Neuwirt. Hotel & Wirtshaus
Contemporary-traditional Austrian boutique inn. Genuine fourth-generation hospitality with a modern design sensibility. No spa, no gym, no frills you won't use — but an exceptional kitchen, curated wine list, and easy access to Salzburg and the Alps.
Ask about the complimentary train ticket to Salzburg — several guests mention it but it's not prominently advertised.
Why It Matters
Listed in the Michelin Guide and featured by Falstaff, Servus, and Wirtshausführer. One of the few genuinely family-owned properties in the Salzburg region operating continuously since 1877, with an in-house sommelier (Katharina Schiefer) and a Wirtshaus that locals actually eat at. The new-build suites — including one with a private sauna — are a genuine step up from the typical regional inn.
A family-run boutique inn on the village square of Bad Vigaun since 1877, now in its fourth generation under Katharina and Michael Schiefer. The original farmhouse has been joined by a sleek new-build wing housing contemporary suites — think warm wood floors, boxspring beds, and every room with a balcony, loggia, or garden terrace. The attached Wirtshaus does double duty as a proper local pub and a serious regional kitchen, pulling in both villagers and hotel guests.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Dorfleben Classic
Twenty to twenty-two square metres in the original Neuwirt farmhouse, with a balcony looking onto the village square. The most characterful of the standard rooms — you get a front-row seat to village life. Best value option for those who don't need a suite.
21 sqm
Dorfleben Large
Twenty-five to thirty square metres in the original Neuwirt building, first floor. The biggest standard room — double bed plus sofa, good for families or those wanting more floor space. Dog-friendly (on request, fee applies, one dog per room).
Double + sofa · 27 sqm
Dorfleben Small
Sixteen to eighteen square metres on the second and third floor of the original building. Compact but well-finished with a balcony looking into the garden or towards the village. The third-floor rooms have low mansard ceilings — cosy rather than spacious. Good entry-level price point.
17 sqm
Gartensuite
The top-of-range suite in the new building, on the ground floor (parterre). Forty-five square metres with a 16 m² garden terrace looking out to greenery. The big draw is the private in-room sauna — a genuine luxury for the price point. Fully climate-controlled. Boxspring bed, warm wood floors.
45 sqmLandsuite
Thirty-six square metres of traditional comfort with a view of the Tennengebirge mountains. More classic in feel than the Gartensuite or Loftsuite — warm, unpretentious, and well-suited to families or couples who want space without the sauna premium.
36 sqmLoftsuite
The most architecturally striking room in the house. Sits on the top floor of the new building with ceiling heights up to 4.2 metres and an open loft feel. Forty square metres with a loggia overlooking the surroundings. Works well for couples wanting a bit of drama, or solo travellers who appreciate genuine space.

How you'll actually spend your days.
Salzburg city centre is 20 km away and served by the S-Bahn in roughly 30 minutes. The hotel reportedly provides a free return train ticket — ask at check-in.
The town's thermal spa and medical centre is a short walk from the hotel. Multiple indoor and outdoor thermal pools plus a full sauna landscape. Entry can be included in the Weekend Escape package.
The hotel sits at the foot of the Tennengebirge mountains. The Tauglbach river valley and the Schlenken viewpoint mountain are both very close. Marked trails ranging from easy valley walks to serious mountain routes.
The Celtic town of Hallein and its underground salt mine are about 3 km from the hotel. A half-day excursion easily combined with a Salzburg visit.
Special themed dining evenings in the Wirtshaus with a relaxed, unhurried format. Seasonally recurring events — check the hotel website or Instagram for upcoming dates.
The Tennengau and Dachstein region offer mountain biking in summer and backcountry ski touring in winter. The hotel serves as a base — no on-site bike rental mentioned.
