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.

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.
