Ski holidays Unken - skiing in the Heutal!

Unken

Unken lies at an altitude of around 564 metres and is also known as the "Gateway to Pinzgau". This idyllic community is particularly appealing to those who prefer a quieter holiday. The Heutal valley, in which Unken is located, has reliable snow conditions and is an ideal winter paradise for skiers, cross-country skiers and sun worshippers alike. With its easy and moderately difficult slopes, this cosy ski resort is particularly suitable for families. Away from the slopes, history lovers will want to visit Kniepass Fortress, which was built in the 13th century and offers an insight into the history of Unken and the Salzburg region. Numerous activities such as cross-country skiing, winter hiking and tobogganing guarantee that there is no chance of boredom. Or relax on a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride through the impressive winter landscape and then enjoy your evening in one of the cosy huts with original Pinzgau specialities. Whatever you decide, a varied winter holiday is guaranteed in Unken.

Salzburger Saalach Valley

In front of the breathtaking panorama of the Loferer Steinberge mountains with the highest point of the Ochsenhorn (2,511 m) lie the cosy villages of Lofer and Unken. Nestled in the Saalachtal, the villages became popular winter sports destinations due to the close proximity of the Loferer Alm and Unken-Heutal ski areas. The region offers a magnificent mountain panorama as well as a diverse range of recreational activities with sports or culture. Families with children will especially love not only the gentle pistes, but also the resort's family friendliness. Cross-country trails and the network of winter hiking trails also invite you to savour the panorama.
