Ten reasons to choose the Ziach & Candy
Some places simply feel right. The Ziach & Candy is one of them. Here, great food meets mountain life. Here, you’ll find hosts with a deep love for their home region. Here, local flavours taste all the better, and the things that matter most are within easy reach: relaxation, the mountains, and a little more time for yourself.
Here are ten good reasons to spend your holiday with us. There are countless others – but they are best discovered in person.
The Grossarltal valley has 40 Alpine huts for you to explore. Every hike brings you closer to nature, to the people who live here, and to the quiet freedom of the mountains. Head out, and every time you’ll come back just a little changed.
The bakery is where sweet temptations take form. Daniela turns dough into tartlets, decorates cakes, and creates desserts with a steady hand and a great deal of heart. Everything on your plate carries her signature. Sweet indulgence that simply makes you happy.
We know the butcher who supplies our meat. We know the cheesemakers behind the cheese on your plate. We know the dairy farmers throughout Grossarl. Their products shape our cooking every day, and you can taste that connection in every bite.
Lace up your boots, open the door, and set off: hiking trails lead straight from the hotel into the natural beauty of the Salzburg mountains.
The Grossarltal-Dorfgastein ski area is right on our doorstep. The slopes are calling. The descents are waiting. Set off in the morning and come back buzzing.
Daniela and Florian are at home here. They know every trail, every hut, and every hidden spot worth discovering. And they love sharing their home region with their guests – personally, warmly, and wholeheartedly. Hospitality with roots.
From the moment you arrive, the Ziach & Candy feels familiar. Wood beneath your hands. Rooms that welcome you with warmth. The scent of cake on the air. Everything here feels genuine. Nothing is staged. It feels like home from the very start.
At the Ziach & Candy, you don’t follow a fixed holiday schedule. You decide when the day begins. Whether you head for the mountains or stay on the balcony a little longer. Whether you set out on a long hike or simply stroll to the next mountain hut. Your holiday – your rhythm.
On the terrace, you sit down together with other guests. Over breakfast, you swap hiking tips. In the evening, someone shares a story from their day in the mountains. Connections happen naturally here. You arrive as guest and leave as friend.
The climb puts your muscles to work. The mountain air fills your lungs. The view from the summit brings a welcome stillness. Here, you feel your body again and notice what movement can do. You take that feeling home with you. Being active becomes a way of life.
At the Ziach & Candy, that’s home.
