Großarl, Austria
Pine-clad cabin suites open onto the Großarltal meadows at 1,700 metres, where Moar Gut's own farm, hunting grounds and riding stables shape every season.
Pine-clad cabin suites open onto green Alpine meadows in the Großarltal valley. Warm timber walls frame views of the Hohe Tauern peaks. Inside, green-tiled fireplaces glow against handcrafted interiors where old farmhouse structure meets contemporary form. The architecture at Moar Gut respects its agricultural roots, layering modern design onto original volumes with natural stone and local wood. Seventy kilometers from Salzburg, the air carries silence and the scent of mountain pasture.Four generations of the Kendlbacher family have shaped Moar Gut from a working farm into a five-star Familien Natur Resort. Elisabeth and Josef Kendlbacher began the transformation in the 1990s. Today, Amely, Thomas, and Nora Lipp continue their philosophy of "loving luxury for families", a gentle, mindful approach where meaningful experience replaces excess.
Moar Gut sits at nearly 1,700 meters in the Salzburg Alps, with its own organic farm and riding stables on site. Children meet goats and horses at the small-animal farm, building connections with Alpine wildlife daily. Icelandic horses carry riders along mountain trails in summer and pull traditional sleighs through snow-covered meadows in winter. The resort's Kinderlift and Skiwiese give young skiers their first turns, while the Langlaufloipe offers cross-country skiing across the high-altitude terrain. Families can book the private cinema for a film night with popcorn and drinks. Nora Lipp's creative vision extends to hands-on nature workshops where guests arrange dried flowers into art on canvas.

Senior Chef Ferd sources wild game from Moar Gut's own hunting grounds in the Großarltal. The organic farm supplies eggs, herbs, and dairy alongside produce from regional Salzburger Land partners. Each evening, a six-course menu transforms these ingredients into carefully composed plates. The Chef's Table seats up to four guests inside the working kitchen, where dishes take shape at arm's length. Beyond the main dining room, Moar Gut stages meals by the natural swimming lake and on the Panorama Platform high above the resort. Breakfast showcases farmstead products and regional delicacies. A dedicated children's buffet and 24-hour baby bar with organic purées ensure the youngest guests eat well too.
The Natur Spa at Moar Gut sits in puristic alpine architecture with panoramic views across the Großarltal. Inside the Finnish sauna, dry heat radiates from natural timber walls. The Bio-Kräutersauna carries herbal-infused steam through quieter, softer warmth. A Dampfsauna thickens the air with dense, mineral-scented vapor. Step outside and the mountain lake hits cold and clear against the skin. The 25-meter outdoor pool holds untreated mountain spring water, warm enough for every season, with Großarl peaks filling the sightline. Below the glass dome of the Panorama Hallenbad, light floods in and mountains frame every stroke. On the Natur Badesee, wooden decks stretch over still water beside the lake bar.
Moar Gut grows from the Großarltal valley floor as an extension of the landscape itself. The Kendlbacher family built every structure using regional stone, local timber, and traditional Alpine craftsmanship. An on-site organic farm anchors the resort's relationship with its land. This is not an add-on philosophy, it is the founding premise.Geothermal technology heats the entire resort. Fresh, untreated mountain spring water from 1,300 metres feeds every tap and swimming pool. The grounds are completely car-free. The Nature Children's Farm, built entirely from natural materials like cashmere goat hair and Alpine grass wall coverings, earned both the BIG SEE Interior Award and the Green Product Award. Electric charging stations sit in the underground garage for arriving guests.
