"Moving with the times without forgetting our roots. From vision to reality. Your 5 star hotel in Austria.

Relaxing in bed and looking at the idyllic mountain panorama - wow!

The thoughtful design of the new rooms & suites is absolutely "high class" with natural materials

Nestled

Nestled impressively in the Großarl Valley, DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort is the perfect ski-in, ski-out location in winter and the best starting point for hikes to the region's many alpine huts in summer. Expanded into a resort in 2020, the hotel is a particular favorite of ours: it wonderfully combines traditional values ​​with a creative and 360° state-of-the-art hotel experience! As a guest, you'll always feel warmly welcomed by the Hettegger family, who run the hotel, and at the same time, you'll experience luxurious culinary delights, wellness, and design at the highest international level. The charming family members breathe life into the spacious hotel, and typical Austrian hospitality awaits you in every area. Families, in particular, will find a place to be happy, lean back and relax.

The lobby shines in golden light and becomes a center for aperitifs, card games, and fine après-ski in winter.

THE NECTAR

THE NECTAR

The resort is centrally located and directly on the mountain. In winter, you can sit in the heated and exclusive adults-only pool and watch the skiers on the slopes; in summer, you can watch the gondolas glide past lush green meadows towards the summit. The atmosphere inside is quite different: spacious, open spaces, golden lights, and light fabrics create a sophisticated coziness.

The wellness area truly leaves nothing to be desired: various saunas, relaxation areas with heated waterbeds, and luxurious comfort "berths" for the whole family right by the pool. Families can frolic in the indoor pool, athletes can swim laps in the outdoor pool, and those who enjoy the outdoors can relax in the heated adults-only infinity pool. This way, everyone has their own exclusive space.

The cuisine is a top priority, typical of Austria. Three restaurants, an excellent Sushi Bar and the wine bar are available every evening, and their interiors alone are absolutely high-class and also quite diverse in style. In the main restaurant, three new menus are available daily, and head chef Alex Hettegger ensures mouthwatering dishes. Sophisticated and creative, yet deliver what you would expect from classic Austrian cuisine. Kids even get their own meal earlier in the evening, before many disappear off to the kids' club while their parents enjoy their meal in peace. Other must-visit options include the fine dining restaurant and the very popular Sirloin steak restaurant!

Good Morning!

Both in winter and in

summer you can enjoy the mountains

The breakfast at DAS EDELWEISS is so delicious! Almost everything is regional and a lot made freshly on-site.

After breakfast, we love to take a dip in the pool. The outdoor pool is perfect for swimming laps in peace.

In the afternoon you can choose between delicious cakes and excellent sushi.

Time to splash around for the whole family

THE PULSE

THE PULSE

The region offers plenty of fun and adventure in every season. And yet, it's so tempting to simply spend wonderful days "just" at the hotel. Special attention is paid to breakfast. Fresh regional produce makes all the difference here (the hotel even has its own butcher shop!). In addition to the fantastic buffet offerings, don't forget the à la carte dishes: incredibly delicious waffles, traditional white sausages, or a deliciously creative eggs Benedict always leave you wanting more!

Later on, you definitely shouldn't miss the slides! The slide paradise stretches across three floors. From the tire slide and small children's slides to the steep high-speed slide, everyone will find their favorite. Of course, the timer is also timed. Whoever beats the lifeguard gets a free drink 😉

And so you can spend the whole day with sauna sessions, spa treatments, yoga sessions, and relaxing on the waterbeds before getting ready for an aperitif in the wine bar in the evening. That's what "Happy at DAS EDELWEISS" means. It's also perfect for parents who want to spend some time together as a couple: the kids' club is fantastic, for all ages! – while the parents can finally go to the sauna together or take a dip in the pool.

The house has its own, very elegant "ski cellar," although the word doesn't do justice to the space. Ski-in, ski-out at its best!

You can enjoy wonderful hikes. Daniel Hettegger also offers guided tours.

An absolute highlight is the slide park, which stretches across three floors! Even as an adult, you'll be sure to push your limits on the steep "high-speed slide." It's incredible fun!

Beautiful in all seasons

New spacious family suites

with private pools

From bed to pool – what more could you want?

Must Do

+ First things first: warm conversations with many members of the Hettegger family and the fantastic team

+ Whether with or without kids: the new slide park is already legendary!

+ Waffles and/or Eggs Benedict for breakfast

+ Sauna infusion with Daniel Hettegger followed by a dip in the cold pool

+ Shopping in the in-house boutique with owner Karin Hettegger

+ Aperitif and small talk with Hans Hettegger at the bar – when in doubt, just trust the hotel's recommendation

+ Dine in the in-house steak restaurant

The in-house wine bar offers wine or rum tastings with love and expertise.

The cocktail bar is the second highlight for an aperitif

The way to a person's heart is through their stomach, and so chef Alex Hettegger conjures up 97/100 Fallstaff points on the plates

The whole Hettegger family looks forward to your visit!

ABOUT HOTELS WITH SOUL

Hotels with Soul by NECTAR & PULSE is a personal collection of our favourite hotels around the globe. They have two things in common: soul and passion. Some serve the best coffee we’ve ever tasted. Some the comfiest beds and linen. Some have a sauna in the woods and delicious home-made jams. Others have a butler available 24/7 or a hunter ready to take you on a hunt. One has a library where you’ll want to while away the hours, another one a kitchen stocked with the best midnight snacks.

What they all have in common is great design, friendly people, and authenticity. We call it the NECTAR & PULSE vibe. It’s that feeling where it’s so comfortable, it almost feels home, but you feel like there’s so much to learn, see, and do. These are the places that make you think to yourself, “there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.” Hotels with Soul are the ultimate destination for curious travellers with a good taste. Discover their story. Experience their soul.

WANT TO JOIN OUR COLLECTION OF SOULFUL HOTELS?

We love to discover new places and to add more beautiful places to our collection. If you think that your hotel reflects our philosophy, please get in touch with us at hello@nectarandpulse.com. We are happy to give you further information, our media kit and our terms. We are looking forward to get to know you and eventually to work together.
