> Wagrain – a place to stay Wagrain is a place that couldn’t be more typical of the Salzburg region. A dreamy panorama extends between stately mountain slopes and gentle Alpine meadow scenery. At 850 metres above sea level, a great variety of activities will tempt you in the summer as well as winter. With sporty challenges, relaxing hikes, thrilling excursions or just the pleasure of doing nothing - feeling good is not a foreign expression for anyone here.
In this holiday region that is rich in tradition, hospitality and sociability are quite at home. The natural surroundings, the magnificent, fragrant mountain air, the friendly people, and not least the close proximity to the festival city and airport of Salzburg make this location into a popular travel destination.
140 kilometres of marked hiking and walking trails, Alpine huts with catering and specially marked mountain bike routes ensure a rich, summery, field of activities. In the winter, on the other hand, carvers, Alpine skiers and snowboarders can look forward to innumerable lifts, 860 magnificent kilometres of powdery slopes, and almost 300 kilometres of prepared cross-country ski trails in the Amadé Ski World.
If that weren’t enough active recreational activities, Wagrain still offers pure swimming fun with the Amadé Water World. Completely independent of whether it is stormy or snowing or if the sun is shining, water fans are always at the right place here.However, Wagrain is also famous for “Silent Night”. Who doesn’t know it, this beautiful and devotional Christmas carol? The lyricist Joseph Mohr lived here. When touring through the silent night district, you can find many interesting places of the writer.
