Unforgettable mountain experiences - golden autumn in Saalfelden Leogang

​​​​​​​Wellness, hiking, biking, culinary delights: Saalfelden Leogang offers all of this in its Secret Season - the golden autumn.

Peace slowly returns to the valley. The morning mist clears the closer you get to the summit, revealing a breathtaking mountain panorama. In autumn, the Saalfelden Leogang region transforms into an Eldorado for nature lovers and connoisseurs. The Leogang cable cars are open non-stop until the start of the ski season, allowing hikers to experience the colourful autumn landscape to the full. A visit to the Asitz in November is particularly rewarding: depending on the weather, you can take your first walks in the snow or enjoy the warm autumn sunshine and music at the ‘TONspur-Inseln’. The Saalfelden Leogang Card includes two uphill and downhill rides a day until the start of the ski season.

 

Bikers can look forward to the varied lines & trails in the EPIC Bikepark Leogang, which will be providing action until 3 November. If you already know when you want to shred during your autumn holiday in Saalfelden Leogang, you can secure both day and multi-day tickets in advance at a cheaper price thanks to the online bike bonus. Depending on the weather, the natural single trails away from the bike park can be ridden until late into the autumn. The extensive range of tours and the valley cycle paths can be enjoyed for a particularly long time on autumn days. Especially in November, the fresh mountain air strengthens the immune system and the unique views on a morning pleasure tour or on a relaxed (e-)bike road trip dispel any autumn fatigue. 

 

In love with the mountains through autumn 
The weekly adventure programme ‘365 Days Active & Creative’ ensures that there is no time for boredom, even in autumn. Whether it's a horse-drawn carriage ride, a guided herb hike or a romantic torch-lit walk - the experiences are varied. In the Secret Season of November, nature in the forest and on the mountain is particularly mystical and provides mountain moments that have a particularly long-lasting effect and help prevent the autumn blues. Forest bathing on the Asitz offers an inspiring opportunity to unwind: consciously perceiving the surroundings and immersing yourself in the forest with closed eyes and an alert mind is an experience for all the senses. Along the forest bathing trail, newly opened this year, there are many stations that invite you to pause for a moment.  The hermitage in Saalfelden, which can be reached in a short hike, is a unique place of power at any time of year. 

 

Indulge and relax through the Secret Season November
After an active day in the mountains, relaxation and indulgence are the order of the day: in Saalfelden Leogang, traditional Pinzgau cuisine meets fresh produce from regional agriculture and innovative award-winning cuisine. The region is one of the areas with the highest density of Gault&Millau toque-awarded restaurants.
