Your family holiday in Austria

The Grossarltal valley stretches out before you on your family holiday in Austria, framed by the peaks of the Hohe Tauern, with new adventures waiting around every corner. In summer, you and your loved ones can discover Alpine meadows, mountain flowers, and winding trails. In winter, the slopes of the Grossarl-Dorfgastein ski area are practically on the doorstep. Ski schools are close by too – ideal for little beginners and their parents.

And after a happy day in the fresh air, return to the Ziach & Candy to play, relax, and recharge.

The valley is your playground on your family holiday in Pongau.

The Grossarltal valley is home to more than 40 Alpine huts. Some are just an hour away, while others call for a longer trek through nature. Along the way, children can scramble over rocks, pick Alpine flowers, and take in the world around them, while you soak up the sunshine. Nature becomes something you experience together.

Right in the village centre, Rucki Zucki’s Gaudi-Alm offers a large adventure playground with climbing rocks, a mini farm, a mountain stream, Alpine rafts, and a go-kart track. Admission is free, and it’s only a few minutes’ walk from the hotel. In winter, the whole valley turns into a snowy playground, with wide slopes for beginners and more demanding runs for experienced skiers. After spending the day outdoors, you all return pleasantly tired and ready for the next adventure.

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.
