Winter lasts longer here

14 of the 15 towns in Salzburg’s Lungau region are located at altitudes above 1,000 meters. Because of this high elevation, snow often arrives earlier here and stays on the ground longer than elsewhere. So you can enjoy snow-covered landscapes, crisp winter air, and sunny days from late November well into spring.
