From the frozen lakes in the north of SalzburgerLand, a string of winter sports regions stretches southwards: from the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn to Obertauern, Werfenweng, and Kitzsteinhorn. The winter lifestyle wouldn’t be complete without the legendary ski huts and the popular Alpine cuisine, featuring dishes like potato gröstl, kaspressknödel dumplings, or wild blueberry cake.
Ultra-modern cable cars, floodlit slopes, public transport, and ski circuits ensure that SalzburgerLand’s ski resorts make for a sustainable winter season.

Invigorating sulphur baths, soothing saline pools, inhalation therapies, and swimming in mineral-rich waters – the healing power of water underpins the many thermal baths and indoor pools throughout the region. Floating in a heated outdoor pool, you'll gaze up at the snowy mountain peaks and experience true Alpine wellness.
And then, once your body and mind are warm and relaxed, the fresh outdoor air will revitalise you while skiing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, or simply enjoying a peaceful walk.

Nature conservation in SalzburgerLand
Over 250 peaks above 3,000 metres and 342 glaciers can be found in the pristine region of the Alps' largest national park. At its heart is the Großglockner, Austria’s highest mountain, towering at 3,798 metres. The famous Großglockner High Alpine Road offers thrilling, winding drives – though it’s closed in winter.
Explore the great outdoors with the help of a national ranger, and you might just spot eagles, ibex, and marmots. The National Park Museum in Mittersill creatively showcases the park’s highlights under one roof.
