Puradies – My Nature Resort

Close to the Sky High above Leogang, PURADIES stands as a heavenly hideaway on a sun-drenched plateau spanning approximately 300,000 square meters. Hiking and biking from spring through fall, downhill or cross-country skiing in winter: Nestled in the heart of the Salzburg mountains, active vacationers will find everything they’re looking for here all year round. Wellness aficionados and other connoisseurs will likewise feel perfectly at home in this traditional 4*S hotel with its luxurious chalet village—it is nothing short of paradise…

In the morning, step straight from your bedroom onto your bicycle—or, as soon as the Leoganger Steinberge are blanketed in white once more, glide onto skis that open the vast winter wonderland—and then transition seamlessly from trail or slope into the hotel pool: At PURADIES, such seamless luxury is effortlessly yours. This seamless transition is courtesy of the hotel’s enviable location in the heart of Austria’s largest biking region and within the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, which boasts 270 kilometres of meticulously groomed slopes. And, as if that were not sufficient to satiate the active traveller, a 400-kilometre network of hiking trails unfolds directly before PURADIES.

Whether you are a cyclist, hiker or winter sports enthusiast, a visit to the Heaven Spa is an essential conclusion to a day spent in the mountains. Peace and relaxation are guaranteed across 1,500 m². Uncertain whether to warm up or take a refreshing dip? Begin with the adults-only sauna house and its diverse steam rooms, then explore the expansive water world, which boasts an infinity pool, a children’s pool and a natural swimming pond. Alternatively, indulge in true “Puradies” style with one of the first-class wellness treatments. The menu encompasses classic massages, rejuvenating “Body Boosters” and innovative beauty treatments.

Culinary delights are equally celebrated. The PURADIES restaurant serves, above all, creatively interpreted delicacies from the region and the hotel’s own garden. Good for your eco-conscience—and your taste buds: Many ingredients come directly from the Madreiter family’s organic farm, located right next to PURADIES.

PURADIES offers accommodations in 76 rooms and suites, which—depending on the category booked—feature expansive terraces with mountain views, box-spring beds, and a designer ambiance in a modern Alpine style. For even more comfort and privacy, there are 14 chalets crafted from local woods, arranged like a small village adjacent to PURADIES. Spanning up to 120 m² and appointed with a kitchen, stove, terrace, and sauna, they are the perfect retreats for sunny days and cosy evenings as a couple or with the family. It all adds up to a wonderfully “Puradies-style” getaway… Photos: Puradies – My Nature Resort
