LOFER -AUSTRIA’S MOST BEAUTIFUL HIKING AND SKIING ALM

If you walk through the historic centre, you might think that you are in the middle of the shooting of a film. And indeed, not only did Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart stop here on his travels, Clint Eastwood was also fascinated by the proud buildings, the inviting restaurants, cozy cafes and the massive backdrop of the Steinberge when he made his first big Hollywood film in the 1960s ended up in the Salzburger Saalachtal .

How much would he have liked the chocolate creations from Confiserie Berger? happy? However, this was only founded in 1994 and has been enchanting people far beyond the Pinzgau ever since.

You will find two main ski schools, rafting/kayaking in Unken and a selection of small but well appointed restaurants and accommodations.

Lofer is still a popular holiday destination today, where you can find peace and relaxation and pursue your sporting passions. One of the main actors is certainly the Almenwelt

One of the most beautiful hiking areas in the Alps opens up in the summer months where skiers frolic in the family ski area and spend wonderful hours on the mountain .

Whether you choose to take the comfortable cable car to the Almenwelt Lofer, tackle the path on foot or by e-bike Climbing peaks that you would otherwise not reach – a visit up here is always a special experience.

Down in the valley, where the wild waters of the Saalach rush through the world-famous rapids of the Teufelsschlucht, water sports enthusiasts will find a true paradise with kayaking , rafting and canyoning . Even professionals appreciate the conditions here and compete once a year at the Lofer Rodeo under the gaze of thousands of spectators.
