A highlight for pleasure-seekers: Fall in Salzburger Land is pure magic. Nature glows in vibrant colors, the light turns golden, and the views are breathtaking. Crisp air, perfect weather, and Austria’s finest cuisine make autumn the perfect time to recharge before winter.
A fall getaway to the mountains – peace, fresh forest air, and gentle activity bring body and mind into balance. Stronger immunity, deeper breathing, restful sleep, and a radiant complexion – autumn truly feels like an elixir of life.
The conditions for hikers are at their healthiest in the fall. What’s more, you can still let off steam to your heart’s content at all altitudes until October. This is especially true for the Sonnhof, because here you can enjoy easy to high alpine tours as well as completely different hiking experiences.
A bike gives you wings – even in the alpine autumn. No matter your fitness level or cycling style, St. Johann Alpendorf has everything a two-wheel enthusiast could wish for. The best tour tips, rental equipment, and even a fully packed picnic backpack are ready and waiting for you.
In autumn, the conditions are ideal to fully enjoy golfing fun without any entry hurdles. On our own golf course just around the corner (8 km), you can train for free with no limits, get your license to play in just a few days and even play a round without a license. Advanced players benefit from top coaching and exciting challenges.
During harvest time, Austria is a culinary delight. Enjoy seasonal treats like pumpkin, chestnuts, wild mushrooms, cabbage strudel, game, and Martini goose. For indulgence, try poppy seed noodles or seasonal drinks like Salzburg’s “Herbstgold” beer and “Sturm.” Most of these delights are included with our Sonnhof cuisine.
Full relaxation
Autumn is perfect for unwinding by the crackling fireplace and curling up in comfort, especially after outdoor activities. Enjoy extended sauna sessions, relaxing treatments, daily yoga, curated reading, or cozy alpine vibes. With our inviting rooms, private spa, library, and bar, you have plenty of options for relaxation.
Thrilling traditions
In fall, traditions come alive with harvest feasts and celebrations. From late August to October, the “Salzburger Bauernherbst” features hundreds of events, offering a deep dive into Austrian culture. Enjoy folk festivals, colorful rituals like the Almabtrieb, and hands-on experiences such as cooking classes, yodeling workshops, and arts and crafts. Traditional costumes are also in vogue, available for you to explore and wear.
Yoga & spiritual discovery tours
Autumn’s tranquility is perfect for slowing down and reflecting, especially in November. Enjoy the solitude of the mountains and immerse yourself in nature for contemplation and personal growth. Our yoga team offers an expanded program and mini-workshops for a touch of “selfness de luxe” this month.
