Guests at Hotel Nesslerhof practice nudity in Austrian Alps
A traveler visited the Hotel Nesslerhof wellness resort in Austria's Großarl Valley to experience a culture where being naked is considered normal.
Rules of the natural happiness hotel
The general rule at this alpine property states that guests are weird if they wear clothes. The resort calls itself the natural happiness hotel and demands total presence from visitors. Staff explain that stripping down is both a physical state and an emotional one for locals. This mindset stems from a German concept called Lebensphilosophie which translates to philosophy of life.
Five saunas and five strangers
The wellness space offers five co-ed clothing-optional saunas along with a separate private sauna available in select suites. A salt steam bath and infrared loungers are also available for guests seeking this state of awareness. The traveler arrived burned out with attention scattered across screens before stepping into the calm environment. Being naked with forty strangers wondering about the same thing was the next step in the experience.
Austrian national tourist board marketing
According to the Austrian National Tourist Board, Lebensgefühl serves as a distinct type of marketing terminology. This framework focuses on the concept that life is grasped by looking inward instead of relying on outside doctrines. The feeling itself is described as real and something visitors can cultivate anywhere if they choose to slow down.
