at salzburg mountains
The contrasts between majestic mountains, smooth, green pastures, rumbling torrents and quiet lakes are part of what makes the Austrian Alps so attractive. Perfect for testing your limits or getting away from daily routines.
We provide you with a mountain bike map, a hiking map and a thick folder full of tour suggestions and insider tips in your ALPIN CHALET.
HIKING TRAILS
At the edge of the Hohe Tauern national park, you will find many hiking trails for the whole family, leading you to crystal-clear lakes and quaint mountain huts.
All hiking trails in Salzburger Sportwelt are marked and signposted well. Additionally, all trails are classified, so you choose the right path for your level: Blue stands for an easy hiking trail, red marks a more sporty challenge, and black is recommended for experienced hikers only accompanied by an experienced mountain guide.

From the ALPIN CHALETs, you can enter a beautiful hiking region without a car. The hiking bus or the mountain cable cars take you to many impressive round trip hikes and pick you up again when your feet are weary.
