Großarl, Austria
A 5-star family resort and working organic farm in Salzburger Land, where 46 suites face the mountains and Icelandic horses graze below.
Alpacas stand in the morning fog. Icelandic horses cross the meadow toward the barn. Moar Gut sits in the Grossarltal valley, at the edge of Nationalpark Hohe Tauern, running a certified Bio-Bauernhof alongside 46 mountain-facing family suites. Children feed calves and collect eggs from the henhouse. Adults watch from the Natur Spa's infinity pool. The architecture is puristic, harmonious, elegant, built to frame the peaks rather than compete with them.
The Kendlbacher family hosts the hotel. Ferdinand Prommegger, senior chef and farmer, runs the organic farm. Their shared philosophy is "Less is Moar", a belief that real luxury lives in connection, not excess. Cows, donkeys, goats, pigs, rabbits, geese, and sheep make the farm a living classroom. Every pillar of the resort, from kitchen to wellness to stables, grows from the same root: alpine nature, lived honestly.
Tractor rides cross the Bio-Bauernhof each morning. Children meet alpacas, donkeys, and goats at the Kleintierhof. Icelandic horse riding runs through the valley as a signature programme. The Sport- und Kletterhalle holds a climbing wall and trampoline hall. Weekly guided sessions cover hiking, trail running, yoga, functional fitness, and Reformer Pilates. Tennis courts sit on site. Summer hikes lead toward the Moar Gut Alm, the resort's own alpine meadow hut. Winter brings a dedicated active programme across the Grossarltal. Trainers lead group sessions throughout the week. Excursions reach deeper into Nationalpark Hohe Tauern.

The kitchen works in full-board rhythm, what the hotel calls Genuss-Vollpension. Ingredients come from the Bio-Bauernhof on site and regional producers across Salzburger Land. Milk, eggs, and meat travel metres, not miles. Marillenknodel, apricot dumplings, appear as a house favourite. Breakfast extends to external guests, a quiet mark of confidence. The food philosophy mirrors everything else here: regional, seasonal, rooted in the farm below the dining room.
The Natur Spa opens daily from nine to nine. A 25-metre infinity pool overlooks the valley. The Natur-Badesee, a natural swimming lake, sits on the grounds. Inside, a panoramic pool separates into adult, baby, and toddler zones. A wave slide keeps older children moving. The adults-only Warmewelt holds stylish saunas with textile-free and textile zones. Spacious relaxation rooms face the mountains. Treatments range from massage and beauty applications to IV drips and the Glowcation by AELUA programme. A Longevity programme rounds out the adult offering. The Lillee Baby Spa caters to infants, a rare detail that sets Moar Gut apart.
Sustainability at Moar Gut is not a programme. It is the founding idea. The motto "Less is Moar" frames luxury as meaningful connection rather than accumulation. Ferdinand Prommegger's philosophy, that children should feel nature, experience animals, and discover origins, shapes daily life on the farm and in the hotel alike.
The certified Bio-Bauernhof supplies the kitchen with organic produce. Cows, goats, chickens, and sheep live on property as part of a functioning alpine farm. Guests can take animal sponsorships through the Tierpatenschaft programme. Regional sourcing extends beyond food into operations. Nature conservation, what the hotel calls gelebter Naturschutz, is practiced within the alpine environment of Nationalpark Hohe Tauern.
