There is a wide range of hiking trails in the Salzburger Land region, with something to suit everyone! On approx. 85 km of hiking trails, you can enjoy an active break from everyday life, just breathing deeply and enjoying some pristine natural landscapes. One particularly beautiful hike is the ‘IKARUS Höhenrundwanderweg’, a high-altitude circular trail, which you can explore with the whole family thanks to its wheelchair and pushchair access. Take the IKARUS cable car up to the summit of the Bischling and then follow the panoramic trail around the summit cross, which provides breathtaking views of 40 peaks in the surrounding area.
