Salzkammergut -
What is the Secret?
Salzkammergut. Off the beaten track. In the centre of life.
The Salzkammergut region - home to summer retreats and Schnürlregen, living customs and original traditions, rich in salt, lush meadows and blue-green lakes. Whether in winter, when snow-covered landscapes and cosy huts beckon, or in summer, when alpine meadows and clear lakes invite you to linger - each of the seven Salzkammergut regions has its own charm and offers a time-out in the midst of unspoilt nature and living tradition.

The pause when you stand at the summit and enjoy the indescribably beautiful view of the mountain landscape? The moment when you feel the adrenalin in your body as you cycle down the slope? Immerse yourself in the varied landscape between mountains and lakes!
