Jufenalm

© Nest x Nomad

The Salzburg Alps and Jufenalm have one thing in common: the feeling of freedom whenever you're close to them. Otherwise, two worlds collide here: while the mountains stretch towards the sky outside and you live alpine traditions, the bohemian hotel in Maria Alm exudes a touch of Ibiza spirit. On warm days, you can lounge on the wooden deck under straw umbrellas to the sound of chill-out music or take your first dip in the glistening turquoise outdoor pool. The interior also follows the boho concept with macramé and natural, hip textiles, especially in the 30 rooms and suites. Highlight: the Sky Suites, which make nature and the sky tangible thanks to panoramic windows. Those looking for more adrenaline can be whisked away by helicopter over the Steinernes Meer and enjoy a boho mountain picnic with delicious snacks. It's simply breathtaking!
