Hiking Holiday in Radstadt

Tours for gentle cruisers, families & mountain addicts

Mountaineers love exploring the many summits in this region under their own steam. In Salzburgerland and the Schladming-Dachstein region there are so many routes to choose from, many of which are circuits, ranging from flat valley tours, walks through the foothills and along the ridgelines to routes for experienced mountaineers only. Those who like climbing, will love the high number of via ferrata routes, for every level.

Radstadt’s hiking bus to Rossbrand Ridge

Visiting our landmark mountain, Rossbrand, at 1,768 m above sealevel, should be part of everyone’s holiday in Radstadt especially in summer. The full 360’ panoramic views cover 150 alpine peaks and are very impressive when the weather is clear. For ease of identification, the peaks are marked on information boards. A lovely way to mark your visit is with a break in the Radstädter Hut, which offers home-made cakes, regional dishes and drinks.

Salzburger Sportworld Bus

During the summer months (approx. end of June to end of September) the Sportworld hiking bus runs between the different hiking areas, taking you comfortably to the start of many hikes and then bringing you home again for just € 1 per trip. The routes run throughout the Salzburger Sportworld region (apart from St. Johann). From Radstadt, you can access Altenmarkt-Eben-Filzmoos, Flachau-Flachauwinkl, Wagrain-Kleinarl as well as Untertauern-Obertauern with the Sportworld bus.

Reaching the heights with the lifts

With lift-assisted hiking you glide effortlessly up into the high alpine pastures, to a tourist attraction or kid’s activity mountain. Sometimes you reach the mountain restaurant, viewing platform, a suspension bridge, a scenic lake or kid’s adventure trail right from the top of the lift, some require a bit more effort! Using the lift to take a ridgeline summit walk, a sporty tour or just a gentle cruise up in the mountains. The descent can be made with the lift, a summer toboggan, a mountain cart or even a mountainbike! Naturally you can also walk down.
