Excursions to Salzburg

The small village of Rauris has a particularly attractive church and main street lined with cafés, bars, restaurants and a few shops including two mini-markets. Although Rauris does not claim to be the liveliest resort, there are several bars to choose from including some lively umbrella bars which fill as the slopes empty. Non-skiers will appreciate the great choice of non-ski activities on offer, plus various excursions.

Sledding Fun
Flying down towards the village on a groomed toboggan run just has to be done. The lift is open from 7am until 8.30pm - floodlit in the evenings for après-ski fun.

Explore Off the Beaten Track
Escape the crowds on snowshoes and explore the beautiful winter landscapes surrounding Rauris. The resort offers weekly guided tours or you can hire a guide in resort.

Winter Hilking
Rauris provides no less than 35km of cleared walking trails in and around the National Park surrounding Rauris. These tranquil walks provide fantastic scenic views of the pristine countryside and a great chance to spot local wildlife. Make sure you stop in at one of the mountain inns dotted along the trails for a warming drink or two.

Adventurous Ice Climbing
For those with strong nerves, ice climbing is possible on some spectacular frozen waterfalls in the valleys close to Rauris. Lessons and guiding is available from an instructor based in Rauris.

Head off for the Day
For non-skiers or anyone wanting a day off the slopes, Rauris is close to some interesting places for day excursions. The local schnapps distillery and microbrewery in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park is a short drive away and the beautiful, historic city of Salzburg is just over an hour’s drive away.

Horse Drawn Sleigh Rides
Snuggled warm under lots of blankets, take a delightful horse-drawn sleigh ride through the stunning national park scenery surrounding Rauris.
