“Familiar warmth, newly inspired: The new Oberforsthof”

It’s something new. It will certainly be something special – and of course it will remain just as cozy as it has always been. Starting at the end of October, we’re opening a new Oberforsthof chapter: with a brand-new spa & wellness area, an even better restaurant concept, and our signature hospitality. Look forward to two spa worlds: a spacious family area with slides and water features, and an adults-only spa with ritual zone, saunas, and an onsen pool.

The Oberforsthof: A Special Hideaway in Salzburger Land

The Oberforsthof is your place to celebrate life and togetherness in the heart of the Salzburg mountains. A place that combines the charm of a family-run boutique hotel with the leisure opportunities of a resort. A true home away from home for sporty couples, friends, families, and solo travelers. Wonderfully colorful – and that’s precisely what makes it such a unique kind of luxury.

Located right on the slopes and at the same time surrounded by greenery, this family-run four-star superior hotel blends warm hospitality with alpine lifestyle and timeless elegance.

Christmas time

Advent at the Oberforsthof is something very special. Atmospheric Advent markets, twinkling lights, and a lovingly designed Advent program create a festive atmosphere and a genuine Christmas spirit.

Rooms & Suites

Stylish, comfortable, and full of soul. That’s why we’ve dedicated our 44 rooms, 22 suites, and 3 single rooms to individual members of the owning family – each one uniquely designed with its own character.

Culinary

With us, culinary delights are all about Austrian zest for life. Our regionally rooted kitchen team works mainly with fresh organic ingredients from local producers, crafting dishes inspired by traditional Austrian recipes.

family world

Spacious restaurant area, sun-drenched terrace with breathtaking views, family pool with slides, adults-only zone in the brand-new spa, exclusive family rooms, SummerCard, and childcare services.

you & me Times

Even though the Oberforsthof is a lively place, there is plenty of privacy to enjoy. Adults-only areas in the new spa, spacious rooms with large balconies and seating for two, tranquil lounge islands in the garden, as well as quiet corners in the restaurant and the fireside lounge.

Even more spa!

From autumn 2025: two separate spa worlds across 1,500 m². An adults-only spa with saunas, onsen pool, cold plunge, relaxation lounge, and inspiring wellness rituals. A family spa with two slides, indoor pool, baby pool, and a quiet zone. Plus: an expanded restaurant area and brand-new rooms.

our guests

At the Oberforsthof, you’ll meet people who want to embrace life: families creating unforgettable adventures together, couples seeking a retreat full of peace and indulgence, and groups who delight in sharing experiences and activities.

Whether hiking, skiing, unwinding in the spa, or enjoying a cozy dinner – our guests value the family-like atmosphere, the wide range of possibilities, and the space everyone finds for themselves. Some stay just a few days, others a little longer – but all take a piece of the Oberforsthof home with them: memories of shared moments, pure nature, and the wonderful feeling of having been in exactly the right place.

opening hours, rooms & location

We are open year-round, with a short seasonal break from Easter until May. The hotel offers 44 rooms, 22 suites, and 3 single rooms. Situated at 765 meters above sea level, right on the mountain in the St. Johann Alpendorf area, the Oberforsthof enjoys a prime location.

In summer, it is the perfect starting point for exploring the Salzburg mountains and alpine pastures. In winter, the hotel offers true ski-in/ski-out convenience, located directly at the chairlift and gondola station of the Snow Space Salzburg ski area.

Restaurant & Spa

The restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Oberforsthof cuisine includes a rich breakfast, an afternoon snack, and a five-course dinner.

From late autumn 2025, our new spa offering awaits you:

  • Family Spa World with two slides, indoor pool, baby area, textile sauna, and relaxation zones.

  • Adults-Only Spa World with various saunas, onsen pool, cold plunge, and a spa featuring treatments & massages.
