Hollersbach im Pinzgau: Mountains, Trails and Art

Hollersbach im Pinzgau combines an impressive mountain landscape with waterside trails, regional nature and a remarkable cultural offering. This gives you a wide range of options for planning your trip: you can focus on the panoramic cable car and the alpine scenery, follow the Hollersbach, choose a mountain hut as your destination or discover art and history.

Into the mountains by panoramic cable car

The modern Panoramabahn Hollersbach gondola lift takes guests to the Resterkogel mountain station at an altitude of 1,892 metres in 12 minutes. In winter, it is the southernmost access point to the world-famous KitzSki ski area. From Hollersbach, winter sports enthusiasts have direct access to around 170 kilometres of perfectly groomed pistes of all difficulty levels. Those looking for a holiday apartment for a winter holiday can therefore first decide whether to focus on the ski area or on other experiences in the village.

The gondola ride is also an attraction in its own right in summer. It offers breathtaking views of Hohe Tauern National Park and a unique panorama of the Alpine landscape. When choosing your accommodation, you can take into account the difference between an active day of hiking and an excursion by cable car.

Waterways and alpine tours

The Bachlehrweg nature trail begins at the entrance to the Hollersbach Valley by the Seestube car park and runs along the Hollersbach stream to the Wirtsalm. The trail offers a practical opportunity to get to know the valley up close and make the course of the stream the central theme of an excursion. For planning your day, the specified route between the Seestube car park and Wirtsalm is particularly important.

The tours involving the Fürtherhütte have a different focus. For mountaineers and ambitious hikers, it is a welcome base on the Tauern Westweg or Arnoweg trails. This means that different travel ideas stand side by side in Hollersbach: an excursion along the stream, a ride into the mountains or a more demanding undertaking on a trail known beyond the region.

Discover nature and enjoy local specialities

The Bee Nature Trail offers views of the Hohe Tauern panorama and complements the larger mountain attractions with a nature experience centred on its own theme. If, in addition to peaks and cable cars, you would also like to learn about the smaller interconnections within the landscape, this visit can be easily incorporated into a more leisurely day.

The bookable “This Is What Nature Tastes Like” module combines gathering, preparation and tasting. Participants can collect herbs and plants in the vicinity of the National Park Workshop, process them in the National Park Kitchen at Klausnerhaus and taste the delicacies prepared from them. When looking for a holiday apartment, this offer may be a useful reference point if local food and shared experiences are among your preferred travel interests.

Art and history in the village

Hollersbach im Pinzgau also has a clear cultural profile beyond the mountains. Individual pieces from the Baroque interior of the parish church of Saint Vitus can still be viewed in the local history museum. Every August, the Painters’ Weeks turn the village into a venue for international art. On this occasion, participants can develop their skills in various painting techniques under the guidance of artists at the “Kramerstall” art gallery.

When choosing your accommodation, it is therefore worth deciding in advance what mix of travel experiences you want: cable cars and winter sports, trails in the Hollersbach Valley, nature-related activities, regional cuisine or art in August all lead to different daily itineraries.
