Nestled between the snowy mountain peaks of Hinterglemm, Hotel Wiesergut is an Alpine paradise that waits to welcome you. Just a few weeks ago, Sven and I had the luxury of escaping to this gorgeous Austrian design hotel for a relaxing weekend of serene mountain scenery complimented by refined design, incredible food, friendly hospitality, and all of the comforts we could have imagined.

Accommodations & Amenities
During our visit to Wiesergut, Sven and I had the pleasure of staying in one of the hotel’s four Garden Suites. The spacious room came complete with its own fireplace, bathtub, and private terrace with outdoor hotpot and breathtaking mountain views. I particularly appreciated the east-facing positioning of our suite’s expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. Each morning, we awoke to an amber glow of light flooding our room as the sun slowly made its way up from behind the snowy mountain tops in the distance — a perfect view to wake up to. On top of enjoying the Garden Suite, we also took our time to indulge in Wiesergut’s stunning bathhouse and spa. Both the indoor and outdoor pool are heated to compliment the season, and there’s ample space to relax in-between your time spent in the sauna or steam room. Those who are up for an added layer of relaxation are welcome to book one of the spa’s many treatments as well.

Atmosphere & Design
Every single detail within the hotel has been custom designed, placing a refined emphasis on nearness to nature. The result is an enveloping atmosphere that’s both calming and subdued — an environment that calls you to relax and connect with the moment and your surroundings. The hotel itself is divided into three main buildings: the original heritage hotel which houses the main guest rooms; the new portion which houses the hotel lounge, restaurant, and suites; and the bathhouse which houses the pool, spa, and fitness area. All areas are connected and centralize around the beautiful open courtyard, where you will find the ring of fire. The architectural elements and furnishings strike a beautiful balance between mid-century modern and japandi infused minimalism. Not a single detail was amiss yet nothing felt overdone or distracting thanks to the beautiful harmony between colors, materials, and space.

Breakfast & Dining
At Wiesergut, quality is the red-thread that ties together each and every experience — of course dining is no exception. A gourmet breakfast is served every day until 11am, including fresh baked bread, local mountain cheeses, and many ripe ingredients sourced from nearby producers. Both evenings during our stay we didn’t venture further than the hotel restaurant for dinner, and the experience each night was absolutely fabulous. Every day, the chef prepares an unique menu comprised of several creative dishes with a slow-food approach. The menu is flexible and can be structure to your liking, and there are a few classics which remain on the menu throughout the season (such as their mouth-watering truffle pasta which I’m still dreaming about). Simply put… a visit to Wiesergut wouldn’t be complete without partaking in one of their slow and delicious dinners.

Local Surroundings
Sven and I were completely happy spending our entire weekend within the walls of Wiesergut. So happy in fact, we didn’t step off the hotel grounds for the entirety of our stay. Those who are interested in soaking up the local Alpine surrounds will find a world of options just outside. Wiesergut sits right at the foot of Saalbach’s ski slopes, making it the ideal hotel for winter-sport enthusiasts. And during the summer months, the snowy peaks which surround Glemm Valley transition to lush green — perfect for hikers and mountain bikers who are eager to explore the forests and trails. I can only recommend a visit, no matter the season…
