Summer at our active hotel in Salzburger Land

Whether you set off from the valley on foot or prefer to cover the first metres of altitude by cable car is entirely up to you – and your legs. We offer two guided hikes each week, leading to mountain peaks, Alpine huts, and wildlife spots. And mountain bikers will find plenty to love here too. More than 160 kilometres of well-marked routes run through the region, with something for every level: e-bikers can cruise along forest tracks at a relaxed pace, while experienced riders can head for more demanding single trails.

Slope soarers have a choice of six different launch sites to take off from, while nearby golf courses, swimming lakes, via ferrata routes, and rafting adventures add even more variety. In summer, the Grossarltal valley shows its full range: every day brings a new way to stay active.

Families can playfully discover the mountains by following themed trails, while those who prefer a gentler pace can explore the wealth of huts, savouring both views and Alpine snacks along the way. In short, the Grossarltal valley and the wider Pongau region offer movement in all its forms.

Winter at our active hotel in Salzburger Land

In winter, the Grossarltal valley becomes a snowy paradise of outdoor adventures. The Grossarl-Dorfgastein ski area lies almost on our doorstep, with more than 80 kilometres of slopes for ambitious skiers, leisurely cruisers, and families alike. If you prefer to leave the groomed pistes behind, you’ll find beautiful ski-touring routes through untouched winter landscapes. What’s more, cross-country trails run through the valley, winter walking trails invite you out into the snow, and snowshoe hikers will discover places that seem to glow in the winter light. Tobogganing, ice skating, or even ice climbing? In Pongau, your winter adventures have no limits.

And when the cold has reddened your cheeks and your legs feel pleasantly tired, the wellness area at the Ziach & Candy welcomes you with cosy warmth.

New name, same warm welcome

Hotel Gratz is now Ziach & Candy. And yes, there’s a bit of a love story behind the name. A nod to Florian’s music that keeps spirits high in the evenings. To Daniela’s cakes and sweet treats that make afternoons that little bit better. To Maria and Sepp, who started it all. And to you, because you keep coming back to see us. The name may have changed, but the heart of the place hasn’t – still right here in the middle of the Großarltal valley.
