The summit of Hohe Salve mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps offers perhaps the most stunning views anywhere in Tirol. Apart from jaw-dropping views, Austria’s highest-lying pilgrimage church and a revolving observation deck await you at the top.
The easiest way to access the mountain is by riding the gondola to the top. The gondola will sweep you from Hopfgarten to the top of 1,829-metre Hohe Salve mountain in only a few minutes. The view at the top is quite simply breathtaking. Check out the Hohe Salve restaurant with its revolving observation deck, from where you can enjoy 360-degree views of over 70 metres above 3,000 metres in elevation. On a clear day you can see as far as the Wilder Kaiser Mountains, the Inn Valley, the Zillertal Alps and even the Hohe Tauern Mountains with the glorious Großglockner, Austria’s tallest peak. The restaurant features hearty local food, while children will have the time of their lives at the playground. Just a stone's throw from the restaurant is the 400-year-old Salvenkirchlein chapel, the highest-lying church of pilgrimage in Austria. Don't forget to check out the Sundial Trail with 15 sundials and information boards teaching visitors about sun, wind and weather. There is also an easy hiking trail around the summit of the mountain.
