What We Love About Neukirchen

The quaint village of Neukirchen is located at the heart of the upper Pinzgau region close to the Salzach River in Austria’s Salzburg Province. This charming village dates back to the 10th century and is surrounded by beautiful mountains, picturesque forests and Alpine lakes. Neukirchen has a good selection of shops and restaurants for you to explore and is less than 15 minutes from Mittersill, the region’s largest town. The region features over 500km of magnificent skiing with Wildkogel, KitzSki and Skiwelt Wilder Kaiser as well as great hiking and cycling routes which makes it the perfect dual season retreat. Neukirchen is also just a 5 minute drive from Bramberg which boasts one of Europe’s only emerald mines, plus the world’s longest nighttime toboggan run where you can sled for 14km under the stars.

Neukirchen lies within the beautiful Hohe Tauern National Park which is Europe’s largest nature reserve. The upmarket, vibrant town of Kitzbühel is a 40 minute drive away as is the beautiful lake side resort of Zell am See – both a fabulous day trip for all of the family. 

The village is conveniently located only 1 hour 30 minutes from Innsbruck airport, 1 hour 45 from Salzburg airport and 2 hours 25 minutes from Munich airport. Neukirchen also has a local train with a regular service from Salzburg.

Ski Scene

In Neukirchen there are 75km of superb skiing available on your doorstep. A ski lift facilitates direct access from Neukirchen to the Wildkogel Arena, comprising of 35km of blue runs, 30km of red runs and 10km of black runs with altitudes up to 2,100m. The wide open slopes are uncrowded and the pretty snow-capped trees make for wonderfully scenic skiing between mid-December and April. There are lots of traditional Alpine huts across the mountainsides offering full table service and great hearty food, where you can relax with a cool drink before continuing to explore this pretty resort.

For an adrenaline rush why not try the longest nighttime toboggan run in the world. The famous Bramberg toboggan is over 14km long and is lit by floodlights as well as the stars. With the help of the Smaragbahn lift, you will quickly find yourself at around 2,100m above sea level where you can ski down the mountain, covering an incredible 1,300 vertical metres in 40 minutes!

Summer Fun

In summertime Neukirchen is a wonderful destination with plenty of activities on offer. For hiking enthusiasts, the high trails throughout the Kitzbuhel Alps and Hohe Tauern range are great outings for families during the warmer months. For a more relaxing trip, you can take the lift up to the mountain tops to enjoy the scenic views. 

The region is perfect for cycling as there are 800km of mountain bike trails with breathtaking views of Grossglockner – Austria’s tallest mountain. The gondola lifts are open throughout the summer months and can whisk you and your bike up to the top so you can freewheel down, stopping at the many picture perfect mountain huts to quench your thirst.
