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.

Hochalm at Geiereck

Highlight • Mountain Hut

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!

particularity

The Alpine shaman Rainer Limpöck describes in his books Myth Untersberg and High and Holy - encounters of people and spirits on Untersberg some phenomena that are scientifically so unexplained. This is how Limpöck thinks this is the ... place where "Middle-earth" begins, where the giant devil with his divine powers has shaped, where healing happens, where the sun shines into the underworld, where heaven and earth connect. ,
