The Hohe Salve

The exceptional adventure and panoramic mountain in the Holiday Region Hohe Salve

The virtually freestanding summit of the Hohe Salve is known for its fabulous 360° views. Already at the time of the Celts, the conical mountain was regarded as a power place and holy site. Today you’ll find the highest located pilgrimage church in Austria on the summit. The restaurant with its unique revolving terrace and revolving public room serves up culinary delectations at 1,829 metres. The name “Salve”, by the way, comes from Latin and means greeting. And that’s exactly how it is, the summit of the Hohe Salve salutes from afar to the four winds.
