SUMMER ACTIVITIES
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.
HIKING BUS
From the locations of the ALPIN CHALETS, an impressive hiking area stretches out, easily accessible even without a car. The hiking bus or mountain railways offer beautiful circular tours. Rides on the hiking buses are free in all towns with your guest card.
MOUNTAIN CABLEWAYS
The mountain railways transport you to the best starting points for hikes, mountain bike tours, and special family mountain experiences. Once at the top, you can visit one of the traditional mountain huts or simply enjoy the view. This service is especially popular with families, but mountain bikers also use the lifts and gondolas in the summer.
SUMMER MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE INCLUDED
For ALPIN CHALET guests at the Filzmoos, Wagrain, and Kleinarl locations, the Filzmoos and Shuttleberg Kleinarl mountain railways are included with the guest card.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
The trail is the goal – enjoy the region’s extensive MTB network.
The Salzburg Sportwelt offers a sprawling MTB trail network of around 500 kilometers, including routes in Flachau, Flachauwinkl, Wagrain-Kleinarl, and Filzmoos. The region impresses with its expertise in biking, variety, and an unmatched range of services. Designated downloadable routes, relaxed hosts, and skilled guides ensure that mountain bikers can explore the area in the best possible way. One of the highlights is the ultimate bike challenge, the 'Stoneman Taurista' - stoneman-taurista.com.
For families with young bikers, we recommend Shuttleberg in Kleinarl with the Kids Trail and the Boom Park in Wagrain at the Flying Mozart middle station.
RENTAL EQUIPMENT
Mountain bikes, trekking bikes, hiking shoes, and Nordic walking poles in all sizes including kid’s sizes; our partners will provide you with equipment for all your needs. If ordered ahead, your rental equipment will be waiting in your ALPIN CHALET upon your arrival. Links to our local partners can be found at the respective location.
RAFTING, CANYONING & KAYAKING
When rafting, canyoning or kayaking you are as close to nature as when hiking through the gorge but the ride on the white-water is full of action that you will not forget.
