More to Know in Saalbach
This spectacular journey takes you over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, an incredible feat of engineering with stunning views. From the Franz-Josef's Höhe you'll see the Pasterze glacier and maybe catch a glimpse of 3,798-metre summit of the Grossglockner. Keep a look out for the wild marmots and Ibex too - they love the high alpine conditions. You can visit the free museums and exhibitions to learn about the National Park or enjoy a walk round the area and a tasty Austrian mountain meal.
Salzburg is a city full of culture, history and music. Visit Mozart’s birthplace, enjoy the view from the Hohensalzburg Fortress, or wander the famous Getreidegasse shopping street. Immerse yourself in history as you explore the medieval Old Town, discover museums and Baroque churches or visit the Salzburg Residenz Palace - the DomQuartier.
There's a few options for you to choose from on this interesting trip to Berchtesgaden. Spend the day discovering the pretty Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden itself, or choose one of the optional extras that you can add on to your day (difference payable locally).
The most famous is the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest). Explore the historic building and surrounding area, with spectacular views on a clear day over the King's Lake. The house is famous for being Nazi-constructed and was used for government and social meetings by Hitler and the Nazi Party. Alternatively, head underground to see the Salt Mines. A network of tunnels and slides take you on an underground adventure discovering this once very important industry.
Bustling villages
Explore pretty, pedestrianised centres with a good selection of shops, cafés and restaurants. There's a friendly, energetic atmosphere that extends out into the mountains where you'll find authentic mountain huts. You can easily walk between the villages along a path that follows the Saalbach River, or hop on the hiker's bus (free with the Joker Card).
Paradise for mountain bikers
Test your endurance on the Big-5 challenge, which links Saalbach and Hinterglemm with Leogang across five mountains, six gondolas and 5,000 metres of descent. With over 80 kilometres of the finest downhill trails, plus hundreds of kilometres of mountain bike and gravel bike routes of varying difficulty, it's safe to say bike enthusiasts will be happy here.
Exciting adventures
Head through a canyon course that offers rockpool jumping, waterfall slides, zip lining and abseiling. Test your head for heights on Europe's largest high ropes park or experience the ultimate flying experience - the Flying Fox is 120 metres high and can get to speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour.
Fantastic family activities
A family game of mini golf, go-karting, learning to ride a bike, or splashing in the Devil's Water. There's plenty to keep children of all ages entertained. At the end of the valley, the 'Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps' is a 200 metre long suspension bridge that forms part of the highest treetop trail in Europe. Test your balance in the slack line park or discover the many adventure playgrounds dotted around the valley. There are also lots of child-friendly walking trails.
Visit Sigmund-Thun-Klamm
The wooden walkway through the Sigmund-Thun Klamm is a spectacular journey through a deep rocky gorge and over impressive waterfalls. It's the other side of Zell am See so use public transport to get there. Hop on the bus from Saalbach Hinterglemm to Zell am See and then take the connecting service to the gorge.
We also recommend a day trip to the Wasserfallboden and Mooserboden Reservoirs or the Krimml Waterfalls - the highest in Europe and fifth highest in the world.
