• Leogang
• Saalbach
• Zell am See

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee

We chose the route from Klagenfurt am Wörthersee via Heiligenblut to avoid crossing the German border and thus potential traffic jams. Please check for current conditions before choosing this route. The Felbertauern Tunnel, especially in winter, may be closed.

Heiligenblut

To make the journey to Salzburg feel less long, you can make a stop in Heiligenblut. Here too, you'll find many hiking trails, cycling routes, and in winter, a first-class ski resort with views of the Grossglockner. Our journey continued from Heiligenblut through the Felbertauern Tunnel to Salzburg. After that, we opted for the Tyrolean side and drove via Kitzbühel. If you don't have much time for your vacation, you can also drive from Salzburg via Zell am See to Saalbach instead of through Tyrol.

Kitzbühel

Griaß enk! A quick stop in Tyrol before heading to Fieberbrunn. We wanted to start our Alpine trip with idyllic hikes around Kitzbühel and indulge in the wellness oasis at the campsite by Schwarzsee. Whether in the height of summer or the depths of winter, Kitzbühel is in the heart of the Alps and is an excellent destination for sports and relaxation all year round.

A Trip to the Alps: Salzburg

What makes this place special is its diversity, variety, and vastness!

Our highlight wasn't just Pinzgauer Kasnocken, but also the warm hospitality of the alpine pastures and huts.

Even in summer, the gondolas don't stop: The Epic Bikepark Leogang is one of the best bike parks in Europe and attracts everyone from beginners to pros. Over 80 kilometers of lines and trails, downhill tracks, and numerous tours are accessible in Saalbach, Leogang, and Fieberbrunn with a single ticket.

For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, there are countless hikes, via ferratas, and mountain tours amidst the Alps. The Leogang Mountains and the rugged limestone giants form a beautiful backdrop for miles of well-maintained hiking trails that appeal to nature lovers, athletic peak baggers, and pleasure seekers alike.
