Explore nature in a mindful way
The Salzburg Summit Game is a unique hiking experience – as it’s not just about climbing mountains, but listening to their messages too. Thoughts for the way and specially concepted summit rituals entice you to consciously get close to the mountains. The Salzburg Summit Game inspires you to go hiking, but also to listen in a mindful way and reflect, and is a game using your imagination which is fired by the beauty of an impressive landscape.
7 mountains in the 7 resorts - hiking recommendations of the Salzburger Sportwelt: Flachau, Wagrain-Kleinarl, St. Johann, Radstadt, Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Eben and Filzmoos.
The Salzburg Summit Game is a themed hiking experience in the Salzburger Sportwelt that takes participants on a mythical journey along seven different mountain peaks. These peaks are embedded in a story about the "Benevolent Queen and her six noblemen", which gives the hikes a narrative and playful component. Each of the seven peaks represents a 'nobleman' and offers unique hiking experiences and messages linked to the Queen and her story.
The hikes take place during the hiking season from June to October and offer a deeper connection to local culture and history alongside the sporting challenge.
