If any of you are bored or feeling creatively inspired today, this might be something to occupy your grey matter.
This is a slogan used by a hotel. It's all about switching off, finding yourself, relaxing, getting rooted, finding inner balance, fleeing the hustle of life etc. through skiing, hiking, sport, sauna, spa treatments, massages etc.
The client is looking for an English "equivalent" short and snappy that sums this up.
I'm thinking along the lines of "come up, slow down" but that has already been patented by the Swiss resort Gstaad.
Find the mountain in you
Mountains of relaxation
My daughter suggested, "chill on the hill" which I love, but this is really high up in the Alps so "hill" doesn't work.
Let the mountains set you free.
Not 100% happy with any of these....

Take your time in timeless mountains
Just a suggestion!
I wonder about a possible reference to meditation and/or mysticism, but I suspect those particular words might put some people off.
I have difficulty thinking of a good solution using "grounded", which would be a more or less direct translation of "Erden".
"Slope off to the mountain slopes" would only work if "to slope off" is widely understood, which I suspect it isn't.

Up to high jinks with your feet on the ground
OK, terser than : scaling the heights with the ground firmly in your sights...
If it were the Erzgebirge in Styria, rather than the Austrian, Liechtenstein or Swiss Alps : you'll be in awe of the ore up there

Unwind. You've made it to the top!
This says both that the hotel is "top, upscale" and high up in the mountains.

Catching the mountain breeze
Stands symbolic for all the things people yearn for in the mountains such as unwinding and finding their inner peak, ahem, peace.

Your mountain escape
Another potential option. Or depending on how/where exactly the slogan is used:
The perfect mountain escape
An idyllic mountain escape
Escape to the mountains
I also really like your suggestion of 'Let the mountains set you free'
