The view as it is from the summer from the balcony of the Fortsthofalm hotel.

In an ironic twist, a developer recently built a brand new four star hotel, at the Austrian resort of Leogang near Salzburg, made entirely out a wood as a way to reduce the environmental imprint. Continue reading ‘Austrian builder incorporates environment with hotel’

Description

Sharing the Saalbach – Hinterglemm ski area, Leogang offers the best of both worlds – a delightful little village with excellent nursery slopes, and the option of a huge lift-linked ski area, suiting all standards, on the doorstep.

Review

Leogang is a pretty, traditional village with a strong cultural identity. Located in the Pizgauer area of Austria the mixture of old and new building have been tastefully integrated and are loosely centred on its village church with its onion-domed tower.

For skiers looking to escape from over-developped modern ski resorts but still wanting the facilities of a big modern resort it offers the twin benefits of being a cosy, picturesque little village but well connected to the huge and popular Saalbach Hinterglemm ski circus. It also has a reputation for being far more reasonably priced than its larger neighbours. The resort has a particularly good snow record for its altitude and is easy to reach from Salzburg.
