Gaisbergspitze

  Rising above Salzburg, Gaisbergspitze offers a panoramic view that stretches over the city's rooftops and the surrounding Alps. Historically, this peak has served as a popular destination for both locals and tourists since the late 19th century, particularly during the summer months. At an elevation of 1,288 meters, visitors can hike its trails or take a scenic drive up to enjoy the sweeping vistas. In the fall, the changing colors of the foliage provide a striking backdrop, making it a beautiful time for photography enthusiasts. Once at the summit, you can explore the area, which is often frequented by hikers hoping to spot local wildlife like chamois or various bird species.
