Everything you need to know about Saalachspitz
Hotel Alpenhof is a top recommendation near Saalachspitz, offering breathtaking alpine vistas and direct access to hiking trails just a 10-minute walk from the property. Its modern Alpine-style rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views of the Salzburg mountains, especially stunning at sunrise.
For eco-conscious travelers, Alpendorf Mountain Lodge stands out with its sustainable design using renewable materials and natural spa facilities, including an outdoor thermal pool and herbal therapy treatments. Both hotels are within a 25-minute drive from Salzburg city center, making them ideal bases for day trips to the historic old town or nearby attractions like Mozart's Birthplace and Hohensalzburg Fortress.
Traveling from Salzburg city center to Saalachspitz is straightforward. Take bus line 61 from Hauptbahnhof, which runs every 30 minutes and reaches the "Saalachspitz" stop in about 30 minutes—just €2.50 one way.
For a scenic alternative, rent an electric bike and follow the Salzach River Greenway, a well-maintained path that winds through forests and riverside meadows, taking roughly 45 minutes. During summer, SALZBURG-TOURISTIK operates dedicated shuttle buses with multiple daily departures from the city center to key alpine trailheads, including free multilingual tour guides. All options provide easy, eco-friendly access to this peaceful mountain retreat.
Saalachspitz offers exceptional outdoor experiences, especially high-altitude hiking and stargazing tours. In summer, trails like the 5-kilometer "Rosenkranz Trail" lead through wildflower meadows and ancient forests to panoramic viewpoints overlooking the entire Salzburg region.
During winter, it transforms into a family-friendly ski destination with three intermediate slopes and a modern cable car system. Evening stargazing excursions are particularly popular—due to minimal light pollution, the night sky reveals stunning Milky Way views, guided by local astronomers using telescopes.
Local farms also host immersive alpine shepherd experiences, where visitors can participate in milking cows, crafting cheese, and learning traditional mountain farming practices.

Room 4 & 5 Apartments
A perfect weekend getaway for a couple, staying in the sky lounge was an absolute delight. From the moment we arrived, everything we needed was right there—no missing essentials, no stress. We got there early and called to ask if we could check in sooner; the team was incredibly helpful and arranged it without any hassle. The apartment itself was stunning: modern, clean, and thoughtfully designed with all the comforts of home. Our only small suggestion would be upgrading the TV to a smart one for more streaming options. Also, maybe one extra towel per person for a week-long stay—because who wouldn’t want to soak in that gorgeous bathtub every single day? Location-wise, it couldn’t be better: just a short walk into the heart of Salzburg’s main town, surrounded by fantastic local restaurants. Plus, the apartment provided a detailed, well-curated guide to hidden gems nearby—truly thoughtful. We’d absolutely return and recommend this place to anyone visiting Salzburg. A top-tier experience from start to finish.

Its location is fantastic—just a short walk from downtown Salzburg, making it easy to explore the city on foot or hop on the tram for nearby attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any request. One of the highlights was the consistent hot water supply—perfectly warm and reliable, so bathing was never an issue. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Salzburg and would consider staying here again.

What stands out most is how personal and authentic the experience feels, like staying in a private Viennese villa rather than a chain hotel.

Villa Ceconi by Das Grüne Hotel Zur Post - 100% Bio
Staying at Das Grüne Hotel Zur Post - 100% Bio was an absolute delight from start to finish. The bedding was incredibly comfortable—soft, fresh, and perfect for a restful night’s sleep. The location is ideal if you love outdoor activities; hiking trails, scenic views, and nature walks are just minutes away without needing to drive far.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the train station, and everything you need is within easy reach. The hotel is well-equipped and offers a comfortable stay with great convenience. I’d definitely recommend it for travelers looking for a hassle-free experience in Salzburg.
Hotel Plainbrucke | Self Check-IN
The hotel is conveniently located—just a one-minute walk from the bus stop and only a 10-minute ride into the city center, making it super easy to explore Salzburg. The room was spacious with rustic wooden furnishings and carpeted flooring, giving it a cozy, homey feel. However, there was no air conditioning, which made the room quite warm during August, especially at night. The windows didn’t block much light, so sleeping was a bit tricky if you’re sensitive to light. The bathroom door is glass, offering limited privacy—something to keep in mind if you value that. The bed came with typical sleep sacks, but the mattress cover had a few stains, which slightly affected the cleanliness impression. On the bright side, the breakfast was excellent—huge variety of both sweet and savory options, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Despite a few minor drawbacks, the location, comfort, and breakfast make this a solid choice for travelers looking for value and convenience.
Institut St.Sebastian
Staying at Institut St. Sebastian in Salzburg was an absolute highlight. Right in the heart of the city, yet surprisingly quiet and peaceful—perfect for a relaxing break. The family room we booked comfortably fit two adults and two children, with spacious layout and modern, bright interiors thanks to a recent renovation. Everything was spotless: clean bedding, fresh towels, and thoughtfully designed rooms. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the housekeeping team went out of their way to ensure our stay was smooth. Breakfast was served in a lovely dining area with a fantastic variety of options—there was something for everyone, from hearty local specialties to light pastries and fresh fruit. The quality and presentation were outstanding. It’s rare to find such a well-balanced mix of comfort, cleanliness, and hospitality. We’ll definitely be back—this hotel truly exceeded our expectations.
Appartements Steingasse
We stayed at Appartements Steingasse for four nights in December to explore Salzburg and enjoy the Christmas market. The apartment was spotless, well-maintained, and perfectly suited for our needs—just a short walk from the city center, shopping areas, and local amenities. It took only about five minutes to reach the Christmas market, which was a major highlight. Everything worked smoothly, and communication with the owner was friendly and efficient. Edda greeted us with a warm smile, making us feel welcome right away. The furnishings were in good condition, all appliances functioned well, and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. We prepared our own breakfasts using nearby grocery shops—convenient and fresh. For travelers coming in or out of the airport, bus stops are just steps away, and tickets cost just a few euros. The location was quiet and peaceful, ideal for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. The cobblestone street might be a bit tricky for those with mobility issues, but we’re both in our 60s and managed it without any problems. Overall, this was a fantastic stay—we highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Salzburg.
Johannes-Schlößl der Pallottiner
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight. Located right in the heart of Salzburg, yet surprisingly peaceful and surrounded by nature—such a perfect balance between city convenience and serene retreat. The welcome was incredibly warm and personal, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and full of charm. And the breakfast? Absolutely outstanding—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully presented. Every detail felt cared for. If you're looking for a memorable stay with that special touch, this is it. Highly recommend! It's more than just a place to sleep—it's an experience.
