The clouds hang low over Wagrain im Pongau, the meadows are wet, and raindrops are tapping on the balcony. So it’s not a day for the mountains. At first, you might think: what a shame. After all, on a family holiday, you’re hoping for sunshine, day trips and plenty of time outdoors.
But it’s on days like these that you really see just how well the Hofgut Wagrain works for families – even when the weather isn’t on our side. This is what a rainy day might look like here.
No stress in the morning
Instead of frantically packing backpacks, searching for rain jackets or planning a trip in bad weather, it’s worth starting the day at a leisurely pace. Coffee in the apartment kitchen, the children still in their pyjamas, rain outside, peace and quiet inside.
On days like these, the flat is worth its weight in gold. Plenty of space, a kitchen of your own, a living area – and simply the feeling of not being cooped up in a traditional hotel room. It makes a huge difference, especially with children: everyone can do their own thing for a bit without immediately feeling cramped or bored.
Games Area instead of cabin fever
After breakfast, it usually becomes clear very quickly: the children need to let off steam. And not just at some point, but right away.
That’s exactly what the Games Area is for – indoor fun for children. With 1,300 m² of space, Hofgut Wagrain offers plenty of room to play, run about and explore. One of the biggest advantages on a rainy day: no need for a car, no need to organise anything, and no need to look for alternatives. Everything is right here at the resort.
Sports hall, mini-park and short distances
The combination of the sports hall and the mini-park is particularly handy. In the 300 m² sports hall, the older children can move about, play and let off steam. The mini-park is ideal for the younger ones.
At Hofgut Wagrain, not every child has to follow the same programme. Younger children, schoolchildren and teenagers will find different areas suited to their age groups. This takes an incredible amount of pressure off the day – and everything is close by, without the need for lengthy changes of clothes or complicated planning.
A Quiet Hour Thanks to Supervised Playtime
Anyone who wishes can make use of the childcare service – in the form of supervised play – offered at Hofgut Wagrain from Monday to Friday for children aged between 4 and 11. While the children enjoy crafts and games with other young guests, parents have a little time to enjoy a coffee in peace or simply take a moment to relax. Especially on rainy days, supervised playtime is a welcome addition to the family holiday programme.
A break in the apartment
After so much action, a break in the apartment is just what you need. Retreating to the apartment, having something to eat, taking a moment to breathe, slowing the pace of the day. Moments like these are especially needed when it’s raining.
A rainy day doesn’t have to be fully planned out from morning till night. Sometimes it’s actually nice when your holiday takes a more relaxed turn. Playing, reading, cuddling up, making a cup of tea – little things like these often stay in your memory much more vividly than you might think.
To the family pool in the afternoon
In the afternoon, it’s well worth popping into the Family Pool. Rain outside, warm water inside – it doesn’t get much better than that. The children are usually thrilled straight away, especially because of the TrioSlide. There’s a baby pool for the little ones, and plenty for the older ones to splash about and slide down.
What’s particularly nice is that you don’t have to leave the resort to enjoy it. No need to visit a spa elsewhere, no car journey, no extra hassle. Afterwards, you simply head back to your apartment. By then, at the very latest, the rain really doesn’t matter at all.
A chance for parents to take a breath too
Time for parents to relax too.
At Hofgut Wagrain, it’s not just about keeping the children occupied. Parents are given space too.
Whilst the children are playing, swimming or taking part in activities, there’s time to relax for a while. The adults-only wellness area, complete with sauna, steam room, hot tub, relaxation room and tea lounge, is just the thing on a rainy day. A bit of warmth, a cup of tea, a moment of peace and quiet – sometimes that’s all it takes to make a family holiday feel like a proper holiday for the adults too.
Dinner at vaMoos
By the evening, everyone is usually tired but happy. And no one has to worry about where to eat when it’s raining. The vaMoos restaurant is right inside the resort and fits in perfectly with this laid-back atmosphere: high-quality, yet relaxed. Good food without being stuffy. Children can be children, and parents can relax and enjoy themselves.
That’s how a rainy day turns into a truly lovely day’s holiday in the Salzburg region.
Conclusion: Rain at Hofgut Wagrain doesn’t mean a day wasted
Of course, sunshine is always welcome on a family holiday. But a rainy day at Hofgut Wagrain shows that bad weather isn’t a problem here.
With spacious apartments, a games area, a sports hall, a mini-park, a family pool, childcare, a wellness centre and a restaurant right within the resort, there’s no need to improvise when it rains. Everything is there. Everything is close by. And that’s exactly what makes the difference.
Perhaps it’s exactly the sort of day you need every now and then: slower, cosier, closer, together – and yet still full of possibilities.
