The cosiest Austrian winter escape – Superior Hotel Der Löwe, Leogang
T ere’s a moment, between the fi rst sip of coff ee and the fi rst ski run of the day when the Austrian Alps work their quiet magic. Outside, snow catches the early light; inside, the gentle clatter of breakfast mingles with the murmur of fellow travellers preparing for the slopes. In Leogang, at the family-run Hotel Der Löwe (‘the lion’), winter feels as if it was designed just for you. T e hotel is part of the Alpin Card
ski region, with over 400km of slopes across the Skicircus Saalbach Hinter- glemm Leogang Fieberbrunn and the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier in Kaprun, where high-altitude skiing is included in your lift pass. Its seven-night all-in-one winter
package covers private transfers from Munich or Salzburg, six days of lift access, premium ski hire and half- board dining with hearty breakfasts, afternoon snacks and elegant Austri- an dinners. After a day on the slopes, the roof-
top adults-only spa off ers panoramic views, a Finnish sauna and peaceful spaces for deep rest. Daily yoga, mas- sages and beauty treatments with nat- ural cosmetics restore body and mind. Families enjoy their own spa with in- door and outdoor pools, sustainably heated with geothermal energy. T e Saalfelden Leogang Card is in-
cluded, giving a free return ride on the Asitz gondola for winter walkers, lead-
ing to beautiful snowy trails, plus ac- cess to cross-country skiing and sledg- ing amid breathtaking views. Off the slopes, Salzburg’s baroque old town is just an hour away. Closer to home, winter hiking trails begin at the hotel’s doorstep, while local cheesemakers and farm shops off er regional fl avours. Insider tip: when the skis are stored
away, the hotel keeps the spirit high with cocktail workshops and a Kai- serschmarrn cooking class — a sweet taste of Austrian tradition. In Decem- ber, Hotel Der Löwe stages two Advent markets and a festive Advent brunch, seasonal highlights not to be missed. For over a century, the Madreiter
family has blended alpine tradition with a forward-thinking approach to sustainability. T e result is a warm, modern refuge where every detail, from spa robes to the glow of a private sauna or fi replace, adds to the sense of belonging.
Hotel Der Löwe off ers seven cosy nights with
private transfers from Munich or Salzburg, a six-day pass
covering over 400km of slopes (including the Kitzsteinhorn Glacier & Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn) plus ski hire
