Tratten Vacation Packages

We had a Mountain View balcony room as there were no lake view balcony rooms available as we booked last minute. We did say we wished we had gone for a lake view room with no balcony but to be honest we barely spent any time in the room and could easily sit out by the lake in the garden and on the terrace. Yes, there is a train station directly out the back of the hotel (most significant for those rooms with a Mountain View) but they do not run all night and really didn’t disturb us. Also very easy and cheap (compared to UK!) to hop on the train to get into Villach for example. Others said rooms were dated - I think it’s just the mountain lodge style - we found everything to be clean and functional with the stay being good value for money. Decent breakfast spread each day and staff were all friendly. Bikes are available to hire free of charge. It’s worth noting that at this time of year the sun disappears from the garden area by about 3.40/4pm but we weren’t exactly there to sunbathe! Parking is in a car park secured by a barrier with a code, although not well signposted when you first arrive! You have to go to check in to get the code for the car park. If you have a car the location is great to get onto the Autobahn, easy to access Slovenia and Italy too. It’s a shame they don’t do an evening meal or open the bar at this time of year but overall a really enjoyable stay and would go back.

Absolutely fabulous for families with children of all ages. The area of Nassfeld has the motto “Nice Surprise” and it really was the nicest surprise to find this lovely hotel in this breathtaking part of the world. We travelled with our teen boys in the summer and they were active all day. From rock climbing (ages 6 and up) to swimming, to the children’s area (arcade style basketball was a big hit!) to mountain biking the local area, this hotel was outstanding. Breakfast had a delicious buffet assortment of fruits, veggies, omelettes, meats, cheeses, yogurts and breads- also excellent coffee options! The rooms were tidy and uncomplicated, with essential amenities. The shower had great, powerful flow (I mention this bc I can’t stand weak, dribbling showers) Apparently the winter had even MORE to offer, but our summer stay did not disappoint us in any way. Staff were efficient, friendly, and helpful. The teens have asked to return in the winter some day to ski, and we will happily return to the Franz Ferdinand!

Awesome hotel. Very spacious room, comfortable bed and great shower. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Great amenities; we swam in the pool and used the steam room to relax after hiking. Great breakfast. Had two dinners, one was good and the other was outstanding. The hotel is top notch!
