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

Hiking & mountaineering – summer paths & summit goals

Around almlust you’ll find routes for every mood:

  • family and pleasure walks to alpine huts, play areas and viewpoints

  • panoramic loops with wide views over Salzburger Land

 

You can start walking straight from the door or let the lifts take care of a few vertical metres – and then choose tours that match your fitness and your appetite for adventure.

  • sporty summit tours with mountain and ski guide Christoph for everyone who likes to go a bit higher

  •  

E-biking & mountain biking – two wheels, many options

In summer, almlust is a genuine bike home:

  • e-bike rental directly in-house

  • bike wash, lockable bike room and tools

  • tour tips from Simone & Christoph, who spend a lot of their own time in the saddle

Whether you prefer easy valley rides, your first trails or serious mountain bike and Stoneman-Taurista-level climbing, the region offers routes for every level. And if you like to get going without long transfers: many tours start practically on the doorstep.

 

Climbing, mountaineering & fun sports – summer with extra pulse

If you enjoy things steeper, airier or wilder, you’ll find plenty of room to play around almlust:

  • climbing & via ferrata with Christoph as your mountain and ski guide – from Flachau peaks to the Dachstein / Ramsau area

  • the almlustrock climbing tower right at the resort as the perfect introduction, training spot or afternoon session

  • fun sports with selected outdoor partners: rafting, canyoning, paragliding and more – organised by professionals, recommended by us

You decide how much adrenaline your day should contain – we help you choose the right tour and put you in touch with the right partners.

 

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.

 

Cards, mobility & more – just start instead of overplanning

To make sure your summer holiday doesn’t turn into a planning marathon, there are some clever helpers around almlust:

  • the Flachau Summer Card with guided hikes, activity programmes and discounts

  • the Guest Mobility Ticket Salzburg for free use of many public transport services throughout Salzburger Land

  • our personal recommendations – from easy half-day outings to demanding full-day tours

We’re happy to help you shape each day to fit your preferred holiday pace – whether you’re staying for just a few days or half the summer.

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.
