Park am See is idyllically situated on the shore of one of Austria’s deepest lakes, surrounded by imposing mountains and a glacier. With its restored lodges, seven original wagons, and a romantic tree house, it offers a perfect combination of nature, history, and comfort. Here you can sleep under ancient trees and on beautiful meadows, enjoy the view of the lake and mountains, and experience the tranquility of nature.

The accommodations at Park am See

The park is built with great care, preserving the natural landscape with rare plants, a protected biosphere, and a 300-meter-long private natural beach—without paved roads. Each lodge has its own character and is furnished with high-quality bedding by Bassetti, Zucchi, or Leitner Leinen, soft bathrobes, and delightful soaps from Provence.

A real highlight is "Django le Gitan," an original Buggenhout carriage from the 1920s, designed by Monsieur Albrecht, the designer of the Orient Express carriages. This historic wagon was once the showpiece of traveling artists and musicians. "La Cantarella," a traditional verdine from southern France, also preserves the charm of the traveling people. For romantics, there is the treehouse "La Bohème"—a small artist’s studio with a large, semi-circular window, fine fabrics, loving details, and a very special atmosphere.
