Spa and Wellness Hotels in Haus im Ennstal
Haus im Ennstal sits in the Styrian Enns valley at the foot of the Hauser Kaibling, part of the Schladming ski area, with the Dachstein massif across the valley. Seven of its stays offer wellness in different forms. Hotel Herrschaftstaverne, Bliem's Familienhotel and Panoramahotel Gürtl pair an indoor pool with a spa, Hartweger's Hotel adds a heated outdoor pool, Felsners Hotel has a hammam, and Skylodge Alpine Homes and Apartments Schmiedgut suit self-catering. This guide sets out what each one actually includes, so you can match the pool, sauna or kitchen to the way you ski.
Haus im Ennstal is a Styrian village in the Enns valley, between Schladming and the Dachstein range to the north and the Schladminger Tauern to the south. The Hauser Kaibling rises straight above it and links into the four-mountain ski area around Schladming, so the village works as a quieter base with direct access to large slopes.
Where to stay
Pools, saunas and apartments in the Enns valley
Wellness in Haus im Ennstal is mostly family-sized rather than a grand spa scene. Five hotels run a pool with a sauna or spa, which covers the classic end of a ski day on the Hauser Kaibling, while Skylodge Alpine Homes and Apartments Schmiedgut swap the hotel spa for full kitchens. The choice depends on whether you want half-board and a pool in the same building or the freedom of an apartment with a sauna close by.
Hotel Herrschaftstaverne has the widest set of facilities in Haus im Ennstal. Its wellness area combines a spa, a sauna, an indoor swimming pool and a sun terrace, and the hotel adds a tennis court, a fitness centre and family rooms with balconies. The restaurant serves Austrian cuisine in a family-friendly setting. With a 9.5 score over 82 reviews, it is the strongest rated hotel on this page. I would choose it for a ski week on the Hauser Kaibling where the pool and sauna matter as much as the slopes, and where children and adults both need space in the evening.
Hartweger's Hotel stands out for its two pools. A heated outdoor pool sits next to an indoor one, with a spa area and sauna alongside, and rooms look towards the Tauern mountains. A ski bus stops directly outside and runs to the Hauser Kaibling cable car, 1.5 km away, so the car can stay parked all week. The restaurant serves Styrian specialities, and the 9.2 score over 140 reviews is well backed. It suits anyone who wants an outdoor swim with mountain views after skiing in the Enns valley, without moving to a larger resort such as Schladming for the same set-up.
Three family hotels offer a pool and spa on a smaller scale. Felsners Hotel & Restaurant has a spa and wellness centre with a pool, a sauna, a fitness room and a hammam, plus family rooms with balconies and Austrian cooking with various dietary options. Panoramahotel Gürtl pairs an indoor pool and a spa and wellness centre with a sun terrace and mountain-view balconies. Bliem's Familienhotel adds a children's playground to its indoor pool and sauna, though with only four reviews its 7.5 score says little yet. All three sit in Haus im Ennstal itself, with the Dachstein in view on clear days.
For self-catering, two options stand out. Skylodge Alpine Homes is 250 m from the ski slopes, with fully equipped kitchens, an on-site wellness area with a sauna, free private parking and panoramic views of the Dachstein massif and the Enns valley, backed by a 9.0 score over 260 reviews. Apartments Schmiedgut offers kitchenettes, washing machines and dishwashers in every unit, with a waterpark and a children's playground among its leisure facilities, rated 9.4 over 62 reviews. For a longer family stay in Haus im Ennstal, either one gives more freedom than half-board, at the cost of a smaller spa.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a ski week in Haus im Ennstal, I would book Hotel Herrschaftstaverne: the indoor pool, spa and sauna, plus a 9.5 score from its guests, make it the most complete choice below the Hauser Kaibling. If an outdoor swim mattered more, I would switch to Hartweger's Hotel and its heated outdoor pool, and for self-catering with a sauna I would pick Skylodge Alpine Homes, 250 m from the slopes.
