ALTENMARKT - ZAUCHENSEE FOR YOUR VACATION

Altenmarkt, also known as the "Sunny Heart of the Enns-Pongau region", is a beautiful town  in the Salzburger Land (only 65 km from Salzburg City, home of the world-famous festival and "City of Mozart"), a place where the ambience of ancient traditions and authentic customs can be felt wherever you go.

At first glance, visitors notice the open and young face of Altenmarkt-Zauchensee.  But its feet are also firmly planted on historic ground: attesting to this is Altenmarkt's parish church, which features a stone statue of the "Holy Mary with Child" dating from 1393, together with a variety of contrasting architectural styles, such as a Gothic nave and a late-Baroque onion tower.

Green meadows, lush high pastures and romantic mountain tarns are the summertime characteristics of this deeply rooted, typical Salzburg market community .  

The refreshingly clear air, clean mountain streams and a broad range of recreational opportunities, including hiking, cycling and bridle paths, golf, sports and swimming lakes, plus lots more, all make their own special contribution to a truly successful vacation - an atmosphere which invites you to relax, unwind and forget the usual daily routine!
 
In winter, enjoy the benefits of an optimal location in the midst of the ski area.  The Zauchtalerhof lies right on the slopes of the Altenmarkt- Radstadt ski area. Zauchensee (see photo above) is easy to reach with the ski shuttle. The legendary "Tauern Trail" - setting for the famous annual "Tauern Run" - is only 900 meters away. And then there's winter riding - always a memorable experience.  Head out along the winter hiking paths and enjoy our magnificent panoramas, or take a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride as you explore the countryside!

Direct access to the "Ski Circus" right from our front door - with the state-of-the-art lifts of the Ski Amadé, glorious sun-drenched slopes, sun-skiing in springtime and warm, friendly huts when it's time for a refreshment break.  At the base station of the Altenmarkt lifts, you will find a practice lift for beginners and a ski kindergarten for the youngsters.
