THE SALZBURGER LAND, A UNIVERSE OF DELICIOUS INDULGENCE Enjoyment truly knows no boundary and, at the GROSSARLER HOF, this applies to the cuisine too: our chef Walter Viehauser has taken to heart the Austrian government’s ‘Genussregion’ initiative to promote regional food specialities, and guests really appreciate his game and fish dishes. Culinary delights abound in our elegant Alpinestyle restaurant and in the Jagastub’n à la carte restaurant where guests are transported back in time: linen tablecloths, rustic wooden chairs and benches, a tiled stove and hunting trophies. This world of enjoyment is rounded off with our superbly assorted cellar – the wines are predominantly Austrian, complimented by rare vintages from the Bordeaux region. During our weekly wine tasting guests can expect exciting tasting sessions of first class wines from established growers and notable young vintners.
BEST RESTAURANT IN THE GROSSARL VALLEY The renowned Falstaff Gourmet Guide 2015 rates our kitchen with 89 points & 2 forks

TRADITIONS & TIME HONOURED CUSTOMS Salzburg Mountain Advent in the Grossarl valley & Mountain Christmas in the Valley of Alpine Meadows The Salzburg Mountain Advent in the Grossarl valley is about as Christmassy as you can get! A life-size, carved nativity scene lies at the heart of the Christmas market in Grossarl that invites you to a pre-Christmas voyage of discovery. The Christmas post office, poetry readings and torchlight walks are some of the wonderful rural Advent events that await. Quality, authenticity and tradition are at the heart of the Advent festivities in the Grossarl valley. Listen to the carol singing, try the freshly baked fruit bread or enjoy St Nicholas Day celebration in the Christmas workshop! Christmas in Grossarl is a traditional and peaceful celebration shared with all our guests.

Their breath steams in the crisp winter air, the snow crunches under their hooves and the sleigh’s runners glide through the snowy landscape – a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride is just one of the many beautiful aspects of the gentle side of winter in the Grossarl valley. Another unforgettable experience that takes you up close and personal with nature is snowshoeing. You can hire all the equipment you need from the GROSSARLER HOF before getting stuck into some wintry fun – we’ll be delighted to organise a snowshoeing guide for you. Experience the unique atmosphere of a winter’s night during a torchlight walk to the Mooslehenalm Alpine lodge. On arrival you are welcomed with warming mulled wine, punch, and campfires. 22
Following a tour of the lodge we make the return trip with toboggans and headlamps to the GROSSARLER HOF where a delicious dinner awaits! The Grossarl Valley also offers superb conditions for both classic cross-country and skate skiers. The start of the cross-country ski trail is within a few minutes walk from the GROSSARLER HOF. 29km of crosscountry ski runs in and around Grossarl and Hüttschlag offer an extensive network for touring enjoyment. Experienced guides run courses for beginners and improvers seeking to improve their technique - why not benefit from the experts’ useful tips and advice? Equipment is available for hire from the local sports store in Grossarl.
SKI TOURING The Grossarl Valley is known as the ‘Valley of Alpine Meadows’ in summer, so it can undoubtedly be called the ‘Valley of Ski Touring’ in winter. Away from the ski slopes, countless peaks - mostly between 2,000 and 3,000m – await in the region around the villages of Grossarl and Hüttschlag.

Relaxation, deep inner peace and equilibrium – the Erlenreich Relax & SPA is the backdrop for guided Yoga practice which we offer twice a week as part of our activity programme. In addition we organise a twice yearly Yoga retreat with Anastasia Stoyannides.
YOGA @ GROSSARLER HOF
YOGA RETREATS Yoga retreats are open to people of all ages regardless of their abilities. You do not need to have had any prior experience of Yoga to participate. Anastasia Stoyannides responds to the needs of each individual participant. The postures chosen for the classes during the course of the retreat will therefore vary in line with the requirements of the group. Yogis and Yoginis are also encouraged to respect their individual psychosomatic conditions and to adapt their Yoga practice accordingly. Priority is given more to the quality of attention and the state of being during the practice rather than to achieving advanced physical postures. While practising the Yoga technique ‘bien tempéré’, we are supporting a non-competitive performance, trusting the principle that with a minimum of effort, we can achieve the maximum of effect. www.anastasiayoga.com

SUMMER IN THE VALLEY OF ALPINE MEADOWS
The Schödersee at the head of the valley in Hüttschlag is a periodic lake – more specifically, the only periodic lake in the Hohe Tauern National Park, and it only fills up during snowmelt and after particularly heavy downpours. In between it disappears completely, and only a small stream remains in the broad basin, eventually disappearing amongst a few stones.
THE NATIONAL PARK AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Flowering meadows, rushing streams and majestic summits provide the magnificent backdrop to unique holiday experiences. 10,000 animal species and 1,800 plant species have their natural and secure habitat around the GROSSARLER HOF, in the Hohe Tauern National Park. Observing chamois, golden eagles, deer, marmots and many other animal species in their Alpine homeland is an unforgettable experience. Last but not least, don’t forget your camera!
The Hohe Tauern National Park’s summer programmes are full of great ideas for making the most of this unique environment. Guided walks with National Park rangers, amazing mountain hikes and unforgettable wildlife watching are just a few examples. For an overview, see www.hohetauern.at

THE GROSSARL VALLEY’S SEVEN PEAK CHALLENGE Walking to the seven most beautiful and challenging peaks of the Grossarl Valley is a mission for truly ambitious hill and mountain walkers. Many prefer to tackle each peak in stages, and come back year after year to complete the challenge. Each stage is a demanding day walk and requires walkers to be in peak condition. Each day ends with a return to the GROSSARLER HOF where you can enjoy the hotel’s superb comfort and fabulous facilities. The guided peak challenge walks are organised by BERG-GESUND.
GOLF Eight picturesque golf courses are within an hour’s drive of the GROSSARLER HOF. Tee off in the magnificent mountain scenery, and enjoy golfing experiences in a class of their own – that’s golf in Salzburger Land. Our tip: golf taster lessons at the Goldegg and Radstadt Golf Clubs Let a golf pro introduce you to the sport – and you’ll soon be hitting it long, pitching, putting and chipping.
‘TIGHT LINES’ ON THE GROSSARLER ACHE Masters of the sport and beginners can try their hand on our own stretch of the river. The Grossarler Ache has a fishing area of about 18km in length and is supplemented by numerous tributaries in peaceful side valleys. It is a typical mountain stream that meanders along its upper course. A small lake close to the top end of our fishing area feeds the river, which ensures optimal water conditions for our fly fishing guests almost all year round.
