Travelling with the hiking bus

Hiking for every ability level

The Salzburger Almenweg aims to make hiking as easy as possible for holidaymakers with its bus service. The starting point for a mountain tour often cannot be reached by car. The hiking bus takes you to the valley head from where you can start climbing the mountains. It also makes it possible for more leisurely hikers to enjoy attractive mountain destinations that are further away, as the ascent is shorter.

The Salzburg region is a hiking paradise for young and old and for all ability levels. The yellow hiking information boards describe the route in a clear manner. The hiking maps are updated in line with this system. Enjoy the scent of blooming alpine meadows, the crystal-clear water of the mountain lakes, the breathtaking panoramic view of the Salzburg mountains and many cosy alpine huts.

Harvest festival
