AT DAS EDELWEISS,THE FUSION OF SEAMLESS SKI ACCESS AND EXCEPTIONAL SPA FACILITIES TRANSFORMS A WINTER GETAWAY INTO A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE
After an extensive renovation in summer 2023, Das Edelweiss Salzburg Mountain Resort now boasts a striking modern building with spacious suites (including Private Spa Suites), each decorated in a sophisticated Alpine style. The luxurious Edelweiss Mountain Spa features an indoor water park with five slides, two outdoor infinity pools, numerous saunas and separate areas for families and adults to enjoy. Guests can satiate their desires with award-winning ‘mountain cuisine’, in a number of beautiful restaurants including a mouthwatering skeakhouse and a sushi restaurant. This five-star resort has been run by the
Hettegger family for three generations, who ensure the excellent service and cosy ambience endures into the future and the hotel was awarded with two keys by the MICHELIN Guide as one of the most outstanding hotels in Austria.
Ski in, Ski out Das Edelweiss is ideally located for winter sports enthusiasts. Nestled in the Großarl-Dorfgastein
ski area, part of Austria’s renowned Ski amadé region, the resort offers access to more than 470 miles of slopes and cosy apres-ski spots. The convenience of stepping out of the resort directly onto the piste is unparalleled. For early risers, the unique Early Bird Skikeriki is a must-try: every Wednesday, guests can join an exclusive 7:15am skiing session, led by local ski guides, to enjoy the freshly groomed, untouched slopes. Afterwards, a traditional Alpine breakfast in a cosy mountain hut awaits, offering a truly authentic experience. For families, there are dedicated slopes, while free-riders and snowboarders will also find off-piste areas that provide thrilling runs.
Blissful mountain spa After a day on the slopes, the 75,345sq ft Mountain Spa awaits. The Mountain Spa’s adults-only infinity pool invites guests to bask in the warmth of 35C water while soaking in the breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks and the quaint village below. The panoramic views stretch from the surrounding
summits to the village’s church spire, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. Meanwhile, the adults-only Sauna Area offers a variety of saunas, including an outdoor sauna with regular themed sauna infusions such as the Alpine-inspired almaufguss and calming lavender infusion. For those seeking total tranquillity, the Vogelfrei Resting Room is a must-visit. This space features hanging loungers and a calming ambiance, making it the perfect spot to unwind.
Wellness across the ages While the adults-only area is a true oasis of tranquillity, it’s hard to imagine that, just a few floors below, a thoughtfully designed spa paradise awaits younger guests. The spacious Family Mountain Spa, a dedicated section within the 75,345sq ft Edelweiss Mountain Spa, offers ample room for quality family time. Here, both adults and children can enjoy family-friendly textile saunas, a large indoor pool, a whirlpool and cosy, relaxing areas. The Mountain Spa also has a Water Slide
Park, which spans three floors and features five slides, including a 345-ft-long slide for the more adventurous. Younger guests can enjoy a splash pool with a tractor-themed slide, ensuring that every member of the family finds joy in the resort’s expansive spa facilities. What’s more, attentive childcare at the Edelweiss
Prince and Princess Land provides parents with precious moments to themselves, knowing their children are in excellent hands.
Effortless access & comfort Das Edelweiss Salzburg Mountain Resort combines luxury and convenience with its private ski depot and early morning skiing experiences. This ensures a seamless and memorable winter adventure for all guests. The resort’s private ski depot, where each room has a personal ski locker, is equipped with boot and glove dryers, meaning all guests start their ski day with warm, dry gear. The depot, like the rest of the resort, is designed with the same Alpine elegance, featuring natural materials and spacious interiors.
Delicious mountain cuisine When it comes to dining, culinary experiences at Das Edelweiss Salzburg Mountain Resort are exceptional, with menus ranging from regional to vegan and international. The award-winning mountain cuisine is headed by family member and chef Alexander Hettegger, who attaches great importance to the use of local produce and culinary variation. For example, after a day of skiing, guests can indulge in traditional Austrian dishes such as kaiserschmarrn (a shredded pancake often flavoured with vanilla or rum and enriched with rum-soaked raisins). For those seeking international flavours, the
Sakura: The Taste of Asia provides a vibrant fusion of Japanese cuisine, including fresh sushi. Wine connoisseurs will get their money’s worth at Kork & Gloria wine bar, which offers a vast selection of fine wines, meanwhile meat-lovers can flock to the Sirloin Steak Restaurant for mouth-watering dishes from Angus to Wagyu beef. The latter also serves a range of delicious seasonal dishes and delectable salads.
