Awaiting you on your tour of the Tennengau mountains

Hiking in Tennengau exceeds every expectation

The Tennengau is a region shaped by three distinctive landscapes: the mountains of the Osterhorn Group in the north, an area rich in alpine pastures, the fiercely jagged ridgeline of the Gosaukamm, and the karst massif of the Tennengebirge in the south. On more than 300 marked paths, laid-back hikers find pure joy and avid mountaineers the challenges they crave.

Certified mountain guides accompany you on hiking tours in SalzburgerLand ranging from easy to strenuous, always there to assist in matters of safety, equipment and tour planning. Make full use of your TennengauPLUS Card and the guest mobility ticket and ride the buses and trains for free throughout your holidays.
