Camping in the Salzburger Land

That's why you should camp in Salzburger Land:

  • Swimming fun at the Mondsee, Fuschlsee and Mattsee lakes
  • Winter camping in the most beautiful ski resorts in Austria
  • Tours for families, leisure hikers and mountaineers
  • Eldorado for those with a sweet tooth: Fluffy Salzburger Nockerl and Salzburger Mozartkugeln

Salzburger Land offers a perfect blend of nature and culture. The lake-rich Salzkammergut and the unique flora and fauna in the Hohe Tauern National Park make you want to go on extended hikes. The Saalachtal circuit, the Glemmtal cycle path and the Grossarltal cycle path are just some of the perfectly developed routes for cycle tours. Mystical castles and palaces are reminiscent of days gone by.

Kurcamping Erlengrund

To the south and east of the Mozart and music city of Salzburg lies the Austrian province of the same name, which invites you to enjoy a camping holiday with its picturesque mountain and lake landscapes. In Salzburger Land, for example, it is popular to visit Lake Mondsee or Lake Wolfgangsee in summer. The further south you travel, the higher the mountains rise. The Salzburg Slate Alps, the Großvenediger and the Krimml Waterfalls are the main attractions.

There are numerous campsites in the region, most of which are beautifully embedded in the surrounding natural landscape. Vitalcamping Oberwötzlhof, Sportcamping Woferlgut, Kinderbauernhof Camping Oberhasenberghof in Taxenbach, Camping Mauterndorf and Grubhof as well as Campingparadies Mattsee and Camp Mondseeland are among the most beautiful destinations for campers with idyllic pitches. Most of them are ideal for winter camping for all snow lovers.

Special features of camping in Salzburger Land

What makes camping in Salzburger Land so special is the exciting mix of nature and culture. In the north of the province, travellers can relax by the picturesque lakes and park their motorhome on the shore. This region is a particularly exciting place for families with children in summer, including for swimming and cycling excursions.

The Tauern Mountains rise up in the south. Adventurous travellers like to take a road trip on the Grossglockner Road, which leads to the most beautiful vantage points on Austria's highest mountain. Before setting off on this famous road, you can enjoy the traditional flair of Zell am See with its rustic farmhouses and hearty country cuisine. Salzburg is another interesting destination for lovers of historic castles and classical music.

How to get there

Salzburger Land borders directly on southern Bavaria and can be reached via several border crossings. Most holidaymakers first travel to Salzburg. There you can visit the Hohensalzburg Fortress and learn more about Austria's most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

It is only 150 kilometres from Munich to Salzburg. The Bavarian capital is also a useful stopover for travellers from Stuttgart, Frankfurt and northern Germany, especially as the A8 motorway leads directly to the Salzburg region from here. If you don't want to drive to Salzburg, you can turn off at Traunstein and head for Leogang and Zell am See, for example. This route is recommended if you want to see a lot of nature on the border with Germany and on the edge of the Berchtesgaden National Park. It is also the most direct route to the Grossglockner.

You can take a shortcut via Tyrol to get to Pinzgau and make a stopover in Kufstein am Wilden Kaiser or in the Zillertal. For journeys to the south-eastern part of Salzburger Land, the route via Salzburg and Bischofshofen is the best choice. The Austrian A10 motorway is the best option here.

Destinations in Salzburger Land

The Salzburger Land region offers its guests marvellous lake landscapes in the north, impressive Alpine landscapes such as in Pinzgau and culture in cities such as Salzburg.

Salzburg and the surrounding area

In Salzburg itself, the mighty Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Mozart House and the 17th-century cathedral are a real must-see. However, if you're travelling by motorhome, it's better to look for one of the campsites in Salzburger Land, just outside the city. The Salzach floodplains and the Wiestal reservoir, for example, are good options for an overnight stay. The Fuschlsee and Wolfgangsee lakes are also just a few minutes away - it is 20 to 30 kilometres to Salzburg.

Pinzgau

Pinzgau is located in the heart of Salzburger Land with well-known skiing and hiking regions such as Kaprun, Zell am See, Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Leogang and Neukirchen. These communities are excellent starting points for exploring the Alps on a hike or a motorhome excursion. The High Alpine Road leads from here to the Grossglockner. One of the most beautiful hiking routes is the Pinzgauer Höhenweg.

St. Johann im Pongau

St. Johann im Pongau and the village of Bischofshofen are among the most beautiful destinations for nature lovers in Salzburger Land. The striking Hochkönig rises up in the district. In the valleys, the Salzach babbles leisurely. Excursions can be made along the Grossarler Ache and through the Gastein Valley, which is in bloom in spring and summer.

Activities and excursion tips from Pincamp

In summer, holidaymakers can discover Salzburger Land by bike and on foot. The enchanting waters in the north offer relaxation.

Swimming

Waters such as the Mondsee, the Fuschlsee, the Mattsee and the Wolfgangsee are ideal for a summer swimming and leisure holiday with a motorhome. There are numerous campsites with direct access to the water on the shores of these lakes in northern Salzburger Land. Pure bathing fun is guaranteed at temperatures above 23 degrees Celsius.

Hiking

Hiking is a must in the south of Salzburger Land. Here you will find the mighty Alpine peaks, especially the Großvenediger. While the viewpoints on the high mountains are best reached by car, regions such as the Gastein Valley are perfect for exploring on foot. In Pinzgau, the famous high-altitude hiking trail is an option for getting to know the Alps.

Cycling

One of the most beautiful cycle routes in Salzburger Land is the tour along the Salzach. For example, you can start in the south, surrounded by the Alps, and continue to Salzburg on the border with Bavaria. Smaller routes include the 23 km Glemmtalradweg and the 77 km Barocktour.

Gastronomy

The Salzburg region is known far beyond Austria for its desserts. The Mozartkugeln, wrapped in gold-coloured aluminium paper, are an international flagship. In Salzburg's patisseries you will find many other sweet creations with chocolate, pistachios and nougat. The restaurants serve Kaiserschmarrn, Salzburger Nockerl and apple strudel with vanilla sauce.

In the countryside, the food is usually savoury. Pinzgau Kasnockn, for example, are prepared with plenty of butter, flour, eggs and mountain cheese. In Lungau, delicious cheese dumplings are served in a hearty broth. In the mountain inns, visitors can look forward to crusty bread with Bosna sausage or smoked ham. Homemade cheese is also a must in these inns.

Weather

The period from around May to the beginning of October is ideal for camping in Salzburger Land. If you are travelling in spring, you can look forward to the blooming alpine meadows, which invite you to go on extensive hikes. Temperatures at lower altitudes are then around ten to 20 degrees Celsius. It is significantly cooler in the mountains.

In summer, temperatures reach an average of 23 degrees Celsius during the day and drop to below 20 degrees Celsius in September. There is the lowest probability of rain during the transition from summer to autumn - when you can also look forward to enchanting foliage colours. Snowfall is guaranteed in winter.
