Das Edelweiss – Salzburg Mountain Resort: greetings from the front desk
Großarl in the Pongau carries the nickname “valley of the Alpine pastures” — nowhere in the Alps do more working Alpine pastures lie together. In the middle of this valley the Hettegger family has, over three generations, turned a small inn with a café into the five-star resort Das Edelweiss: a large house that deliberately separates adult retreat and family holiday from each other.
Two spa worlds under one roof. The adults-only mountain spa offers an extensive sauna landscape with a panoramic sauna, an infinity pool, a salt-water outdoor pool and rest rooms with a mountain view. The family mountain spa addresses all generations — with indoor and sports pools, a baby pool and an indoor slide park with five slides over three floors. Add a heated outdoor pool and a large indoor pool.
Valley of the Alpine pastures. Großarl is a hiking and ski resort of original character; the Großarltal-Dorfgastein ski area connects it with the Gastein valley. Three generations of host tradition shape the house — a resort meant equally for couples, families and friends, and one of the Leading Spa Resorts.
Two separate spa worlds
Das Edelweiss runs two wellness areas: the adults-only mountain spa offers a panoramic sauna, an infinity pool, a salt-water outdoor pool and rest rooms with a mountain view. The family mountain spa adds indoor and sports pools, a baby pool and an indoor slide park with five slides over three floors. Add a heated outdoor pool and a large indoor pool, plus massages and beauty treatments.
Hiking and skiing in Großarl
Großarl counts as the “valley of the Alpine pastures” — one of the pasture-richest landscapes in the Alps, ideal for hiking. In winter the Großarltal-Dorfgastein ski area connects the resort with the Gastein valley. The resort is the base for active mountain days in a still original valley.
Rooms and suites
The rooms and suites are generous and furnished in an Alpine-elegant style, many with a balcony and a view of the valley. As a house with three generations of host tradition Das Edelweiss combines five-star comfort with a family atmosphere.
Location in Großarl
The resort lies on the Unterbergstraße in Großarl in the Pongau, in the Großarl valley. The Gastein valley with Bad Gastein, the Hohe Tauern National Park and the city of Salzburg are within reach.

Frequently asked questions about the hotel
How are the spa areas divided?
Into two separate worlds: an adults-only mountain spa with a panoramic sauna, an infinity pool, a salt-water outdoor pool and rest rooms — and a family mountain spa with indoor and sports pools, a baby pool and an indoor slide park with five slides over three floors.
Is Das Edelweiss suited to families and to couples?
To both — precisely because the adult and family areas are separate. Couples find calm in the adults-only spa, families the right programme in the family spa. The house is one of the Leading Spa Resorts.
What does “valley of the Alpine pastures” mean?
The Großarl valley carries this nickname because nowhere in the Alps do more working Alpine pastures lie together. It is an original hiking and ski valley in the Pongau, neighbouring the Gastein valley.
Where is the resort?
