You choose freely between adventure and wellness, between urban flair and rural calm, between living tradition and design hotels. Summer and winter reveal two sides of the same mountain world. This variety makes the region attractive year-round: countless ways to be active, standout cultural events and many moments of indulgence.
Spend winter in Saalfelden Leogang and you have a choice. Go for a classic ski holiday in the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn with 270 kilometres of downhill runs, Austria’s most laid-back ski area, combined with a restorative wellness stay in first-class spa hotels. Or opt for winter hiking, cross-country skiing and ice-skating. Around Lake Ritzensee, the Nordic Park Saalfelden brings together the nordic offerings: cross-country skiing trails including floodlit sections, winter walking paths, the popular Fun & Snow Park for playful cross-country skills, plus food, drink and small events. The natural ice rink on the frozen Ritzensee is part of it as well. Sledding fun is also on the winter program, with several toboggan runs in the region offering variety by day and in the evening.
The rugged rock formations of the Steinernes Meer and the Leoganger Steinberge make alpinists’ hearts beat faster. At the same time, gentle grass mountains offer relaxed routes for connoisseurs. Instead of numbers, “Einfach Wandern” focuses on the essentials: walking, looking, breathing deeply. Along many routes, special benches, forest swings and photo points invite you to change perspective. Practical too: pole sharing at selected starting points.
Saalfelden Leogang is also part of Austria’s largest bike region, Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn, with over 105 km of lines and trails, 7 mountains and 9 lifts. EPIC Bikepark Leogang, international bike events, specialist accommodation, shops and bike schools make your bike holiday complete. For cooling off in summer there is the idyllic natural bathing lake Ritzensee and two outdoor pools in Saalfelden and Leogang.
Culture fans get their money’s worth. At the Jazzfestival Saalfelden at the end of August each year, the city and surrounding nature resonate. In the mountains, ALM:KULTUR dates combine tradition with contemporary impulses. On the Asitz, the mountain becomes a stage at TONspuren am Asitz with evening concerts and far-reaching views.
Holidays mean enjoyment and relaxation. Exclusive wellness hotels meet honest Pinzgau cuisine with regional ingredients. A special highlight for foodies: 17 Gault&Millau toques across 7 restaurants, plus 2 Guide MICHELIN restaurants in the region. Whether organic specialties carrying the “Echt. Gsund. Guad.” quality label or modern fine-dining creations, regionality is a lived practice here.
