Flachau is a venue for exciting adventure events

Your basecamp in Salzburger Land

An active holiday in Austria needs two things: time outdoors and a place that feels like home base. That’s exactly where almlust comes in.

Right in the middle of Flachau you are only a few minutes away from:

  • the valley station of the mountain lifts

  • hiking paths, running routes and bike trails

  • in winter: the Snow Space Salzburg ski area

  • and back again in no time to the natural swim pond, pool or sauna

Whether you travel alone, as a couple, with friends or as a family: almlust is more than just a hotel – it’s your basecamp for everything you want to experience outside.

Summer at almlust – hiking, biking, climbing & water

When summer arrives in Salzburger Land, the area around almlust becomes a playground of possibilities.

What’s waiting for you:

  • Hiking & mountaineering
    From gentle pasture walks to demanding summit tours – you decide how high you want to go. Guided tours with mountain and ski guide Christoph take you safely onto striking peaks in the region and, if you like, onto real Alpine classics.

  • E-biking & mountain biking
    Easy valley loops, first trails or serious elevation gain: with in-house e-bike rental, bike infrastructure and real bike lovers in the team, your bike holiday quickly turns into a string of “best days”.

  • Climbing & via ferrata
    From the almlustrock climbing tower right by the house to via ferrata routes and crags in the surrounding mountains – you choose how vertical your stay becomes.

  • Water & action
    Rafting, canyoning, swimming lakes, stand-up paddling or simply cooling off in the almlust natural pond: your summer can be as calm or as wild as you want it to be.

With the Flachau Summer Card and the Guest Mobility Ticket Salzburg you can also join guided programmes, use discounts and travel on public transport – perfect if you want to give your car a holiday too.

 

 

Winter at almlust – ski, board, snow & slow moments

Once the first snowflakes fall, your active holiday in Salzburger Land shifts into winter mode.

  • Skiing & snowboarding
    almlust is just a short walk or one ski bus stop from the valley station. With the lifts of Snow Space Salzburg and the wider Ski amadé on your doorstep, hundreds of kilometres of pistes open up – from beginner slopes to sporty runs.

  • Cross-country & winter walking
    Cross-country trails, winter walking paths and snowshoe routes in the wider area let you experience winter at your own pace – quietly, step by step.

  • Skipass service & cosy base
    In winter you can buy ski passes directly at the reception ticket desk. Then it’s simply: out onto the mountain, into the snow – and at the end of the day back into pool, natural pond or sauna.

For us, “active” never means hectic. It means moving your body, filling your lungs with clear air – and having enough time left over for good food, spa time and slow moments in your pyjamas.

 

Staying at almlust – from rooms to chalets

A big day outside is even better when you have the right place to land in the evening. At almlust you choose how you want to stay:

  • Rooms & suites – perfect for couples, solo travellers or short breaks

  • Apartments – with more space, kitchen and living area for longer stays or families

  • Chalets – your own little retreat with plenty of privacy and all almlust benefits

What they all share: natural materials, clear lines, comfortable beds and plenty of room to breathe between two adventures.

 

Active holidays without over-planning

You don’t have to arrive with a packed itinerary – that’s what we’re here for. At almlust you’ll find:

  • personal advice at reception – from people who have actually hiked, biked, climbed or skied most of the routes themselves

  • maps, tour ideas and insider tips

  • information on the Flachau Summer Card, Guest Mobility Ticket Salzburg and other local cards

  • equipment rental (such as e-bikes) directly in-house or through our partners

  • packed lunches or picnics to take along, if you want to stay out all day

You decide at breakfast what you’re in the mood for – and we figure out the rest together.

We love it when our guests come back in the evening with that glow in their eyes – whether it’s from the slopes, a trail or a summit. almlust is meant to feel as uncomplicated as a day in the mountains: arrive, head out, come back and simply feel at home.

FAQ – active holidays at almlust

Who is almlust suitable for as an active base?

For anyone who enjoys being outdoors – from beginners and pleasure-seekers to endurance athletes. With hiking, biking, climbing and winter sports all around, everyone can find a pace and level that feels right.

Do I need a car for my active holiday?

A car can be handy, but it’s not essential. Many activities are within walking distance or can be reached with the local bus, mountain lifts or using the Guest Mobility Ticket. We’re happy to help plan tours that work well without a car.

Can I book activities spontaneously?

Yes. Many things can be organised spontaneously once you’re here – from guided hikes to bike or rafting tours. For very popular highlights or guided mountain tours with Christoph we recommend getting in touch early.

Is almlust suitable for families?

Absolutely. With rooms, apartments and chalets, the natural swim pond, pool and many child-friendly activities in and around Flachau, almlust works wonderfully as a family base for shared adventures.

Can I also just relax at almlust without doing “all the things”?

Definitely. Active holidays here don’t have to be packed. You can just as well spend a day with a book by the pool, a sauna session in the evening and a gentle stroll through the village – and call that a perfect day too.

We like to move it

Almlust is a meeting point and starting point for all those who love exercise and live for adventure just as much as we do.
