“Das Weisse Rössl" (The White Horse Inn) on Lake Wolfgangsee is one of the most famous and legendary hotels in Austria. The hotel is actually nine inter-connected buildings which have evolved over the years, each with its own history, charm and character.
The Austrian Gault Millau Gourmet Guide has awarded the cuisine at the White Horse Inn with 1 toque (chef’s hat emblem) and 14 points. The culinary weeks in the White Horse Inn (from “Spring Wine” to “Truffle Joy” in Advent) are highly praised by gourmets and connoisseurs. Our cellar with over 8,000 well chosen wines is one of the most well-stocked in Austria. We are especially proud of the fact that we only serve Austrian wine. “Sporty and Active” - it doesn’t matter if it’s hiking, running, Nordic walking or playing golf, St. Wolfgang has something for everyone. A special experience, though, are the water sports on Lake Wolfgangsee. Here, you swim in water good enough to drink - what a pleasure! Our spa in the lake marked a visionary milestone and is still internationally famous today. The whole-year-round heated pool in the lake, Austria's first floating jacuzzi and the panoramic relaxation room with its unlimited lake view all guarantee unsurpassed relaxation. According to Gudrun Peter, owner of the hotel, (now in the fifth generation of the same family) “Much has changed in the long and rich history of the White Horse Inn, from our humble beginnings as a simple guest house to today’s four star, Superior Hotel with lake spa and award-winning cuisine. We are committed to keeping up the highest standard of quality, without compromise, in all areas. Some things, however, have never changed - our passion as a host family and the genuinely warm, informal time spent with our guests, from whom many good friends have been made.”
