The perfect stage for a heavenly holiday in the mountains
Near the German border at Berchtesgaden you will find an picture-book alpine world of overwhelming beauty: The Pongau region in Salzburgerland. One could almost suspect Walt Disney behind this backdrop, because the nature park framed by Dachstein, Tennengebirge, Hochkönig and the three thousand metre peaks of the Hohe Tauern is almost too beautiful to be true. Every valley here has its own special charm. First and foremost, the Mühlbach with the Hochkönig peak, the 2941 meter high landmark of the Pongau. Or Großarl, the valley of alpine pastures, and the Gastein valley with its nostalgic Belle Epoque health resort Bad Gastein.
This is where the climate of the high mountains, which are devoid of irritants, combines with the gentle factors of the low mountain ranges to create particularly relaxing holiday conditions. The cocktail of healing air, pristine nature, pure water and the warming rays of the sun gives you the energy to discover new possibilities for yourself. This is not least due to the remarkable concentration of alpine pastures, which offer mountain sports enthusiasts all of 550 places to have a snack in a dream location.
Winter Summer
In winter, the world-famous
Ski amadé ski area and the
Snow Space with its ski swing of superlatives ensure the best possible winter sports conditions. And if anyone is drawn to the city, then the historic
Mozart city of Salzburg with its baroque architecture, incredible cultural offerings and many top-class shopping opportunities is just a stone's throw away.
If all this should lie at your feet, then you are in good hands at Sonnhof Alpendorf. Because the Sonnhof is located in the middle of the Pongau and still guarantees a healthy distance to the tourist hotspots. With us you can settle in comfortably and enjoy Austria's most beautiful side one way or the other to the full.
Whether sporty, cultural, traditional, religious or just for fun: there are many interesting events in the Salzburgerland all year round. We have spared no effort and listed our personal highlights for you.
