Naturhotel Forsthofgut (Leogang, Austria) Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"For four centuries and five generations, the Schmucks have been quietly beautifying Naturhotel Forsthofgut, their alpine hideaway just west of Leogang. Part of the property is still given over to their farms and stable, and they’ve planted much of the forest on their grounds themselves. The extensive spa includes multiple aquatic environments and relaxation areas. Rooms and suites are split between several buildings and feature cozy blonde wood, minimalist alpine decor, and furnished balconies to take in the stunning views." - Tablet Hotels

Naturhotel Forsthofgut Review | Hotels Above Par

"Perched in the Austrian Alps in Leogang, Salzburgerland, this five-star, family-owned retreat—reborn from a 1617 farm by the Schmuck family—melds luxury, wellness, and unspoiled mountain scenery. The property offers 109 elegantly appointed rooms and suites plus a secluded Alpine Hut, yet never feels overwhelming; its 54-acre estate includes the on-site Mauthof Farm with a children’s farm, riding stables, a kids’ club, playground and petting zoo that make it family-friendly while remaining peaceful for couples. Wellness is central: an award-winning forest-inspired waldSPA and a tranquil Lake House spa (multiple saunas noted for their calming effect) anchor rest and rejuvenation, alongside indoor and outdoor pools and a fully equipped fitness center. Culinary offerings range from Austrian classics at Restaurant 1617 to creative cocktails at the Botanist Bar and a forest-themed weinWALD wine cellar; Mizūmi provides elegant Japanese fare (the miso soup is a comfort on gloomy days), while the intimate 10-seat Silva serves two seasonal tasting menus—Forest (e.g., braised mountain ox, local brook trout) and Meadow (e.g., pickled mushroom stew, hazelnut crêpes)—under Chef Michael Helfrich, who emphasizes fermenting, smoking and waste reduction. Open year-round, summers bring outdoor yoga, hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding, and winters offer ski-in/ski-out access to the Saalbach‑Hinterglemm‑Leogang‑Fieberbrunn ski area. Sustainability is embedded throughout—initiatives like waldLIEBE capture roughly 500 tons of CO₂ annually and about 70% of vegetables come from nearby organic farms. Nightly rates start at approximately $375, and Salzburg Airport is about 1.5 hours away by car."

An exceptional resort experience from start to finish. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is simply wonderful — calm, elegant, and perfectly designed for relaxation. The spa facilities are excellent, and the massage services were truly outstanding, providing a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. The dining environment is equally impressive, with a beautiful setting and highly recommended cuisine. Every meal was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. This hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable getaway.

This was our fourth stay and delighted that the hotel is still at the top of its game. The food in general was exceptional and the five course dinner menu in particular keeps throwing up wonderful surprises. We miss the old “chef’s special” mid afternoon service but equally got used to the new arrangements thanks to the warmth and generosity of the staff. We had a charming host for dinner in the Red Salon, Yassin, who made us comfortable and kept us well entertained. Thank you to everyone involved for making it another memorable experience.

We had a wonderful stay at Naturhotel Forsthofgut and would happily return. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a calm, luxurious atmosphere and fantastic facilities. One of the biggest highlights is the location — it’s practically ski-in ski-out, which made getting on and off the slopes incredibly easy and stress-free, especially after a long day of skiing. The spa and wellness areas are outstanding and really elevate the whole experience, making it feel like a true alpine retreat. The rooms were comfortable, well-designed, and spotlessly clean. The only downside was that service during dinner and in the lounge area was a little inattentive. At times it was difficult to get staff attention, which slightly took away from what is otherwise a very high-end experience. Overall though, this is a fantastic hotel in an unbeatable location, and with more consistent service it would be close to perfect.

I don't want to say anything......as I want to keep this secret to myself. We went for a late autumn romantic break. What an amazing hotel. The staff all want to work there. You can see it in their smiles. The owners/managers have trained all their staff as a career. Not a stop gap job. And what a difference it makes. The food is fantastic. Went to the buffet and all three adjoining restaurants for dinner. Outstanding. The thought and care gone into each dish. Again staff fantastic. Activities galore, so much to do. You must go hiking with Claus. What a character. What a genuine person. What knowledgable and enthusiastic person. We thought we made a big mistake going in school half-term for a romantic break. There were children everywhere having fun. However, once again the owners thought this hotel through. Break out places for kids and adults. Not just small places but vast areas of comfort and relaxation. So very well put together. Well done. I've not seen this achieved so well, very unique. Thanks for a great vacation back for the skiing.

It has been exactly one year today since we visited Naturhotel Forsthofgut. This review is long overdue, but every time sat down to write, I simply could not find the words that appropriately express the incredible time we had & how welcome we felt at this amazing resort nestled in the Alps of such a beautiful country. I won't ramble on but the staff was nothing but extraordinary. Anna, Cecilia and team at reception were warm, welcoming and knowledgeable. They gave us many ideas for daily road trips & exquisite hikes. The restaurant staff went above & beyond to accommodate my many allergies, which was of concern to me when visiting an off-the-beaten path area in Western Europe. They have an entire pantry dedicated to homemade breads, pretzels, muffins, pastries, etc, all carefully noted with allergy information! Raul & Christoph were not only sweet & funny, but went out of their way to make sure we understood all menu options, recommended their favorites, & provide the best wine & Stiegl pours we have ever seen, not to mention, so SO personable! We enjoyed the common dining area so much that we didn't get to explore the on-site restaurants that I'm sure are just outrageous (next time!) & Let's not forget our room. Thinking I was booking a closet down some hall, we were shown to our room upon check-in: an absolutely stunning oasis, with terrace overlooking Stone mountain, with huge bathroom, & the most comfortable bed we have every slept on. This trip was one for the books & we can't thank the staff enough. One year later, we still dream of this trip & hope for another opportunity to visit in the near future.

Everything was incredible! We came with a baby but were blown away but all the options there were for kids (we're thinking of returning someday!). So many other thoughtful details and too many great amenities to list but a few that really stood out: - incredible food; we've never had a better breakfast buffet - great, professional staff - very well equipped gym - the view is unreal

Their primary branding is as a Nature Hotel but then if you read the fine print it is a Family Hotel. The moment you arrive, it is overrun with children screaming and running around. They have an adults only area but even those are overrun by families.l and the adults areas are smaller and sad. Get ready to wake up at 7am by children running outside your hotel room door screaming for mommy and daddy. A children was at one point literally licking the original Anselm Kiefer artwork hanging in the lobby! Furthermore, their Instagram is highly misleading; showing serenity and peace in nature. I assure you there is none of that at this hotel due to it be overrun by screaming children. Be prepared to see people dine in their robes and flip flops. Tacky and tasteless. Truls Blaasmo

10/10, a very unique experience, no matter the season. views are stunning, spa one of the best I visited, its a place to not leave for the whole stay, you have everything. Make sure you come prepared for a decent ride there, its on a tall mountain, the ride was beautiful specially for tourists, but be prepared to drive. Make sure to come on time so you will have time to do a tour and check in properly, probably 1 hour before the actual check in threshold .
