Winter Holidays in the Salzburger Lungau Region
Moments of Winter Magic
Discover a winter wonderland! All of the 15 villages in the Salzburger Lungau region are located at an altitude of 1,000m and above. There’s no better place to slow down and spend an authentic winter holiday with the whole family. No matter if you choose to go snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or simply gaze at the snow-covered countryside. Snowshoeing tours and winter walks are especially great ways to reconnect with nature. Stroll silently and slowly through forests and across meadows covered in deep snow. Soak up the beauty of the scenery as you explore the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
Located at altitudes of up to 2,400m, the family-friendly ski resorts “Katschberg”, “Fanningberg”, “Grosseck-Speiereck” and “Obertauern” focus on quality instead of quantity and have a reliable snow cover. You only need one ticket, the “LUNGO” ski pass, to access 300 kilometres of pistes from Katschberg to Obertauern in Salzburg.
Do you want to escape the annual Christmas hustle and bustle? Then visit an Advent experience of a very special kind - the Katschberg Advent Trail.
