Ski holidays Bischofshofen - a dream in white!

Bischofshofen

With its 10,000 inhabitants, Bischofshofen, located in the heart of Salzburger Land, exudes an urban flair while still retaining a village charm. Its central location in Pongau in the shadow of the Hochkönig makes the town the perfect starting point for winter sports enthusiasts who want to explore the ski areas in Maria Alm, Dienten or Mühlbach. The Paul Ausserleitner ski jump in Bischofshofen is also a sporting venue every year. The six churches in the town and the cafés in the town centre are also well worth a visit. It's a great place to stroll and enjoy! The ski jumping metropolis is also perfectly connected by train or the A10 motorway, which limits the journey time to Salzburg, 50 kilometres to the north, to just one hour.

Pongau

The district of Pongau borders the provinces of Carinthia, Styria and Upper Austria and is traversed by the impressive Salzach Valley. Surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Hochkönig (2,941 m) and the Hohe Tauern (3,798 m), the region impresses visitors with the dreamlike and romantic atmosphere of its quaint villages and delights alpine winter sports fans with its excellent ski resorts. The latter can see for themselves why St. Johann has such a first-class reputation as one of the most important entry points to the huge "Ski amadé" ski world. A highlight of the massive mountain world is the legendary "Liechtenstein Gorge". Also well worth seeing is the Hohe Tauern National Park in the south of the region – one of the most beautiful natural worlds in Europe. It goes without saying that the sensational surroundings can be explored on a snowshoe hike or on one of the numerous cross-country skiing trails.
