Salzburger Hochthron

Highlight • Summit

Great summit, I was even able to marvel at a griffon vulture during my visit. Reachable from the mountain station in about 20 minutes.

The Hochalm is only a few meters away from the Geiereck. The perfect place to catch your breath after climbing the summit. Apple strudel and a fantastic view, what more could you ask for?

You can even stay overnight at the hut. There are 20 beds in a small dormitory. Be sure to register beforehand!

Geiereck

Highlight • Summit

After the short climb from the mountain station of the cable car, an incredible panoramic view awaits you up here. At the iron summit cross you have a spectacular view over the foothills of the Alps, down to Salzburg and over the Alps.

Untersberg Cable Car Mountain Station

Highlight • Rest Area

High above Salzburg towers the Untersberg – a mountain full of stories and mysterious places. Legends tell of dwarves, emperors, and hidden caves. Those who set out on the trail will encounter tranquil forests, rugged cliffs, and sweeping vistas. Well-marked trails lead to alpine pastures and peaks. Those who wish can take the Untersbergbahn cable car to the Geiereck. The return journey? Whichever way you prefer – downhill through nature or via other routes back to the valley.
