PAID CONTENT FOR NATURHOTEL FORSTHOFGUT


Naturhotel Forsthofgut LEOGANG, AUSTRIA


Set in the village of Leogang beneath a ring of snow- capped peaks, Naturhotel Forsthofgut is a five-star retreat shaped by nature and tradition. An hour from Salzburg, it sits among meadows and forest that change with the seasons — bright with wildflowers in summer and blanketed in snow through winter. The estate’s history stretches back more than


400 years, when it served as a forestry station in the surrounding mountains. Over five generations, the Schmuck family has transformed the site into one of Austria’s most distinctive nature hotels. Their revolutionary concept — combining luxury hospitality with a wellness philosophy that draws on the healing power of nature — has redefined the Alpine spa experience. A key focus is waldSPA Health, offering longevity


programmes within the hotel’s wellness complex. It combines medical diagnostics with nature-based therapies. Personalised programmes may include cryotherapy, hypoxia training, uVida analysis, and tailored nutritional guidance, aligning science with the healing influence of the surrounding forest. The entire waldSPA is reserved for adults


and features a remarkable range of facilities, from Japanese-inspired onsen bathing rituals to a floating Finnish sauna. The natural swimming lake remains open year-round, allowing cold- water immersion even in winter. Yoga platforms hidden among the trees offer secluded spaces for meditation, while reformer Pilates sessions take place every morning and evening. Cuisine reflects the same commitment to


locality. Half-board menus comprise vegan, Alpine-Mediterranean and one using only ingredients from within a 30-mile radius. Three a la carte restaurants offer additional choice: silva draws inspiration from the forest, Mizūmi introduces Japanese fusion and Restaurant 1617 celebrates seasonal Austrian-themed dishes. Accommodation blends Alpine warmth with


modern comfort. Across 112 rooms and suites — each with a balcony — natural timber and local fabrics create a calm, understated elegance. The estate offers year-round activities, including horse-riding, hiking, cycling and skiing, with forest trails beginning directly outside the hotel.


DON’T MISS Make the most of the waldSPA Health longevity programmes, which combine diagnostics, science and the healing power of nature
