Secret Season – Magical November

Late Autumn in the Salzburg Mountains

November at Forsthofalm, located in absolute secluded area on 1.050 m, is an absolutely special time. Nature shifts down a gear, the colors change, and between golden autumn and the first snow, there is a mood that you only experience once a year. Here at Forsthofalm, your adults only wellness hotel in Leogang, we call this phase the Secret Season – a special time between the seasons, perfect for a wellness holiday in November in Austria.

Unique vibes between autumn and winter

In November, nature shows itself once more in all its glory: colorful forests shine in the last sunlight, the clear autumn weather provides incredible vistas, and the atmosphere is a mix of saying goodbye to autumn and anticipating winter. The hiking trails in the Leogang mountains are much quieter, the atmosphere is calmer, more relaxed, and somehow mysterious. It is the perfect hidden time, with a mysterious and unique character, to take a break – and at the same time, get ready for the coming winter season.

Pure hiking enjoyment – right outside the hotel door

Even in November, the mountain world invites you to unforgettable hikes:

From the hotel you can hike towards Asitz, along the Sinnepark and on forest bathing trails. An easy path full of experiences and panoramic views, which appear especially intense in the clear autumn light.

More demanding and spectacular at the same time is a tour to the Spielberghorn, where you can enjoy the endless views over the Leoganger Steinberge and towards Kitzbüheler Alps and Wilden Kaiser.

The cable cars operate throughout November, and by the end of the month, the official winter operation begins in the Skicircus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn – ski in ski out is right outside our front door.

A special highlight from October to mid-November is our Orange Mountain Days: Days full of activity, culinary delight, and inspiration. From guided yoga sessions to Kaiserschmarrn live cooking, cheese fondue, and DJ sounds when the White Night meets Orange Vibes. Enjoy an Orange Signature Drink or relax in the SkySpa with rooftop pool to round off your day. Accompanied by the orange light of the sunset.

The Orange Mountain Days are the perfect opportunity to enrich your stay at the wellness hotel Leogang with unique experiences.

Culinary moments with autumn vibes

As the days grow shorter and the evenings longer, cuisine takes center stage at Forsthofalm. Autumn means: aromatic specials from the charcoal grill, warming soups, bold flavors, and our Essential-Elements-Kitchen for dinner sharing style, combining enjoyment and togetherness. Add creative, homemade drinks at the bar or a glass of red wine by the fireplace – a culinary holiday in Austria can hardly get any better.

Wellness with a view

Our Sky Spa on the rooftop is a highlight in any season – but in November it has a truly special effect. When fog drapes the valley, you often bathe in autumn sunshine here at 1,050 meters, above it all. Rooftop infinity pool, panoramic saunas, yoga room with mountain views – here, nature and relaxation merge in a unique way. The sunrises and sunsets are especially intense at this time of year and let the day begin or end with a golden glow.
