Discover Moments of Happiness – Your Retreat at Nature & Wellness Hotel Nesslerhof
Happiness – What It Means & How We Find It
Happiness. A simple word that can fill an entire life. Every person understands it differently — and that’s exactly what makes it so fascinating. For one, happiness might be the moment you fall into the arms of a loved one. For another, it’s the silence at dawn as the first rays of sunlight bathe the mountain peaks in golden light. Happiness can be loud — uncontrollable laughter — or gentle, like the inner peace felt after a deep breath of crisp alpine air.
What is Happiness?
Philosophers, poets and scientists have long attempted to define happiness. Some see it as a state of perfect contentment, others as the highest good toward which humans strive. Modern positive psychology speaks of a blend of positive emotions, life purpose, and meaningful relationships. But the truth is: happiness is as individual as a fingerprint. What unites us is the longing for this feeling — one that makes us lighter, more radiant, more alive.
How Do We Attain Happiness?
The beauty of happiness is that it often hides in the small things. Not in grand goals, but in daily moments. Happiness psychologists call these “micro‑moments of joy.” Even a walk in nature can lift your spirits and reduce stress. A friendly conversation, a good book, or dinner with friends — small yet powerful sources of life satisfaction.
What Can I Do to Be Happier?
The first step is to pause intentionally. Many chase after happiness, when in fact it may already be waiting on our doorstep. Being happy doesn’t mean possessing everything or traveling non-stop — it’s about opening your eyes to what already is. Those who regularly carve out time for body, mind and soul create the space in which happiness can emerge.
Happiness & Time Out — Why Holidays Matter
In our fast-paced world, we yearn for places that help us rebalance. Places where we can let go of everyday pressures, recharge, find silence, and rediscover ourselves. On holiday, it’s easier to notice those moments consciously — falling asleep in complete quiet, waking to mountain vistas, or breathing the warmth of a pool.
A glimpse ahead
Maybe happiness isn’t a grand art — rather, it’s a mindset. Those who allow themselves to savour moments, open their senses, and live with gratitude have already found happiness. And sometimes, you just need the right place to make all that tangible.
That place is what Nesslerhof aims to be: a sanctuary amid the Alps, crafted for moments of joy that resonate long after. Be it spa, nature or yoga — here you’ll find all that nourishes happiness.
Wellness as a Source of Happiness
When body and mind are in harmony, happiness follows. In our 1,800 m² premium spa you’ll experience water, warmth and silence at their finest: swimming in the 25‑m outdoor pool or 800 m² natural bathing pond, relaxing in one of eight quiet zones, or recharging with a massage using alpine essences.
Inner Peace — Happiness in the Moment
Happiness often resides in mindfulness. Our daily yoga sessions invite stillness and presence. Whether at sunrise with mountain views or during evening flows — Yoga by ness offers tranquility and renewed energy.
Nature’s Joy in the Großarltal
The mountains surrounding Großarl are a place of pure happiness. Fresh alpine air, blooming meadows and crystal-clear mountain lakes invite deep breathing. Whether hiking, skiing right from the hotel, or pausing on an alpine hut — nature gifts us those unforgettable moments.
Restful Sleep — Foundation of Happiness
A happy day begins with restorative sleep. At Nesslerhof you’ll find spacious rooms and suites with private spa, cosy beds and absolute silence. Guests who stay in our pool suites know: you won’t find a better retreat.
Happiness Through Fine Dining
Local, fresh, creative: at our two-rosette kitchen, culinary joy becomes a moment of happiness. From energising breakfasts to five-course gourmet dinners, we pamper you with lovingly prepared delights from Salzburgerland.
Your Personal Holiday Happiness at Nesslerhof
Whether you seek tranquility, renewed energy or simply to celebrate life — at Nesslerhof your moment of happiness awaits. Sometimes it’s the small things: a guest whisperer’s smile, a plunge into the natural pond, a glass of wine by the fire.
