Austria’s leading 5* family resort, Naturhotel Forsthofgut in Leogang near Salzburg in Austria, has opened a new retreat in a secluded corner their expansive Alpine estate. Set in its own 2-acre plot, the Thoman Alm is an enchanting 4-bedroom chalet offering families, couples or a small group of friends the chance to enjoy undisturbed privacy and solitude in nature.

The traditional Alpine-style cabin is a delightful rustic-chic chalet where local wood furnishings and contemporary appliances create a cosy and comfortable living space. With no wireless connection, it’s a rare opportunity to switch off and embrace the off-grid experience, swapping screen time for scenery and ringtone for birdsong. Naturhotel Forsthofgut’s new bolthole is a charge point for body and soul.

Step outside for a stroll or a more challenging hike through the magical Alpine landscape of forest and meadows beneath a theatre of snowy peaks, pausing to savour the rich variety of scents and sounds along the way.
