Take the panorama funicular railway up the mountain at Hallstatt to discover the mysterious attraction of this mystical area. The path leads to the tunnel mouth and into a unique underground world first dug by hand more than 3000 years ago: many kilometres of tunnels lead deep into the rock interior. Enjoy a day full of fun and information at the Salt Mine Hallstatt for the hole family.

If you have a few hours to spare in Hallstatt, taking a tour of the salt mine is a must! A steep funicular takes you up to the prep building where you will don special coveralls and meet your guide. Tour groups are a max of 65 people, but even with that number, you never feel crowded or have trouble hearing/understanding the guide and virtual displays within the mine. Touring the mine is safe, interesting, and full of little surprises, like measuring your speed on one of the wooden slides that would carry miners between different levels within the mountain!

Experience a bird's eye view of Hallstatt! The new viewing platform extends 12 metres from the mountainside and 360 meters above the ground.

There would be no reason to go to Hallstatt & not take the funicular up the mountain, unless of course, you are in shape to walk up. We are not, so we rode the funicular to the viewing platform joining the small crowd waiting patiently for their turn to snap perfect Instagram shots & gaze out at the spectacular views of the Hallstätter See & the breathtaking backdrop of still-snow-covered-in-May mountains. The wonder of nature’s majesty is evident in this peaceful place, the smooth as glass See (Lake), the endless mountains that fringe the view in every direction & fast running streams creating the perfect relaxation playlist. The price of your ticket is two-way, stop at the Information Center to get a discount coupon. Parking is the most challenging aspect of visiting Hallstatt, there is ZERO street parking, there are designated lots showing the number of open spaces available, but the day we visited, our lot showed 20+ available & there were 3. We got lucky & found a space, but driving a large vehicle is not advised, the cost to park is very reasonable, remember to take your ticket & pay at the machine before driving to the exit. We also did the Salt Mine Tour - cannot recommend, it didn’t measure up to other Salt mine tours we have done, but many people in our group enjoyed it so that is something for you to research & consider. You do not have to take the Salt Mine tour, it is a separate price, but if the weather conditions are favorable, do not miss the incredible views from the Skywalk platform & Cafe Restaurant.

Simply a gorgeous place, on par with other world attractions like Venice and Macchu Picchu. Even the bus/train ride from Salzburg is beautiful. However, do try to go before the summer crush. We were there in May when it was still chilly and it was already getting crowded once the buses rolled in. Definitely stay overnight so that you can do the fantastic hikes in the area like Echernthal or around the lake., or down the hill. Also, it's a different experience to have the old town to yourself at night.

Only a short walk from the town centre, it was wonderful to enjoy the water here. We didn't swim but paddling the feet was grand. It also provides a great vantage point for thrilling vistas of the lake and town.

Visited during winter and was blessed with a clear sunny day. Took a boat ride on this beautiful lake and loved the reflections of the mountain and the town in the waters. Best to visit in the morning.
