Vacation at the Wolfgangsee.

Wolfgangsee vacation at the Weisses Bär.

St. Wolfgang am Wolfgangsee.

It could hardly be more picturesque and idyllic.

Most of Lake Wolfgangsee, also known by its older name Abersee, is located in the north-east of the province of Salzburg, with a small part belonging to Upper Austria. At 13 km², it is one of the largest and best-known lakes in the Salzkammergut region. The traditional municipality of St. Wolfgang is located directly on Lake Wolfgangsee in the Upper Austrian part on the northern shore of the lake, which is up to 114 m deep. Our small, fine 4-star Hotel Weisser Bär is located in this hidden gem in the heart of the Salzkammergut.

The Wolfgangsee region is the perfect place for anyone looking for nature, culture and a bit of adventure. Sparkling water, majestic mountains and charming, traditional villages that invite you to linger alternate with green meadows and beautiful forests.

St. Wolfgang is named after St. Wolfgang, who, according to legend, threw an axe and built a church where it landed. The village at the foot of the Schafberg was the most important pilgrimage site in Central Europe in the Middle Ages. The church, built in the Gothic style, houses a well-known winged altar carved by Michael Pacher.

Pleasure trip to the Salzkammergut.

Wolfgangsee vacation at the Weisses Bär.

St. Wolfgang is not just a place, but a way of life. Here, the soul can relax and body, mind and soul can come into harmony. Here you can relax and be active. Whether hiking on the numerous trails, cycling along the lake or swimming in the refreshing waters - the possibilities are endless! And if you want to take it a little easier, enjoy a relaxed lunch on our hotel terrace before heading out for a gourmet meal in the evening.

The region also has a lot to offer culturally. The impressive parish church with its famous altarpiece is just as attractive as the colorful, lively alleyways in St. Wolfgang, where small boutiques and craft stores invite you to go shopping.

For the more adventurous, there is also the option of taking the Schafbergbahn cable car up the Schafberg. The view from up there is simply breathtaking and a perfect photo motif for social media feeds!
