Sternenzauber
Retreat

An Advent weekend for body, soul & all the senses

11. December 2026bis 13. December 2026

Herzwärts into the Christmas season. 🤍✨

Perhaps this year was yet another of those years in which you achieved, organised and carried an incredible amount, whilst always being there for others.

And perhaps right now is the moment to, for once, not have to achieve anything.

Three days when you don’t have to function.
Three days when you’re allowed not to worry about a thing.
Three days when you can simply settle in, take a deep breath and enjoy yourself.

At the beautiful Hotel eder, nestled in the wintry mountain landscape of Maria Alm, a lovingly organised Advent break awaits you, full of indulgence, wellness, new encounters and little moments that warm the heart.

You’re allowed to laugh.
You’re allowed to be quiet.
You’re allowed to let yourself be pampered.
You’re allowed to meet new people.
And you’re allowed to simply be just as you are right now. 🤍

No pressure to perform. No ‘you must’.
Simply a weekend just for you.

A touch of Winter Wonderland.
A touch of Christmas magic.
Lots and lots of HERZWÄRTS.

🤍 STERNENZAUBER IS FOR YOU,

if, after a year full of to-do lists and appointments, you simply want to take some time for yourself again.

If you fancy some genuine connections, but would just as happily sit alone in the sauna.

If you love good food, the mountains, Christmas lights and that special feeling when the world slows down a little for a moment.

If you’re not looking for a retreat where you end up ticking off a timetable.

But rather a weekend that feels light, warm and genuine.

A weekend where you don’t have to do anything.

Except perhaps to put yourself first again for once. 🤍

✨ HERZWÄRTS INTO THE CHRISTMAS SEASON.

A little winter wonderland.
Three days full of enjoyment.
Special encounters.
And so many moments that will stay with you.
