Naturhotel Forsthofgut, Austria Hotel
Austria
If ever there was a textbook
backdrop to an off-grid adventure,
the rugged landscape of Austria’s
Leogang comes out on top. Not only
is the area home to the largest
biking region in Europe, but you’ll
find hiking routes, prime spots for
climbing and Alpine meadows ideal
for horse riding. Hiding amid all the
mountain beauty, luxury Naturhotel
Forsthofgut offers hyper-seasonal
gastronomy and the world’s first
forest spa. Five restaurants provide
top-class cuisine in a natural setting, including fine-dining, speciality
Japanese or traditional Austrian
with superlative ingredients sourced
no more than 50km away. Its newest
launch, the three-bed, self-catering
Thoman Alm ‘alpine hut’, set high in
a forested valley, brings the great
outdoors closer. With all the hotel
facilities available (shuttles
organised on request), it’s an ideal
place to reconnect with the wild. Thoman Alm (May-October;
sleeps nine) from £1015.
