St. Wolfgang, Austria
A lakeside hotel in St. Wolfgang, steps from the Wolfgangsee shore, with the Schafberg rising directly behind the village.

St. Wolfgang is a village reached by boat or narrow road, not a resort town. The pace here follows the lake. Hotel Cortisen am See sits at the point where alpine water, village life, and mountain terrain converge in a single address.
The Wolfgangsee stretches directly in front of the hotel. Swimming, rowing, and lake cruises start from the St. Wolfgang waterfront. The Schafbergbahn cog railway climbs to the summit of the Schafberg, opening views across the Salzkammergut lake district. Hiking trails run from the village into the surrounding Alps. Winter brings cross-country ski tracks along the lake and snow-covered mountain paths above.
