Hiking in Pongau
Wherever you find hiking paths, cycle paths are generally not far away, and that also applies to your summer holiday in Salzburger Land. Several panoramic rides, across predominantly flat areas, as well as challenging Alpine and mountain tours which have a hint of off-road character, have been inspiring our guests on two wheels for quite a while. On a mountain bike in Pongau, head on forest roads and woodland paths, across almost impassable terrain and up high to storm the summits. Less proficient riders can hire an E-bike and enjoy the support of an electric motor on more challenging sections. Several bike hire points and charging stations on Salzburger Sonnenterrasse leave you wanting for nothing.
Road and mountain bike toursJust chill out, get the ball rolling and let the almost magical Sun Terrace landscape cast its spell over you – golfers too are very well catered for.

Fine-tune your handicap, practice the perfect tee-off and defy tricky obstacles. Thanks to the central location in Salzburger Land, there are so many other top-class facilities close by. We recommend the Golf Alpin Card for keen golfers, with green fees at over 40 courses.
How about some refreshment? Our outdoor pools and swimming lakes in Pongau aren’t just very popular on hot days. Swim, dive and frolic, or just lie by the lake in the sunshine watching the fluffy clouds go past and enjoy life. Relax at a moor lake, or enjoy a cool dip in a mountain lake? Or maybe you want a bit more action. While wild-water rafting as part of a team on the Salzach, go through spectacular rapids.
