Planning your holiday in Salzburger Land?
Active all year round
The Grossarltal valley lies nestled between the Hohe Tauern and Niedere Tauern ranges. Mountains rise on all sides, while the valley itself has an atmosphere of calm you feel straight away. A holiday in Salzburger Land means hiking, biking, skiing (across more than 80 kilometres of slopes!), and memorable culinary moments after your outdoor adventures. Grossarl and the mountaineering village of Hüttschlag capture the region’s closeness to nature in all four seasons.
Spring & summer – your holiday in Salzburger Land
When the snow melts and the Alpine roses begin to bloom, the huts open their doors, and it’s time for summer holidays in Salzburger Land. Hikes reveal the full beauty of this mountain landscape, while mountain-bike tours lead across scenic trails. Passionate about slope soaring? Then the Ziach & Candy is the place for you!
There’s so much to discover!
The BERG-GESUND programme includes more than 140 guided activities, from via ferrata routes on the spectacular Hüttschlager Wand to yoga sessions to rock climbing for beginners and experienced climbers alike. Take the cable car comfortably up to the Grossarl adventure mountain, where mountain carts, an E-Trial Park, and the Grossarl sensory trail are all waiting to be discovered.
Golden larch trees and white snow on holiday in Salzburger Land
In autumn, the larches turn a brilliant gold, and on clear days, the views stretch all the way to the glaciers. Then the first snowfall transforms the valley into a winter landscape straight out of a picture book, and the Grossarltal-Dorfgastein ski area opens its more than 80 kilometres of slopes. The new ten-seater Kieserl gondola takes you up the mountain quickly and comfortably. Those looking for adventure beyond the groomed pistes can head out on guided ski tours across untouched slopes, while snowshoe walks lead through snow-covered Alpine scenery. Meanwhile, cross-country skiers can glide across 25 kilometres of trails, and families can race downhill on toboggans. A particular highlight is the Salzburg Mountain Advent – so atmospheric that even the Christ Child might choose to holiday in Salzburger Land.
