The Place
Salzkammergut, Upper Austria
Mondsee sits on one of the most beautiful lakes in the Salzkammergut, about 4 hours from major German cities — close enough for an extended weekend, far enough from everyday life. Schloss Hotel Mondsee itself is a 4★S hotel in a historic building, right in the middle of the illuminated old town.
Getting There
How to reach Mondsee
Two routes are open to you — by car or by train & bus. Both are very doable; if driving, we recommend checking the route with your GPS beforehand.
🚗 By car
From Nuremberg or the southern German area, there are several routes to Mondsee. The route via Munich is usually the fastest, but also the most congested — worth checking your GPS beforehand.
You'll need a vignette for Austrian highways. You can get one at practically any gas station along the highway in Bavaria, or buy a digital version in advance.
🚊 By train & bus
The Bayern-Ticket gets you to Salzburg main train station. From there, bus 140 takes you to Mondsee in about 50 minutes (bus fare not included in the Bayern-Ticket).
🅿️ Parking on site
You can park right in front of the hotel for check-in and check-out. For the duration of the retreat, we recommend the free open-air parking lot right next to the hotel (about a 2-minute walk).
🏰 Check-in & check-out
Official check-in is from 15:00 (sometimes possible from 14:00, depending on room occupancy). Check-out is until 11:00.
