Beginning of September we had our annual strategic meeting of our company. Luckily that has nothing to do with any boring, ordinary meeting as it usually lasts a few days and takes place at a cool location. My bosses aren’t afraid of any costs, which means we get to stay in nice hotels, having lots of great food and drinks as well as an exciting leisure program. This time we went to Leogang, a popular holiday destination in the alps in the province of Salzburg. The hotel mama thresl was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in – it’s cool and cozy at the same time and the staff is just incredible! I’d consider to go there again on my own! Click here to book.
Also the scenery is just as great and there’s so many activities that you could easily spend two weeks there without getting bored (well, when the weather allows it), especially mountain biking and downhill tracks are big hits there. To prevent ourselves from injuries and sick days, we went for the “soft” version and did a tour on e-bikes in the valley – and oh, if you think they’re just for old people – you’re wrong! There are some cool off-road bikes out there and still you to need to pedal to get around 😉 However it’s a nice support to have a electric motor especially if you’re going uphill. The reward for the workout were the beautiful views and a hearty lunch break.
The second day finally greeted us with clear skies, which was perfect for our archery class and a heavenly fondue dinner at a beautiful wooden cabin from where you could see the sunset. Life’s good.

Looks like Looks absolutely amazing. The natur ein the alps is just beautiful 🙂
You’re right. It amazes me every time!
I absolutely adore the shower in the hotel! Do you know how much your bosses paid for it? 🙂
It wasn’t so bad, they paid 120 EUR per room and night, single occupancy. Including a huge breakfast buffet. However it was low season, so I’d check out their website: http://www.mama-thresl.com/de/index/1-0.html 😉
Thanks a lot! 120 EUR per night sound pretty affordable 🙂
I’m so happy that you’ve been traveling a lot and that you went to so many beautiful places! Leogang looks gorgeous, woah! <3

das hotel ist ja der hammer. ich LIEBE solche unterkünfte.
Ohja Krimml usw. – in dieser Gegend gibt es so viel mehr zu entdecken! Ich war auch total angetan von der Landschaft, aber vor allem MUSS ich unbedingt wieder zurück in dieses Hotel 😉

What a great post, I absolutely loved the photos with the stunning blue skies and clouds. I now look forward to following your stories.
Thank you very much Sue, I’m happy you like it. Cool, let’s keep updated with our travels 🙂
That hotel is so cozy, totally my style!!! Super photogenic it was i bet hehe it’s nice how you get to stay in nice hotels like these!
Photogenic it is, too bad I didn’t take more pics. That trip is probably the best part of work, although that happens waay to rarely 😉
Wow Salzburg is just absolutely breathtaking and it looks like you had a fantastic time. Would love to visit myself one day! Thanks for sharing these photos and is that Flammkuchen I see?!

Thank you, it was great. And yes, we had Flammkuchen 😉
[…] alps, like here in Leogang, never fail to amaze […]
Deine Artikel und Fotos sind wirklich hilfreich! Ich klicke mich gerade durch deine Artikel durch, auf der Suche nach einer schönen Wanderdestination in Österreich für eine Woche – vorzugsweise im Salzburger Land. Über Leogang habe ich nun schon viel gelesen. Meinst du, es ist überlaufen in der Haupt- und Ferienzeit? Ich mag ja eher ruhige Orte.
Liebe Grüße nach NY!
Ui das freut mich zu hören 🙂 Ich war damals Anfang September in Leogang und ich empfand es als ziemlich ruhig. Wie es im Hochsommer dort aussieht kann ich leider nicht beurteilen, aber das Gebiet ist groß – ich kann mir also nicht vorstellen, dass man dort wirklichen Menschenmassen begegnet 😉 Viel Spaß beim Planen!
Hello. We are visiting Salzburg and Vienna in December for the holidays. We only have a week in each city so I was wondering if you have suggestions for quick and easy trips for spectacular alpine scenery from either city. Thanks so much!
Hi Belle, from Vienna I’d suggest going to the Semmering region. From Salzburg you can take the train to Bad Gastein – it’s a spa and ski resort in the mountains. There’s also great skiing in Flachau which is a little closer. I hope that helps!
