On a beautiful day, take the 25 bus which takes you straight there and using your 'Salzburg Card' makes it so easy. If you have time to go hiking - do it! The cable car ride is spectacular and if you need refreshments there's plenty at the top. Cable car rise bottom to top is 1320m.

A great way to view the beautiful scenery around Salzburg. Take the number 25 bus from the train station or many other stops in central Salzburg to the very last stop. If you purchase the Salzburg card it will pay for your transport and the entrance and entrance to helbrunn palace if you stop there on the way back to... More

Untersberg is famous of its Untersbergbahn - cable car to the mountain. Top deck is an excellent observation point for Salzburg valley and surrounding Alps' mountains. Be aware of clouds often covering the upper cable car station. It is also nice to travel to clouds, but there is unfortunately) no view in this case. Tip: if you spend 5 minutes... More

A short bus ride from Salzburg, beyond Hellbrunn and the zoo, you will find yourself at the station for the cable car up the Untersberg. We had the good day called for and started our climb up the cliff. Staff at the station and on board the car are friendly and helpful. As we passed the first ridge we began... More

Up at the top of Untersberg you feel you just can't take enough photographs of snowcapped mountaintops. It's breathtaking! And the Alpendohlen (black birds with very yellow beaks) will mesmerise you with their wind-gliding. If it's your first time at a mountain top, don't worry, there are safe paths for "ordinary" tourists, you don't have to be a regular hiker.... More

We went on a very cloudy day, so no views at all, however as we had the Salzburg cards it was free. Good to get in the snow at the top and gave a drink on the safe. Easy to get the no 25 bus to/ from the city centre. After we visited here we joked on the bus and... More

take bus 25 to the last stop, to the cable car at Untersberg. you can do it all as part of the Salzburg card. The trip up the mountain is great and the views even on a cloudy day are spectacular.

We went there on a cloudy foggy day. Not expecting much. However, when we were on the top. The view is absolutely gorgeous! We walk along the mountain walkway for a bit. Highly recommend for those who purchase the Salzburg card from the train station!
