The Spa at Holzhotel Forsthofalm in Leogang, Austria, has been recognised at the prestigious 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Awards, one of the world’s most respected award initiatives in the luxury hospitality and wellness industry.
This international recognition highlights the hotel’s distinctive wellness concept, which combines authentic alpine nature, holistic wellbeing and sustainable architecture at 1,050 metres above sea level in the Austrian Alps.
Designed entirely from untreated wood and built without glue or metal, Holzhotel Forsthofalm creates a unique atmosphere that allows guests to reconnect with nature and themselves. The award-winning spa concept reflects this philosophy through a carefully curated experience focused on regeneration, movement and mindful relaxation.
Located above the rooftops of the hotel, the SKY SPA offers panoramic mountain views, multiple saunas, relaxation areas and a heated rooftop pool overlooking the surrounding alpine landscape. Combined with the hotel’s year-round yoga programme, outdoor activities and healthy cuisine, the wellness experience at Forsthofalm represents a modern and inspiring approach to alpine wellbeing.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from Haute Grandeur Global Awards,” says Markus Widauer, General Manager of Holzhotel Forsthofalm. “This award is a reflection of our passionate team and our vision of creating a place where nature, design and wellbeing exist in perfect harmony. We want our guests to feel inspired, grounded and energised during their stay with us.”
