The town of Grossarl is a five-minute drive away with an all-day shuttle service that takes you to the lifts in winter.

The owners have worked hard to ensure that you leave your worries at the door. The hotel is spread over several buildings; The main center is the historic building, which has a charming wood-panelled restaurant, heavy wooden doors and sheepskin rugs over light wooden furniture. More modern buildings – one of which is dedicated to activities with a full-size climbing wall, a basketball court and gaming room; Another home features a massive spa, two indoor pools and water slides – all sensitively designed to match and not detract from the star of the show: the towering mountain range that frames the property. The focal point is the swimming lake surrounded by individual decking areas.
Service
The staff are the perfect mix of friendly and helpful – but not overbearing. Guests are treated to cake pops and a welcome drink upon arrival, dinner locations are pre-assigned with cutlery and paint for the kids, and food arrives fast. For the first few days the staff also act as willing tour guides around the vast complex.
bed and bath
The 46 well-designed suites are clean and minimalist, with pine furniture, white walls and crisp linens. All have a balcony or terrace. Each one makes the most of natural light with large windows to enjoy mountain views. The suites have two or three bedrooms, with bunk beds or single beds for children. Bathrooms have tubs and showers, and the kitchens are well-appointed. The elevator goes right up to your front door, which is a fun feature. As well as the suites, Mor Gut also has two double rooms with similar scenic design.

On Tuesday nights guests are invited to drink fizz and party in the kitchen with a house band dressed in traditional Austrian attire (as the chefs try to do the job). Breakfast is a huge, delicious buffet that features plenty of fresh waffles. Lunch includes a buffet salad and a choice of two main courses. There is cake and an ice cream station available every day at 3pm.
