Salt Alps Trail
A path that touches the soul and breathes the history of "White Gold": Since 2015, the Salt Alps Trail has been whispering its secrets to travelers. Over 233 kilometers, it connects the Bavarian Sea with Lake Hallstatt, leading through a panorama where rugged peaks are reflected in crystal-clear lakes.
From Prien am Chiemsee across the Chiemgau to the Berchtesgadener Land and on to Obertraun at the foot of the mighty Dachstein—the Salt Alps Trail is more than just a path. It follows the historic transport routes of salt and connects places of breathtaking beauty. Whether on foot or in the saddle of an eBike: the route gently hugs the contours of the mountains and offers moments you'll want to hold onto forever.
It is the freedom of slow travel that makes this tour so appealing. Picturesque villages invite you to shift down a gear, linger spontaneously, and breathe deeply of the fresh alpine air. Traveling by your own muscle power allows you to discover the fine nuances of nature—the scent of mountain meadows and the glint of the lakes—more intensely than on any other journey.
At the end of the journey, Hallstatt awaits, nestled like a jewel box between mountain and lake. Here, the history of salt becomes tangible—a heritage that has shaped the region for millennia and conveys a deep sense of awe and permanence to this day.
