Hiking wasn't always in fashion. In the past, when you walked in the forest and mountains, oftentimes you didn't see a soul. But now, as more people live in cities, the longing for nature is growing. And so, what happens when a topic interests many? Exactly: you get some exciting results. Here are some trends.

A conversation with wellbeing expert Nicole Gottschall about summer health, trends and wellness.

We all know the Burg is the place to be in winter, but now that our doors are wide open year round, you might want to block your calendar for summer and fall, too. It’s wonderful here at high altitude. To tempt you, here’s a taste of our beautiful temptations.

“The most wonderful feeling in the world? Skiing on 'firn' snow. This is when the sun has melted the frozen snow so gently that you glide through it like a crème brûlée - it's simply delicious!”

The mountains around the Burg from the perspective of our ski legend Erich Mair.

At 31, Patricia became part of the Burg family and suddenly she was responsible for 130 employees. Four years later, she talks about women in the hotel industry, what is important to her when it comes to leadership, and what advice she would give to anyone who is growing into a management role.

Head chef Sebastian Daeche and his kitchen team are always surprising us with new delicacies. But what dishes used to appear on the Burg plates? Let's take a little trip back in time when Gerhard Lucian was cooking.

In the midst of the white world of ice, young and old will find their winter hiking happiness. Glistening mountain peaks and fresh crystal snow as far as the eye can see. 

One man comes from Belgium, the other is from Austria. One runs a family business, the other is a freelance consultant. What they both have in common: a passion for wine. Christian Lucian and Mathieu Mermelstein talk about trends, collectibles, conviviality and personal wine preferences.

In September, chef Sebastian Daeche will introduce you to the art of cooking Austrian pastries. You can get a foretaste of our cookery class here: Powidl dumplings à la Burg.

We do it like the Weather Girls song: no matter if it’s drizzling or pouring, rain is no reason for a gray mood. There is fun aplenty for guests both big and small.
