A strong team: Raimund Gesinger (1928–2023) and his wife, Hertha (1930–2022), built up the hotel in 1959 and managed it successfully for four decades. Elisabeth Gesinger-Scharfetter (middle, with her granddaughter Luise) and her sister Susi (left) run the hotel since 1998. In 2015 the Hotel zur Post became part of the Scharfetter businesses of Elisabeth’s husband Hans Scharfetter. Their four children, Katharina (right), Julian, Rosina and Lukas; their nieces, Anna and Valerie; and nephew, Matthias, help out whenever they’re needed.
A good atmosphere is important to us. We’re proud that so many of our employees have been part of the Post family for years. Their commitment helps us ensure that our guests feel completely at home.
In the 19th century, Goldegg Post Office was located in the "Wachterhaus". Beginning in the 1960s, Raimund and Hertha Gesinger ran a café and guesthouse in the old inn. After they remodeled and expanded the building, it became Hotel zur Post.
A small castle with a rich history. The romantic Weitmoser Schlössl with its round towers is closely linked to 16th-century mine owner Christoph Weitmoser during the heyday of gold mining in the Gastein Valley. Since 1752, the castle has been owned by the Scharfetter family. Today, it’s where people who love good food come to dine, especially out on the terrace in the summer. See current opening hours.

The best way to start a day of skiing and the best après ski bar in the Gastein Valley. You’ll find the Weitmoserin at the bottom station of the Schlossalmbahn cable car, for brunch, for a refined lunch and for live music after a day on the slopes.
We recommend
