With 200 different stations, 30 zip lines at heights of 3 to 40 meters and a total length of 8 kilometers, the high rope park in Saalbach Hinterglemm is the largest in Europe.

Current notice

Due to the official requirements – based on the available space – a maximum of 350 people are currently allowed to stay in the Käpt’n Hook outdoor pool at the same time. A family living in the same household counts as one person. It can therefore unfortunately happen that guests have to be turned away at the entrance.

After the first attempts at driving on the circuit, you gradually feel your way towards the Learn to Ride trails “Little Pro-Line”, “Little Monti”, “Little Panorama” and the “Drop Area” on the first big trails. These trails called “Der Monti” and “Der Panorama Trail” start at the Kohlmais middle or mountain station.

The Learn to Ride Park is equally suitable for large and small beginners and can be used free of charge daily until October 17th.

The 2 km long, natural circular route begins at the head of the valley – the car park and leads through alpine pastures, forests and meadows. The one kilometer treetop path starts with the 200 m long “Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps”.

In summer, the 2 km long way there and back can also be covered with the valley head train. In winter, the path can be covered on foot or by horse-drawn sleigh through a wonderful landscape.

Part of the Baumzipfelweg is the up to 42 m high Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps, which spans the valley head at the source of the Saalach. Along the side and under the bridge, the high rope park courses lead with a panoramic view of the breathtaking surrounding mountain scenery. With its 600 meters made of solid larch wood, the long treetop path forms up to 30 meters above the forest floor – with stairs, towers, bridges and platforms the promising center of the treetop path.

With great play stations on the topics of nature, knowledge and skill, the path in the middle of the treetops awaits young and old explorers. The Baumzipfelweg is part of the Kids Wander Challenge .

The Glemmtaler Baumzipfelweg offers a great destination for youth groups, clubs, companies, school classes, senior citizens, families and nature lovers.

Attentive observers occasionally discover a shy deer, see a curious marmot by the wayside or catch a glimpse of an excited squirrel before it disappears again into the forest canopy.

But the Pinzgau grass mountains are also a habitat for a diverse fauna far away from the hiking trails. Together with Lilo and Ossi you can discover which animals are at home in the Glemmtal on the Wildlife Trail, how they live and look and learn funny details about the animal inhabitants.

Only the lucky ones can tell of an encounter with the masters in hide and seek such as foxes, chamois, golden eagles, deer & Co. But you will certainly come across a devout golden eagle, a playful chamois, an interested marmot, a cunning fox or a sublime stag while exploring this educational trail. Because the life-size wooden figures can even be stroked.

The majestic alpine ibex – the “King of the Alps” – is the absolute highlight and waits for a visit in full life size and corporeality at the end of the path in the large ibex – gate. With a lot of luck you can watch the animals in their natural habitat with a look through the large binoculars at the Ossmannalm.

At the beginning of the Wildlife Trails you will find the folder with the Wildlife Quiz. Grab this and a pen, solve the riddle and pick up the medal at the Ossmannalm. (On the day of rest at the tourist office in Saalbach).

The WILDLIFE Trail is open daily. Admission is free.
