As Easter approaches from 18th–21st April 2025, the Naturhotel Forsthofgut in Leogang, Austria, is inviting guests to experience a unique blend of spring skiing and luxurious spa relaxation. Nestled at the base of the Asitz Mountain, this five-star family-run resort seamlessly combines outdoor adventure with serene wellness offerings.
The resort’s prime location provides direct access to the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, boasting an extensive 270 km of pistes suitable for all skill levels. Guests can ski directly from the hotel, ensuring a seamless transition from accommodation to slopes. Dedicated “snow farmers” work diligently through the night to maintain optimal skiing conditions, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the season until its final day.
After an invigorating morning on the slopes, guests can retreat to the hotel’s expansive waldSPA. This facility offers a range of treatments designed to rejuvenate both body and mind. Visitors can participate in yoga sessions set amidst the tranquil woods or embark on family hikes accompanied by the hotel’s friendly alpacas. The natural, chemical-free swimming lake, complemented by stunning mountain vistas, enhances the après-ski relaxation experience.
Dining at Forsthofgut is a celebration of both local and international cuisines. Guests can savour a sushi lunch on the Mizūmi terrace or indulge in gourmet meals at the newly introduced forest-themed restaurant, Silva. The hotel’s commitment to culinary excellence ensures that every meal is a memorable experience.
