Salzburger Sonnenterrasse didn’t get its name by chance. Thanks to the special location of our towns on a plateau in Salzach Valley, they enjoy a particularly high amount of warming sunshine. Even at the winter solstice on 21st December we have on average a full seven hours of sunshine. Yet our location has many other benefits. Although we nestle amid the wonderful panorama of the Alps, excursion destinations including Salzburg and Hohe Tauern National Park are quick and easy to get to. In winter we are the gateway to Ski amadé – the biggest winter sports area in all of Europe. Your holiday in Salzburger Sonnenterrasse promises all that and more!

Located idyllically on the Salzburg Sun Terrace, St. Veit im Pongau welcomes its guests with historic charm and vibrant traditions. Around the parish church of St. Vitus and the market square, you can experience local customs, fine cuisine, theatre, and music – all set within the natural beauty of the Salzburg region.
The charming village is situated on a high plateau above the Salzach Valley, nestled in the impressive mountain world of the Alps.
Goldegg Castle, dating back to the 14th century, is reflected in the moor lake at its feet and blends harmoniously with the church and the historic village center. This is a place to arrive, a place to leave everyday life behind.
Behind the castle walls, cultural life in the village unfolds. The local cultural association hosts concerts, readings, and exhibitions here. The studios of the art academy and the Pongau local history museum are also located here.
Not only the Goldegg moor lake with its bathing facility in the style of the 1920s, but also the crystal-clear Böndlsee offer refreshing swimming opportunities for those seeking relaxation. Another special experience is the Goldegg Golf Club with its 18-hole championship course, which impresses with breathtaking views and challenging layouts.
Schwarzach im Pongau only became an independent municipality at the beginning of the 20th century and has developed significantly since then. Today, the town is shaped by its important railway station, the Railway Museum, and the Kardinal Schwarzenberg Hospital. Slightly outside the town lies the historic Schernberg Castle, once an archiepiscopal brewery and now owned by the Sisters of Mercy.
