Nice setting, with good views across to the Untersberg. Decent enclousres where the animals have better than usual space to roam. Great range of wildlife, split nicely by continent, including jaguars, snow leopards, lions, cheetahs, arctic wolves and brown bears. Well setup for children with plenty of educational gizmos. Easy to reach by bus (route 25) from Salzburg centre. Free access with a Salzburg card (which of course also includes the bus fares). Easy to walk between here and neighbouring Hellbrunn. And also easy to combine with a trip to the Untersberg (the cable car for which is also included on the Salzburg card).

The Kitzsteinhorn is legendary: it`s not just a glacier – it`s THE glacier. Salzburg`s highest ski area offers an unparalleleld Alpine experience 365 days a year. It`s here that the winter season begins. Starting in autumn, you`ll already find the perfect snow for a perfect winter sports experience. Whether you`re racing down pristine white slopes or the spectacular off-piste ski routes or on your board in the snowparks, the variety of choices you`ll find is unmatched.

The Kitzsteinhorn cable car is a scenic 'must do' for anyone visiting Salzburgerland province of Austria. Located about 20 minutes from Kaprun, the cable car gives visitors an awe-inspiring trip to "Top of Salzburg at 3,029 metres" in three distinct legs - a gondola, then chairlift, finally a cable car. The views and scenery change throughout the journey, and you get to appreciate the truly amazing geography that has formed the Alps. The Gipfelwelt exhibition is located in a tunnel bored through the summit of the mountain, and it is an interesting display about the formation and geology of the Hohe Tauern mountains and glaciers. Caution here...at this altitude the air is thin and walking back up through the tunnel can suddenly leave you totally out of breath. The lifts are modern, competently operated and you feel completely safe as you're whisked up over cliffs, ravines, snowfields and people and animals passing by underneath.

The Lammerklamm Gorge is must see/do if you are an outdoors person. We had the pleasure of vacationing in Salzburg, Austria this year and made explicit plans to visit this site before we arrived. While the views and scenery are astounding be advised that the pathway (if you take the full hour pathway) is narrow along the gorge and involves lots of ups and down and so you MUST wear good gripping shoes or hiking boots - I also recommend hiking sticks if you have them as it will save your legs and back! The views up and down the gorge as you walk along are just amazing and to hear the rushing water is very soothing. We were there right when it opened so there were only a couple of other people so there was not a lot of ambient noise to drown out the sound of the water which made it even better. It was well worth the trip to visit this famous site and I highly recommend it to my fellow travelers who are visiting this region of Austria.
