—the Dachsteinkönig - Familux Resort has made this its mission. This family paradise comprises 105 suites, each furnished with natural materials and numerous thoughtful, family-friendly details. Every accommodation category includes a dedicated children’s room, while single and double rooms have been deliberately omitted.

Family First

The Dachsteinkönig - Familux Resort offers every conceivable luxury for your family vacation, including a 2,000 m² indoor play area with a movie theater, soft play area, bowling alley, gym, and go-kart track. Here, there’s fun and entertainment for the little ones as well as relaxing retreats for the grown-ups. Twenty trained staff members lovingly care for babies as young as seven days old and offer an age-appropriate programme for children up to 16 years old. The highlights of the swimming pool area are the children’s pool and the 100-metre-long inner-tube water slide; the spacious wellness and sauna area is reserved for parents. During the summer, an outdoor activity programme unfolds in the new outdoor area, featuring an adventure playground, a bounce house, a climbing tower, trampolines, a children’s vehicle course, an e-trial track and a petting zoo. In winter, guests are drawn outdoors by a ski slope for young beginners in the hotel’s own garden and by the ski lift located directly across from the hotel.

Delights for Adults &

With a permanent WOK station and live-cooking stations, Dachsteinkönig - Familux Resort elevates all-inclusive family dining to a new benchmark: fresh, regional, and seasonal produce shares the menu with carefully curated delicacies. Parents and children alike savour fruit and vegetable specialities that might not often appear on the home table. Since, as we all know, you eat with your eyes first, you’ll dine in a beautifully arranged setting designed in collaboration with local artisans. In the wine bar, certified sommeliers serve the finest wines during the twice-weekly wine tastings.Photos: Daniela Jakob
