Top Spots in Winter
Winter top spots in the Salzburger Saalachtal are those places...
...where we can enjoy and witness at first hand the spectacle of nature in all its rich variety from the best seats in the house: deep in snow, far from any distractions but still right in the middle of the action.
Have any of you ever discovered a snow-covered tree and couldn't get enough of it? Which of you has been entranced by the glistening and sparkling of the snow up on the mountains or perhaps absorbed the peace and silence of a frozen stream? Or have you ever seen a herd of deer grazing at the edge of the forest and really felt the magic of the moment? Then you will understand what we mean when we talk about our top spots.
You can discover winter top spots in many places in the Salzburger Saalachtal. You can find them down in the snow-covered valley; up on the mountains glistening with snow; alongside the frozen streams and rivers and of course in the sleeping winter forests.
Top spots for ski enthusiasts are found in the Almenwelt Lofer and in Heutal in Unken or where snowshoers stop to wonder at the nature around them. Families and couples will find a special place at the church in Maria Kirchental where they can swish back down to the valley by sledge. Ski tourers enjoy their top spots on the lonely, peaceful peaks in the Naturpark Weißbach.
