Schafberg Mountain, Salzkammergut Mountains Range, Salzburg, Austria

Schafberg Mountain (1,783 m) is in the Austrian state of Salzburg. Situated within the Salzkammergut Mountains range of the Northern Limestone Alps, the Schafberg rises at the shore of Wolfgangsee Lake.

During the summer, the Schafbergbahn, a rack railway that opened in 1893, runs from the small town of St. Wolfgang im Salzkammergut on the shores of the Wolfgangsee to the summit. The peak offers a panoramic view of the Salzkammergut mountains and its lakes and is also the site of a hotel called Schafbergspitze, established in 1862.

Get to the top of the Schafberg mountain on your Austria travel to find one of the most stunning panoramic views in the Salzkammergut region. On clear, sunny days, where you can see for miles in the distance, the summit gives you unparalleled views of shimmering lakes and the foothills of the Alps. 

Hotels available at Schafberg also offers the Berghotel Restaurant, a popular meeting-point for hikers, walkers, and travel groups to enjoy a meal with a view. You can eat indoors or on the sun terrace. This is Europe travel at its prettiest.
