"Source of Strength"
For a number of years now, Ramsau has aptly described itself as "The Source of Strength".
How right they are: Because everything you associate with gentle, nature-friendly tourism is a living, breathing part of how the people here go about their daily lives. Tradition-rich farmhouses are painstakingly restored and lovingly nurtured as precious gems in their own right.
The hotels in the region could never be described as "bed factories". Rather, they are deeply rooted family businesses, where hosts and their dedicated employees pay personal attention to their guests' well-being.
