Dear guests,
dare to look forward..

to a winter wonderland!

We are looking foward to enjoy the cosiest time of the year with you!

The Advent- & Christmas season is approaching.. a time of togetherness.
Finally spend some great hours at the Wolfgangsee-Advent. Stroll through the streets of St. Wolfgang with all the small stalls and enjoy the scent of roasted almonds, baked apples, cinnamon, mulled wine and much more.

Our doors are open until January, 6th 2024.. after that we will treat ourselves to a well-deserved creative break and await you back in Cortisen in spring 2024.. dare to be different! ;-)

WELCOME TO YOUR
4-star superior hotel on Lake Wolfgang!

We like to call ourselves a Feelness Oasis, because this is our topmost priority for your holiday in Upper Austria, in the heart of the Salzkammergut. Give free rein to your longing for the lake and let us take you on a journey of discovery.

DARE
to be different..

Dare to be different.. be Cortisen..

we like being creative, colourful & far away from the mainstream – bog standard just isn't for us – and this attitude is reflected throughout our hotel! [space to breathe], because all of our 25 double rooms & our 9 Design Suites & Loft Suites are different. One special hideaway for your well-earned summer holiday on the lake is our exclusive Boat Shed Suite on the upper deck of our boathouse, immediately on the shores of Lake Wolfgang.

This is what awaits you..

After a longer renovation phase, our building has now put on a new face, which we have been proudly presenting to our guests since May 2021. Numerous businesses are responsible for Cortisen's makeover, and many new features have been added. Your host family has implemented a few great ideas to more than meet all your demands.

Sanctuary for worn-out parents.. As a pioneer in our area, we were definitely a step ahead of our time. Sorry, no kids – a big outrage in 2005; today, a successful alternative to family holidays. We love children, but stressed parents also deserve some well-earned time out. Your Hotel Cortisen, the hotel for adults – we welcome near-teens from the age of 16 years upwards.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT!
Be cortisen!

Dare to be different..

Today, 'different' no longer means anything negative – just unique. That's what we want to be! We don't just want to be a luxury hotel in Austria, but also your Feelness Oasis for your well-earned holidays in Upper Austria! Your Hotel Cortisen brings together four (we believe) different holiday characters..

be madly athletic

.. the defined athlete who every now and then also likes to lay back and relax in the sauna or enjoy a massage.

be entirely relaxed

.. the chilled-out idler who manages to drag himself to the gym now and then in spite of himself, and who might swim a few lanes in the pool afterwards..

be uniquely fancy

.. the modern hipster who is always up-to-date but likes to feel inspired by the individual and extraordinary designs of the rooms and the whole building..

be highly exclusive

.. the demanding epicure who appreciates good food and good wine taken out on the sunny terrace..

.. no matter how we spin it

.. there is only one thing that appeals to them all.. Your Hotel Cortisen am See. We look forward to meeting you .. Your Ballner Family & Team
