    Fabulous views from the top of Untersberg... although quite slippy underfoot. We took advice of other reviewers and picked up no 5 bus ... last stop is the cable car station. The cable car is packed but very smooth. A must if you are in Salzburg. Cable cars go every 30 minutes .. on the hour and half hour.

    No matter if you are a skier or not, going to the top is a must do. Beautiful views, interesting things to learn,appropriate for families with kids, decent restaurant-cafeteria with stunning view.

    I can’t really think of anything negative!

    A 30 euro trip up and down starting at the trassxpress cable car, then an undulating signposted hike in the snow approx 1hr to Sonnkogel before a return to the Schimenhohebahn cable car.
    Great views along the way, some steepish bits that we benefitted with our walking poles (the slope parts added to the fun).

    First time in Austria and we were impressed by the beauty of this place. Not just the offer of services exceeded our expectations, but the attention to detail, the efficiency, the beauty of the nature that surrounded us left us speechless. The gondola was free with our hotel pass, we had a beautiful walk by the lake to end up for lunch at the Wildkogelhaus. This place was stunning, you can’t miss it if you go there. I would go back without hesitation

    We had been here before but we didn't notice the little house with all kinds of wood souvenirs. There you can make your own walking stick, the kids pick a branch from a big pile of wood that is the right height for them, they then get a wood peeler to shave the branch and make it nice and smooth. Then the shopowner burns their name unto the stick and adds a leather string to the top of it. The kids really enjoyed this!

    We travelled through this alpine road after visiting Krimml falss and it was worth it- views are beautiful (and deserve more time than we had).

    Steep in parts but don’t be put off. Great regional views at the upper forest breakout near sheer cliffs. If icy/snowy use ice overshoes. Allow maybe 3 hours!

    Is a 20 minute drive from Salzburg but it is worth it on a nice day. We got a great view overlooking Salzburg and the snow capped mountains around.

    We have done this hike each time we have stayed in Bad Hofgastein and hike up to Bad Gastein using the Hohenweg and back using the lower trail. Very surprised to see that it has been closed for months due to repairs on the tunnel section, so it is impossible to walk the full path. When open, this is a beautiful hike. Hoping they get this repaired for next season!

    The mountain on which the fortress is located, it offers lovely views of both manmade and natural beauty as you climb down its walkway.
