A life-sized, carved nativity scene lies at the centre of Grossarl’s Christmas market, inviting you to take part in a Christmas voyage of discovery. Children write to Santa at his special post office, and Christmas stories and carols resound in the Waggerl Stube. Try the freshly baked fruit bread or enjoy St Nicholas Day celebrations in the Christmas workshop. Quality, authenticity, tradition and family are at the heart of Advent festivities in the Grossarl Valley, promising a peaceful and happy festive season...

The Natur Platzl, Sonnen Platzl, Servus Platzl, Wilderer Platzl and Glockner Platzl are waiting for you. GUARANTEED SNOW: the Grossarl-Dorfgastein ski area is snow-safe from early December until well into the spring. Even if snowfall is less than abundant, the region is well prepared: a new 70,000 cubic metre storage pond and 47 additional snow cannons ensure unlimited fun on the slopes. TOUR RETOUR: coming back to where we started! If you think you’ve seen everything there is to see in the Grossarl Valley, think again. On a Tour Retour you get to know a completely new, yet ancient side of the ski area. Enjoy the gorgeous setting of ski route no.11 at the foot of the Schuhflicker. The ski route is groomed from time to time and is therefore suitable for all abilities.

By configuring the goggles via the safety settings you can choose to have the display turn itself off as soon as you reach a certain speed to prevent it distracting you.

Ski touring It’s the ‘Valley of Alpine Meadows’ in summer, but in winter the Grossarl Valley becomes the ‘Valley of Ski Touring’. Away from the ski slopes, countless peaks – mostly between 2,000 and 3,000m – await you in the region around the villages of Grossarl and Hüttschlag.
TIP Now open throughout the year, the popular Loosbühelalm mountain hut with rooms makes an ideal winter refreshment stop for snowshoers, ski mountaineers, walkers, hikers and tobogganists alike. Don’t miss their exquisite homemade cheese! 22
The gentle side of winter in Grossarl The snow crunches under the horses’ hooves as the sleigh’s runners glide through the snowy landscape – a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride is just one of the many delightful ways to enjoy the gentle side of winter in the Grossarl Valley. For an unforgettable experience close to nature, we heartily recommend snowshoeing. Simply borrow your kit from the GROSSARLER HOF, and then dive into the wintry fun – guided tours are also available. Both skaters and classic cross-country skiing fans find prime conditions in the Grossarl Valley. The start of the cross-country ski trail is within a few minutes’ walk from the GROSSARLER HOF. 25km of cross-country 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 progress their technique – why not benefit from the experts’ useful tips and advice? Equipment is available for hire from the local sports store in Grossarl. Experience the unique atmosphere of a winter’s night during a torch-lit walk to the Mooslehenalm Alpine lodge. As you arrive, you are welcomed with warming mulled wine, punch and small campfires. Following a tour of the lodge we don headlamps and make the return trip by toboggan to the GROSSARLER HOF where a delicious dinner awaits!
As a partner business of the BERG-GESUND Association, guests of the GROSSARLER HOF can enjoy free guided ski tours with state approved mountain guides – high altitude ski touring is also available for skilled and experienced ski tourers. Rental equipment is available at the sports shop in Grossarl. Tour dates and details www.berg-gesund.at

ENERGY SERENITY INNER PEACE VITALITY
Relaxation, deep inner peace and equilibrium – the Erlenreich Relax & SPA is the venue for the Yoga sessions on offer twice weekly as part of our activity programme. We also organise two annual Yoga retreats with Anastasia Stoyannides. Anastasia Stoyannides is a qualified Hatha Yoga bien tempéré teacher whose 28-year career has taken her all over Europe. The bien tempéré method was developed by Eva Ruchpaul in Paris, and concentrates on the individual needs of participants. It teaches us to express movement on the basis of simplicity, elegance and self-esteem in order to achieve harmonious wellbeing and a sense of holistic vitality. ‘Bien tempéré is taxing, but not overtaxing’ says Anastasia Stoyannides: ‘You learn to treat your body and restless mind with wisdom and gentleness, thereby finding serenity and poise’. The focus is on exploring and discovering our bodies and breath, on experiencing the range of our mobility – and on integrating the knowledge we acquire into our everyday lives.

SUMMER IN THE VALLEY OF ALPINE MEADOWS
30
DIVE IN & ENJOY
MOUNTAINEERING, WALKING & WONDERFUL FOOD Mountain and valley highlights
The Schödersee at the head of the valley in Hüttschlag is the only periodic lake in the Hohe Tauern National Park. It only fills up during snowmelt and after particularly heavy downpours. In the interim it disappears completely, and all that remains in the broad basin is a small stream that eventually vanishes amongst a few rocks. Picturesque and authentic – two holiday requirements that Grossarl’s Alpine meadows certainly meet… The sound of cowbells is audible from afar and tells of a vibrant farming community, rich Alpine soil, fragrant herbs, the freshness of the water as it dances over the rocks... it’s a promise of Alpine idyll and tasty cheese – and it delivers on its promises. Around 40 mountain huts line the Salzburger Almenweg. These were built to take care of livestock in their summer pastures – today, they look after hikers too. Inspirational and meaningful – walking means becoming one with yourself, your thoughts, the environment and nature. There are many places where hikers can find peace and solitude along the 17.5km Chapel Path. Space and time for yourself: experience life intensely and with relish...
Energetic, leisurely, adventurous or relaxed – make your own way through picturesque scenery and majestic peaks along 250km of signposted paths. The Grossarl Valley was awarded the ‘Austrian hiking seal of approval’ and has won several awards as the most successful destination in the Alpine region.

The National Park at your fingertips On nature’s trail: flowering meadows, rushing streams and majestic summits provide the magnificent backdrop to unique holiday experiences. All around the GROSSARLER HOF, 10,000 animal species and 1,800 plant species have their natural and secure habitat in the 1,856sqkm Hohe Tauern National Park, the largest national park in the Alps. Go wildlife watching with national park rangers, see Alpine animal species and find out about the Alpine flora, geology and climate: from A for Alpine marmot to Z for zander. In between, hear the marmots whistle and watch the ibex jump from rock to rock... www.hohetauern.at

On the menu you’ll find fresh mountain butter and cheese, homemade bread and of course the famous Stamperl of Schnapps, making you forget the strenuous climb instantly. What stays in the memory are the friendly people, the breathtaking views and of course the Jause, our typical and scrumptious snacks!

‘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.
10 reasons why you should go fly fishing in the Grossarl Valley: · Amazing variety of waterways: from fast to slow waters · Crystal clear waters · There is virtually no meltwater in Lake Oetzl · You can even sight fish · Lake Oetzl is a great location for practising and taking lessons · Excellent fish stock: char, trout and grayling · Compact waters: fishing is even available directly outside the hotel · Fishing waters are suitable for beginners · Unique scenery · Dry fly fishing, nymph fishing and streamer fishing – every technique goes!

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’s 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 walk around the valley is organised by the BERG-GESUND Association.
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!

HARVEST FESTIVAL The Grossarl Valley is at its most atmospheric during autumn. A wide variety of events, concerts and festivals brings you closer to our region’s heritage. Sample farming products, experience regional traditions and immerse yourself in living folk culture. THE GREAT TASTE OF CULTURE: the Karseggalm is 400 years old and thus the oldest mountain hut in the Grossarl Valley. There is no electricity, the floor is bare clay, and a copper cauldron hangs over the open fire – the farming life at the Karseggalm remains as in years gone by, and their cheeses are also made the old-fashioned way... Once a week visitors can watch the dairymen as they make smoked ‘Knetkäse’ as well as the region’s famous sour cheese.
