Your summer basecamp in Flachau
Summer at almlust means: the first sun rays on your balcony in the morning, mountains, meadows and water during the day – and a spot by the natural pond or at the bar in the evening.
Right in the centre of Flachau, almlust puts you just a few minutes from:
-
the mountain lifts of Snow Space Salzburg
-
hiking trails, running routes and panoramic paths
-
varied bike routes in Salzburger Land
-
water time – from the natural swim pond and pool at almlust to lakes and streams in the wider area
You decide: barefoot and slow, or with plenty of altitude metres and a touch of adrenaline.
For us, a perfect summer day is a mix of being outside, water on your skin and evenings where nobody checks the time. That’s exactly the feeling we want to share with our guests – whether you come to us for biking, hiking or simply to breathe out

Climbing, mountaineering & fun sports – summer with extra pulse

Water, natural pond & summer feeling
Between all those activities, summer also needs pauses. almlust makes that the easy part:
-
natural swim pond & pool at the resort – to swim, cool down and float for a while
-
lawns and terraces for reading, power naps and sunset watching
-
short drives to lakes, rivers and other water spots in the region
That’s how an active day becomes a complete summer day: move first, then jump in the water, then enjoy.

FAQ – summer at almlust
Is almlust more for people seeking peace or for sporty guests?
Both. From here you can head out for sporty hiking, biking, climbing and fun sports – or you can read by the pond, stroll through the village and take it slow. Many guests simply mix both styles depending on the day.
Do I need a car for my summer holiday?
A car is convenient, but not strictly necessary. With mountain lifts, buses and the Guest Mobility Ticket Salzburg you can reach many places comfortably without your own vehicle. We’ll gladly show you tours and excursions that work well with public transport.
Is summer at almlust also suitable for families?
Absolutely. With the natural pond, pool, nearby climbing tower, family-friendly paths and lots of offers in and around Flachau, almlust works very well as a base for families who want to be outdoors together.
Can I plan activities spontaneously once I’m there?
Yes. Many things can be decided on the spot – from a simple hike to a guided bike or rafting tour. For very popular activities (like tours with a mountain guide or certain fun-sport highlights) it’s still a good idea to let us know early.
What if the weather doesn’t play along?
Then your summer day just changes shape – but doesn’t get worse. At almlust, pool, natural pond (for the brave), sauna and cosy corners for reading, playing and relaxing are waiting.
If you want to go out anyway, the area offers top-level excursions, for example:
-
the Eisriesenwelt – the largest ice cave in the world, about 20 minutes away by car
-
the Salzwelten Hallein salt mine with a journey into the mountain and the story of the “white gold”
-
a trip to the Mozart city Salzburg with its museums, historic old town and the impressive Festung Hohensalzburg towering above the roofs of the city
We’re happy to help you find the right plan B – or rather plan A+ – depending on weather and mood.
