Hiking vacations in Salzburg – Summer Hiking Adventures

The SalzburgerLand’s hikers prize the abundance of extraordinary landscapes.  The gentle hill country that surrounds the lakes in the north, the interplay of friendly grass-topped mountains, rugged crags and picturesque alpine lakes to the south.

The people who live here in the SalzburgerLand also understand how valuable these unique landscapes truly are.  More than 10% of the SalzburgerLand is part of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the biggest national park in all of Austria.  In fact, 30% of the state’s total land area is protected.

So as to better sustain the vulnerable eco-system of this mountain world, cars are banned from many of the side valleys.  Instead, these valleys are serviced by public buses or hiking shuttles.
