For cheese connoisseurs
You simply have to try Steirerkas (Styrian cheese) on your travels. There are lots of rumours about how this traditional alpine product from the Schladming-Dachstein region is made. The pungent smelling grey cheese is served on bread and butter, in Steirerkrapfen doughnuts or as Kasnocken (cheese noodles).
For nature lovers
To ensure the whole family can enjoy the home-made delicacies to the full, our summer lifts take you up the mountain in comfort. The Gastein Valley is the ideal starting point for all kinds of hikes – from leisurely themed trails to scenic walks. Many of the alpine huts are particularly child-friendly and are easily accessible thanks to the Gastein mountain railways.
For those seeking tranquillity
The alpine summer in the Salzburger Sportwelt smells like home-baked farmer's doughnuts (Bauernkrapfen), sounds like authentic folk music and feels like pure relaxation. There are 19 licensed summer mountain huts in the region and 15 further huts provide accommodation.
For walkers
In the Grossarltal, the Valley of the Alms, enjoy the rustic charm of 40 cosy mountain huts, the smell of flowering mountain meadows, the purity of crystal-clear mountain lakes and the breath-taking panorama in the Hohe Tauern National Park. Walk from hut to hut with your loved ones and find true relaxation.
