Your active holiday in the Salzburg mountains

Your adventure in Saalfelden Leogang

Nature, activity and adventure right on our doorstep.

The moment you step outside, Salzburg’s mountains are calling. Cross-country ski trails, hiking paths and cycling routes start almost right at Schörhof, and all around us, the full variety of the Saalfelden Leogang region is waiting to be discovered. In summer, you can hike to rustic alpine huts or cycle through the valley. In winter, freshly groomed cross-country trails and deeply snow-covered slopes beckon. We know every corner of our home region and will guide you through your active holiday in Salzburger Land with our best insider tips.

Hiking, biking and swimming in Salzburg’s summer

    Biking & Cycling

    If you love getting on the pedals, you’ve come to the right place.

    Hiking & Climbing

    Around 400 kilometres of hiking trails of all difficulty levels lead you to rustic alpine huts, crystal-clear mountain lakes and scenic summits. The best way to explore is with father Alois, who personally accompanies you to his favourite spots and brings the nature of our home region to life along the way. If you prefer to conquer the mountains vertically, you’ll find via ferratas and a high ropes course close by.

    Our tip: If you head to the Steinalm and reserve in advance, you’ll be rewarded with a wonderful alpine breakfast and views across the Saalfelden basin.

Whether it’s your first try or you already have a steady hand, you can rent the right equipment from our reception on request.
