The Four Seasons at Moar Gut

Every season has its own unique magic. As a year-round resort, we have the pleasure of welcoming families to Moar Gut throughout the year. In winter, when skiing, tobogganing and playing in the snow are at their best. In spring, when nature slowly comes back to life. In summer, when the mountains offer a refreshing escape on warm days. And in autumn, when nature reveals its most beautiful colours and everything begins to slow down again.

But which season is the most beautiful for a family holiday in the Salzburg mountains? We believe each one is special in its very own way.

In this blog post, we share our personal highlights of the four seasons and reveal what makes a holiday at Moar Gut in winter, spring, summer and autumn so special.

Winter Holidays at Moar Gut

What makes winter at Moar Gut so special? The snow-covered landscape surrounding the resort, precious time together in the snow and the cosy warmth indoors. While the Salzburg mountains outside are blanketed in white, little skiers can practise their first turns, families can enjoy tobogganing together or simply head out for a walk through the snow. Afterwards, it’s time to warm up again – in the Natur Spa, the Kinderhof or your cosy family suite.

Our 5 Winter Highlights

• Skiing right at the resort: Beginners can practise their first turns with our qualified ski instructors right at our own ski lift and magic carpet.
• Großarltal-Dorfgastein ski area: Our private ski shuttle conveniently takes guests to the ski area, just around 3 km from the resort, and back again.
• Natur Spa: Saunas and cosy relaxation rooms invite you to warm up and unwind after a winter’s day outdoors.
• Cosy nature suites: Plenty of wood, natural materials and a welcoming atmosphere create a wonderful sense of warmth and comfort. For an extra cosy stay, choose one of our nature suites with a fireplace, such as the Paradeisa Loft or Liebstöckl Loft.
• Indoor adventures: Our climbing hall, sports hall, trampoline hall, exergaming room and Natur Kinderhof with its golden ball pit and much mor

Spring in the Salzburg Mountains

Nature slowly awakens from its winter slumber. The first flowers begin to bloom, the days grow longer and the sun becomes warmer. It’s a wonderful time to spend more time outdoors again, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin and discover nature together. All around Moar Gut, everything starts to blossom, and there is plenty for little explorers to experience on our organic farm too.

Our 5 Spring Highlights

• Walks along the Großarler Ache: Head out together and enjoy the fresh mountain air.
• Horse riding: Explore the beautiful surroundings of the resort on a trail ride or a pony walk.
• Small animal farm: Chickens, rabbits, goats, sheep, alpacas and many other farm animals look forward to welcoming curious little visitors throughout the year.
• The first warm days outdoors: As the spring sunshine grows warmer, little ones and grown-ups alike are drawn outside into the garden and surrounding nature.
• Natur Spa: After an active day outdoors, soothing warmth and relaxing moments await.

Summer Holidays in the Mountains

Summer in the mountains, just the way we love it. When temperatures rise in the valley, the Salzburg mountains offer fresh air and a welcome escape from the heat. Run barefoot through the meadows, jump into the natural swimming lake, explore the mountains or simply spend a summer’s day by the water. A summer holiday at Moar Gut means one thing above all: plenty of time outdoors.

Our 5 Summer Highlights

• Cooling off in the natural swimming lake: On warm summer days, there’s hardly anything better than jumping into the refreshing water.
• Yoga with mountain views: On our panoramic platform, movement and tranquillity come together against the beautiful backdrop of the Salzburg mountains.
• Archery & tennis:  Those who like to stay active on holiday will find plenty of opportunities right at the resort.
• Into the mountains with our Icelandic horses: A scenic trail ride takes you through the mountains and up to an alpine hut – including a stop for Kaiserschmarren.
• Comfortable nights: With air conditioning in every suite, you can enjoy a comfortable night’s sleep even after warm summer days.

Autumn Holidays in the Salzburg Region

Life slowly begins to quieten down again. The days grow shorter, the air becomes crisper and nature reveals its most beautiful shades of yellow, red and orange. Autumn in the Salzburg mountains is a special time for families who love being outdoors while also enjoying the cosy side of a holiday. Start the morning with a walk in the crisp mountain air, take a dip in the warm water in the afternoon and end the day feeling completely relaxed.

Our 5 Autumn Highlights

• Hiking with beautiful views: The clear autumn air often provides particularly impressive long-distance views when hiking through the Salzburg mountains.
• Swimming in the heated pool: In our heated 25-metre outdoor pool, you can enjoy the mountain scenery from the water even on cooler autumn days.
• Creative time at the Natur Kinderhof: In our workshop and art studio, children can get creative with natural materials and make their own unique works of art.
• Visiting our farm animals: Goats, sheep, rabbits, alpacas and many other animal residents are simply part of a holiday at Moar Gut.
• Baking bread & making butter: Together with farmer Eva, our little guests discover how simple ingredients can be turned into something truly delicious.

Which Season Will It Be?

Snowflakes in winter, the first warm rays of sunshine in spring, a refreshing dip in the natural swimming lake in summer or a hike through the colourful autumn landscape: every season tells its own story at Moar Gut. And perhaps there’s no need to choose just one.

No matter when you spend your family holiday with us in the Salzburg mountains, shared experiences and plenty of precious time together await you all year round.
