Fitness

No need to pause your workout routine while on holiday. At the 4-star superior Hotel Rauriserhof, you have access to over 80 m² of dedicated gym space equipped with premium commercial machines and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our on-site tennis courts and the peaks of the Goldberg Range. Whether you are sticking to your regular program or looking to build momentum for a healthier lifestyle, the space is bright, well-ventilated, and never crowded—letting you train at your own pace.

The Rießlegger-Mayr family runs Rauriserhof specifically for active travellers. That is why the BergFitness area is located just steps from the BergSpa: a focused workout followed by seamless recovery, with no detour in between.

The Equipment

Cardio

• 2 commercial treadmills for baseline mileage and interval work, no matter the weather
• 1 upright exercise bike for steady-state ergometer sessions
• 1 recumbent bike with lumbar back support for joint-friendly cardio
• 2 indoor spin bikes for cadence drills and simulated hill climbs
• 1 Precor Adaptive Motion Trainer (AMT) with Open Stride for low-impact, full-body conditioning with customisable stride length

Strength & Hypertrophy

• Smith machine for guided squats and pressing—safe and effective, even without a spotter
• Lat pulldown and low row station targeting the upper back, shoulders, and pulling mechanics
• Seated leg extension and hamstring curl unit for isolated quad and posterior chain work
• Free weights: full dumbbell set from 0.5 to 22.5 kg, suited for everything from mobility work to heavy strength sets

Functional & Suspension Training

• Queenax “The One”: wall-mounted functional rig for bodyweight circuits, calisthenics, and paired workouts
• TRX suspension trainer: bodyweight strap system designed to build deep core stability and rotational strength

The Rauris Valley starts right outside our door—and the strength you build in the gym pays off across the trails of Hohe Tauern National Park.

Hiking & Mountaineering: Strong quadriceps and a locked-in core keep you sure-footed heading toward Kolm Saigurn or through the Krumltal. Targeted work on the leg stations directly prepares your lower body for the heavy eccentric load of steep mountain descents.

Tennis: Before walking onto our outdoor clay courts or into the indoor tennis hall, warm up your shoulders and rotator cuffs on the Queenax rig—making your serve feel fluid from the very first point.

Rainy Days: When low hanging clouds roll in, simply shift your session inside. Our treadmills, bikes, and AMT ensure zero interruptions to your routine, while the panoramic views remain just as captivating in the mountain mist.

Post-Workout Recovery at BergSpa

Pools & Swimming: Swim laps in our indoor BergPanorama pool at 30 °C, then unwind in the whirlpool. The heated outdoor pool sits at 28–30 °C in summer and 32 °C in winter—ideal for active recovery while taking in the alpine surroundings.

Saunas & Heat Therapy: Traditional rock sauna with an outdoor cool-down zone, 60 °C bio-sauna, steam bath, and a PhysioTherm infrared cabin. The gentle penetrating heat of the infrared cabin is especially effective for easing muscle tension after a heavy training session.

Targeted Massages: Our BergSpa therapists offer dedicated treatments for athletes, including our signature “Sport Vital” deep tissue massage and targeted BellaBambi cupping therapy (BeinFit and RückenFit) to release fascial stiffness in the back and legs.
