PoST Maria Alm

There is a double blessing here: Firstly the peace and deep relaxation to be found in the PoSt Boutique Apartments in Maria Alm, which overlook the impressive Steinernes Meer mountain range. Secondly the sight of the sacred pilgrimage church that stands in front of the PoSt, its tall spire rising from the heart of Maria Alm. The aim of the Schwaiger family, who opened the doors of the nine new apartments in May 2021, is to create a place for guests to take a moment, breathe deeply and come to an inner peace. The delicate scent of larch wood wafts through the building. Natural materials such as oak, floor-to-ceiling linen curtains, woollen loden-cloth seat cushions and large travertine stone slabs in the staircase combine to create a grounding atmosphere. A place for those seeking authenticity, tranquility and relaxation. The nine apartments are a mix of minimalism and high-quality furnishings. Generous, extra-high, box-spring beds ensure deep, restful sleep. The starry sky seems close enough to touch through the large panoramic windows. The foundations date back to 1573, later buildings served as a girls’ school, then an inn and tavern, and later a grocer’s, in which a local post office opened—hence the name of the boutique apartment hotel. Maria Alm itself is picturesquely situated amidst the majestic mountains of the Steinernes Meer, the Hochkönig and the Pinzgauer Grasberge, in the middle of the Salzburger Land. Whether you look out onto lush green meadows in the summer or snowy landscapes in the winter, the alpine views from the PoSt make every single day a joy.

WHAT WE LIKE MOST:

• Tranquility: Just nine peaceful apartments of different sizes – all of them bear first names from days gone by.
• The great combination of natural, regional materials and minimalist interior design
• The beds! Extra-high and comfortable, box-spring beds right beside panoramic windows looking out onto the starry sky.
• That there is a breakfast trolley and you don’t have to get up too early.
• Great light: The huge panoramic windows in each apartment and the wellness area provide a bright and pleasant ambience.
• The magnificent views of the mountain panorama at any time of the day or night
• The fully equipped kitchens where you can whip up more than a cup of tea if you wish.
• The beautifully designed wellness area with panoramic pool, traditional old wood sauna, relaxation room and cool fresh air area, wellness packages and fitness room.
• The location right at the heart of Maria Alm
• A cable car lift is close at hand. Sometimes a ride up to the mountain hut and a comfortable return trip in the evening is all you are in the mood for.

GOOD TO KNOW:

• The apartments are between 48 and 112 square meters. Paul and Paula, the two smallest, sleep one to three guests; Max can sleep three to six guests.
• Children up to two years sleep for free, after that there are staggered prices.
• Parking is available in the garage, including charging station for electric vehicles.
• There are many activities available in the area (for a fee): Tennis, golf, canoeing, squash, cycling, horseback riding, hiking, diving, fishing, mini golf, darts, table tennis, archery, and in winter, of course, skiing.
• The Natrun adventure mountain is nearby with summer tobogganing, the world’s first forest slide park and the Natrun Flowtrail.
• Also worth a mention: The themed hiking trail—the Walk of Fame and the Bartholomä pilgrimage trail
