Two MICHELIN Keys

In September 2026, the MICHELIN Guide once again awarded DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort in Großarl two MICHELIN Keys.

Following 2024 and 2025, we are delighted to receive this recognition from the MICHELIN Guide for the third time—and are truly grateful for it.

DAS EDELWEISS

In its review, the MICHELIN Guide notes:

“A rare address in a rugged, unspoiled Alpine valley—the comparison with the flower is apt. DAS EDELWEISS Salzburg Mountain Resort has been run by the Hettegger family for three generations, who have truly mastered the art of hospitality.” 

 

With the Keys, the MICHELIN Guide honors hotels in the same way it awards stars to restaurants. The overall experience is evaluated: location, architecture, service, character, and the feeling of being somewhere truly special. To be numbered among these awarded establishments is something we never take for granted. Above all, we see the Keys as an inspiration to be exceptional hosts every single day.

What awaits our guests

DAS EDELWEISS is a 5-star resort located right on the slopes, in the heart of the pristine Grossarl Valley—the 'Valley of Alp Meadows'.

  • 7,000 m² Mountain Spa with dedicated areas for both families and adults.
  • Diverse culinary experiences—from regional cuisine and fresh sushi to the toque-awarded steakhouse Sirloin | Grill & Dine, which is also featured in the MICHELIN Guide.
  • Continuously evolving: New family suites and a brand-new Family Spa were added in 2023, followed by a complete renovation of the main wing in 2024.

 

And in the midst of all these new additions, our grandparents’ old tiled stove still stands today.

Three Generations of Hospitality

We are particularly delighted that the MICHELIN Guide highlights our family. It all began in 1978/79 with a small 14-room guesthouse built by our senior director Peter Hettegger together with his parents. Since 2018, his son Peter and his wife Karin have been leading the hotel. We hope our guests can feel this sense of closeness — many of them have been visiting us for decades, and for that, we are deeply grateful.

We look forward to welcoming you to Großarl soon.
