Located in the heart of the Salzburger Land region, the Großarltal Valley is a picture-perfect alpine valley. In the warm summer months guests can look forward to dense pine forests and blooming alpine meadows, while in winter the mountainous landscape is covered by a thick layer of snow. Some of the most popular outdoor activities include hiking and biking in summer as well as skiing and snowboarding in winter. Get in touch now to book your stay at the GROSSARLER HOF and prepare to be enchanted by the magic of the Austrian Alps.
The Großarl Valley is like one huge outdoor spa in summer. Comfy waterbeds are replaced by flower-filled meadows, whirlpools give way to rushing streams, and instead of a sizzling sauna you can close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. Plus, of course, this region we are proud to call home offers views and vistas more spectacular than anything you will find indoors. We invite you to immerse yourself in the Austrian Alps and prepare for a spa session like no other!
The Großarl Valley is home to 400 kilometres of signposted walking and hiking trails leading through the Hohe Tauern National Park. Families will find plenty of easy terrain in the valley, while ambitious climbers can scale some of Austria's highest peaks. Make sure you plan a little extra time for a stop at one of the mountain huts serving hearty local food and drink.
The GROSSARLER HOF is just a short walk from the Panoramabahn cable car. This state-of-the-art ski lift gives skiers and snowboarders direct access to the ski pistes of the Großarltal-Dorfgastein ski resort, just one of five ski areas that make up the huge Ski Amadé network.
There is more to winter in the Großarltal Valley than skiing and snowboarding. If you fancy trying something different on holiday, we recommend cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or ski touring. The perfect way to get away from the busy pistes and experience winter at its most authentic.
Traditional Christmas markets take place throughout the Salzburger Land region in November and December. Pay a visit to one and check out the arts and crafts on sale while you sip a mug of hot Glühwein. Many markets offer activities for children.
There are plenty of alternative winter activities on offer in the Großarl Valley. Two top ideas for families with children are tobogganing and horse-drawn carriage rides.
