MOUNTAINS TO THE LEFT, MOUNTAINS TO THE RIGHT. And in the middle: the Grossarl Valley.

Summer holidays in the alps: Simply wonderful.

When summer in Austria is in full swing, there is probably nowhere more beautiful than an alpine pasture. Lush grass and alpine flowers, mountain peaks and cool lakes: suddenly you realise how lucky you truly are. It is a wonderful feeling to hike from one mountain to the next, or just stroll around in the soft green grass on your summer holiday in the Alps. After all, it’s not without reason that the Grossarl Valley is also known as the “Valley of Alpine Pastures”.

Colourful, warm, gorgeous. Here in the Grossarl Valley, summer consists of bright sunshine, charming alpine pastures and plenty of exercise in the fresh mountain air. Can you hear your summer holiday in the Alps calling already?

Colourful - yes, that's how we like it - and the magnificent mountain world with its colourful alpine pastures and rugged peaks enchants us anew every day! You can hike until your feet burn on your summer holiday with us - enjoy the wonderfully fresh mountain air in the midst of unspoilt nature and discover crystal-clear mountain lakes or mystical waterfalls on around 400 km of well-marked hiking trails.

Pure summer adventure in the mountains!

Here you go - of course we also have action & adventure in Salzburger Land! Whether it's mountaineering, climbing or a speedy mountain bike ride down the mountain - on holiday in Grossarltal, everyone will find just the right workout. And for those who prefer to climb the mountains at a more leisurely pace on their summer holiday, the mountain lifts in the surrounding area are at your disposal. 

Stop, not so fast! Time for a break!

Allow yourself some time to catch your breath during your active holiday! If you are exploring the region on foot or by mountain bike, you should also take a break to recharge your batteries. And where better to do this than at one of the 40 mountain huts? From traditional to down-to-earth, numerous delicacies such as Grossarl sour cheese or home-smoked bacon with fresh farmhouse bread await you! Mmmhhh, even our mouths are watering!

There is a lot to experience & discover

Salzburger Land is one of the most beautiful federal states in Austria. If you swap your hiking boots or sun lounger for a day and take a short round trip through Salzburger Land, you will be amazed.

Excursions & attractions in summer

Just an hour's drive from Grossarl is the famous Mozart city of Salzburg with its cultural sights. Visit the "Hohensalzburg" fortress with a view over the city, take a leisurely stroll through the Getreidegasse, past Mozart's birthplace or visit Hellbrunn Palace with its trick fountains and zoo.

Or how about a trip to the impressive "Krimmler Wasslerfälle"? On the way there, you should make a stopover in the historic town of Zell am See and at the unique reservoirs in Kaprun. Fancy winter in summer? Then a trip to the glacier on the Kitzsteinhorn is well worthwhile. From the very top - the glacier - it's down below the mountain! You can do both in Salzburger Land, as the world's oldest show mine, the "Salzwelten in Hallein", invites you to explore the mountain.

Whether as a couple or on an excursion with the children - your summer holiday in Salzburger Land is guaranteed to inspire you. You will find the best relaxation after an excursion into the surrounding area and time to make plans for the next day of your holiday at the Wellnesshotel Nesslerhof.

Open the room door - feel-good mode on!

Enjoy holiday bliss de luxe in our stylishly furnished double rooms and suites! Large, bright, friendly, modern and always with the breathtaking mountain panorama close enough to touch. Your night is guaranteed to be restful and getting up in the morning all the more enjoyable!

Time out with wellness & enjoyment

Summer holiday in Salzburger Land

A place in the sun, swimming in a refreshing swimming pond, relaxing and unwinding ... - and people who read your wishes from your eyes is your idea of your next summer holiday? What luck - we have just the thing for you!

Wellness in summer? Isn't that too hot? No, not at all - we actually think it's great, because in our 3,000 m² garden, our natural swimming pond invites you to swim and splash around in the refreshing water! Or how about a few laps in the panoramic indoor pool or the outdoor pool with bubble loungers? It's hard to choose with so many options. Best of all - one after the other and a visit to our sauna area with 5 saunas and steam baths in between. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Nesslerhof moments of pleasure 

Non-stop enjoyment - everything that makes a holiday perfect

A day out in the fresh air - whether in the mountains or in the valley by the pool - makes you happy and helps you forget the stress of everyday life very quickly. It must be the people and nature. We "Gästeflüsterer" say: It's probably a little bit of everything. Plus: the food! Because if you've ever come back from a mountain tour with a growling stomach or spent your energy swimming in the pools, the 2 toque-awarded cuisine at our wellness hotel in Grossarl tastes even better.

Pampering - we "Gästeflüsterer" were truly born into this world and we love what we do! Whether you're a gourmet or a lover of classic dishes - our gourmet kitchen, awarded 2 hoods by Gault Millau, will spoil you to your heart's content and conjure up wonderful creations and culinary highlights with lots of love on your plate every day.

One thing is particularly important to us: the quality and origin of our products. That's why much of our produce comes from regional suppliers and our own butcher's shop!
