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.
