The resort also provides easily accessible drinking water throughout the hotel that flows from their own Alpine spring.
There’s plenty of organic produce on every menu, and a full vegan menu available at every mealtime. Kombucha, green juices, gut friendly sprouts and cress served at every buffet (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Not only in the spa and outdoor activities but also in the food and drink. There is also huge focus on wellness and health here. Their R50 menu which is available at breakfast, the lobby bar and at dinner serves dishes that have ingredients only sourced from within a 50km radius using nearby produce from local farmers. Turbot, pickled carrots and potato roulade from the R50 menu. Whilst it is clear that Fortusgut’s focus is on indulgence and luxury this doesn’t compromise their eco conscious and sustainable practices throughout the hotel, especially with food. The most spectacular view in the spa is from the heated outdoor pool looking out at the mountains blanketed in thick white snow. Daily at 3pm indulge in a complimentary facial mud mask in the second floor sauna, or at any time of day book yourself a relaxing treatment in the family spa where an array of massages and lymphatic treatments are available (additional cost). On the hour the sauna and steam room have different fruit salt scrubs and peels on offer. Without the need for additional treatments you can still fully indulge in the complimentary offerings of the spa. The Finnish Sauna on the top floor boasts spectacular views out over the snowcapped mountains. Saunas, steam rooms, heated outdoor and indoor pools, whirlpools, treatment rooms and relaxation rooms make up this fantastic spa. Forstufgut’s award winning waldSPA is a three storey marvellous creation. The spa:Īs well as Christmas, it’s very obvious the Austrians know how do a good spa. With the short amount of time we had there we decided a cosy and relaxing winter break enjoying the amenities the resort has on offer was exactly what we needed. Your holiday is what you make of it, some prefer to have an adventurous week of skiing, whilst others opt for a relaxing spa break.
Couples, families and groups of friends all visit Forsthofgut for different reasons. Upon arrival we knew we were about to enjoy a wonderful two days in our own little bubble. *We visited Austria with the Salzburg tourism board and were hosted by Natur Forsthofgut during our stay.* Surrounded by breathtaking views of the Alps, this luxurious nature resort with its traditional alpine architecture, sleek spa and cosy cabin vibes is the perfect winter relaxing getaway. Fortshofgut is the epitome of Alpine chic. This sustainable and luxurious hotel is nestled away in Leogang, just an hour’s drive from Salzburg airport. Our perfect little hideaway for the weekend was Hotel Natur Forsthofgut. We spent last weekend in a real life winter wonderland in Austria.
I am all about getting in the festive spirit and there really is no better place to do this than in the country that certainly knows how to do Christmas very well.
