Hiking · Summer in the Lammertal

A thousand paths.
One starts at your door.

Dachstein, Gosaukamm, Bischofsmütze, Tennengebirge — four mountain ranges, over 30 marked trails, one starting point.

Annaberg-Lungötz

Where the mountains
draw closer.

From the gentle Hay Figure Trail to the legendary Stairway to Heaven on the Donnerkogel — the Lammertal is one of the most varied hiking regions in Salzburg. Families find soft alpine paths, climbers their summit, pilgrims the Salzalpensteig.
