Conveniently located (if you have a car) about 15 mins from HallStatt, and about 50 mins from Salzburg, in a beautiful town of Russbach. We had one day trip to HallStatt and another day and a half to Salzburg. Russbach has a nice small water park, where our kids could canoe for free, when locals were not using them. Staffs were friendly and nice. Will stay there if we will be around again.

The hotel is hard to miss. It is a big golden yellow building sitting right on Lake Hallstatt. You'll see it in almost every picture of Hallstatt. The hotel is decorated very nicely and the rooms are elegant and incredibly spacious. Some of the rooms have balconies facing the lake. Ours looked directly out onto the beautiful stained glass windows of the Prostestant church next door with a view of the lake to the side. The hotel entrance is right on the town square and within a 10-15 min walk of the funicular for the salt mines on the outskirts of the town. Everything else in Hallstatt is even closer. We arrived too late to tour the salt mines, but did go on a nice hike that started at the funicular for the salt mines, went a little ways up the mountain, and came back into town around the area of the Catholic church. The hotel has a very nice restaurant with views of the lake and an outdoor deck for use in good weather. We had both dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. We had dinner fairly late so we almost had the restaurant to ourselves. This gave the waiter time to socialize a little and provide some interesting history about the area and himself. There was an extensive spread for the complimentary breakfast including fresh fish from Lake Hallstatt. We will definitely come back sometime since one night was not enough to take in all the beauty of Hallstatt and when we do, we will stay here. Maybe in one of the balcony rooms overlooking the lake.

After getting used to some bad experiences, we were very happy with Ski Vital. It was a little out of the way for us, but worth it. It is in a beautiful area. I think that every room has a great view. You could not ask for a better staff. They were some of the nicest and personable people that we have met on our long trip. They went above and beyond what we have gotten from any other place that we have stayed. We will be back.
