Naturresort Puradies Leogang: Where winter lingers beautifully

Why the season’s finale at PURADIES is more than just spring skiing

While winter fades elsewhere, it reaches its most refined expression at PURADIES. Set high above Leogang on a car-free plateau, firn snow, spa serenity and alpine cuisine come together to create a way of travel that feels intentional, unhurried and quietly luxurious. A winter finale not extended – but elevated.

Ski-in, ski-out – and nothing but time

As many resorts begin to wind down, winter in the Saalbach – Hinterglemm – Leogang – Fieberbrunn ski area reaches its peak once more. Until early April, sunlit slopes and ideal firn conditions invite guests to enjoy long, unhurried ski days. At PURADIES, skiing begins right at the doorstep, offering seamless ski-in/ski-out access and a rare sense of freedom.

Afternoons gently transition from activity to indulgence – on the panoramic sun terrace, by the infinity pool or with a drink overlooking the mountains. It’s a rhythm designed for guests who value space, flow and effortless comfort.

Stillness with a view

Beyond the slopes, winter slows down. Guided snowshoe hikes lead through pristine alpine landscapes, offering moments of calm and reflection. Deep relaxation awaits at the 1,500-square-metre Heaven Spa, a sanctuary dedicated to holistic wellbeing.

An infinity pool, adults-only sauna areas, panoramic relaxation rooms, a fireplace lounge and a curated programme of yoga, meditation and treatments create space to truly unwind. Families, meanwhile, benefit from generous shared areas and seasonal offers around Easter, making late-season travel both relaxed and inclusive.

Cuisine with a sense of place

Dining at PURADIES is rooted in authenticity and regional integrity. Many ingredients come directly from the family-owned organic farm and shape the daily gourmet half-board, from breakfast to afternoon treats and evening menus.

For refined culinary experiences, guests turn to the fine dining restaurant ESS:ENZ, where contemporary alpine cuisine has earned recognition from Gault&Millau with one toque and 13.5 points. Precision, seasonality and a clear alpine identity define every dish.

When the mountains turn social

Evenings at PURADIES are quietly vibrant. Bar Freiraum, an architectural highlight crafted from 16,000 oak cubes, becomes a natural meeting place for guests. The weekly Alpine Aperitif sets the tone – relaxed, elegant and convivial.

Beyond the resort, the region adds cultural energy to the winter finale with DJ sets, live performances and mountain events. Here, alpine tranquillity meets a subtle sense of celebration.

At PURADIES, the winter finale is not an ending – but a beautifully balanced pause between snow, sunshine and style.
