A mountain resort that inspires international film crews while offering guests a stage for unforgettable holiday experiences.
Some places feel as if they were dreamed up by a filmmaker. Magical, serene, almost unreal – like a scene written for the screen. The Gradonna****s Mountain Resort in East Tyrol is such a place. No surprise then that both national and international film productions choose this alpine retreat as their backdrop. Guests who come here don’t just take a holiday – they step into the leading role of their own story.
On Location: Architecture Meets Nature
Like a modern mountain village, the resort of glass and wood blends harmoniously yet boldly into the scenery of the Großglockner. At 1,500 meters above sea level in the Hohe Tauern, the atmosphere shifts with every change of weather and light: radiant in sunshine, dramatic in snow, mystical in fog. This unique interplay draws not only travelers, but also filmmakers from around the globe.
A Chalet in Hollywood Light
The Gradonna gained international attention as a filming location for the Amazon Prime series Nine Perfect Strangers. One of the chalets became the mysterious retreat of Nicole Kidman’s character, Mascha Dmitrichenko. While the Hollywood star herself never filmed on-site, the resort’s presence throughout the series lends it an unmistakable cinematic aura.
A Stage for Film and Television
The Gradonna also shines in European cinema. In the Austrian-German comedy Der Spitzname, it features alongside the Großglockner Resort Kals-Matrei ski area, setting the stage for Iris Berben, Christoph Maria Herbst, and Florian David Fitz. The resort has likewise served as a backdrop for series such as Die Bergretter and Landkrimi.
“For international film productions, what matters beyond the breathtaking scenery are sustainable conditions and professional infrastructure. As the first hotel in East Tyrol with ISO-14001 certification, we offer film teams not only spectacular locations but also reliable and responsible production standards.”
– Martha Schultz, co-owner of the resort
A Cinematic Holiday
For guests, this means the rare chance to holiday on a real film set. Amid alpine landscapes, striking architecture, and the spirit of past productions, every stay becomes a cinematic experience in its own right. In other words: Lights, camera, vacation.
