An alpine nature retreat

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Cradled at the edge of the Austrian Alps, Naturhotel Forsthofgut feels like a storybook retreat where mountain and meadow meet. This 17th-century forest farmstead has been stewarded by the same family for more than 400 years, and today, that heritage shapes the entire experience. Here, you’re greeted not just by timbered architecture and alpine air but by an atmosphere that blends rustic authenticity with refined comfort.

The wellness journey is at the heart of Naturhotel Forsthofgut, where waldSPA draws inspiration from the surrounding forest. Imagine floating in a heated outdoor pool amid peaks rising in the distance, or surrendering to herbal treatments infused with alpine botanicals. Trails lead directly from the hotel into pine-scented woods, inviting morning hikes and meditative strolls. Afterward, enjoy contemporary rooms, lined with natural wood and wide windows, that overlook the very landscapes that define the luxury hotel’s spirit.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Naturhotel Forsthofgut sits at the edge of hiking and ski routes, meaning adventure begins the moment you step outside. In summer, wildflower paths beckon; come winter, ski-in/ski-out convenience reigns.
At all three of the hotel’s restaurants, ingredients are sourced from certified regional producers, with menus shifting to match the seasons. Vegan dishes and conscious reduction are at the forefront of the dining ethos here, meaning every meal is served with purpose.
waldSPA, Europe’s first forest-inspired spa, uses alpine herbs, pine oils and mountain spring water to create treatments that feel rooted and restorative. Outdoor saunas open onto woodland clearings, so every inhale carries the scent of spruce.
A year-round heated outdoor pool stretches toward the Leogang Mountains. Floating here at sunset, with snow-capped mountains reflected in the water, feels like slipping into a postcard.
A forest kindergarten, treehouses and supervised outdoor adventures make younger travelers part of the alpine rhythm. Parents find peace knowing playtime is joyful and in nature.

The Rooms

Interiors are crafted from local larch, spruce and stone, so every surface feels rooted in the area landscape. Wide windows frame forest or mountain views, blurring indoors with out.
Each room category reflects the property’s heritage as a “forest farmstead,” from farmhouse-influenced suites to sleek modern chalets. Staying here feels like inhabiting a chapter of the hotel’s history.
Wool textiles, sheepskin throws and contemporary Austrian craftsmanship create a modern lodge aesthetic. The result is stylish yet unmistakably steered by the mountains.
Many rooms come with private balconies that catch sunrise over Leogang’s peaks. It’s an invitation to linger outdoors, even in a robe with morning coffee.
Select suites have private saunas or soaking tubs positioned by picture windows. The bi-level Garden Loft Suite features both, offering a spa escape without having to leave the comfort of your room.
