unken

In front of the breathtaking panorama of the Loferer Steinberge mountains with the highest point of the Ochsenhorn (2,513 m) lie the cosy villages of Lofer and Unken. Nestled in the Saalachtal, the villages became popular winter sports destinations due to the close proximity of the Loferer Alm and Unken-Heutal ski areas, with more than 58 kilometres of piste and 17 lifts! The region offers a magnificent mountain panorama as well as a diverse range of recreational activities with sports or culture. Families with children will especially love not only the gentle pistes, but also the resort's family friendliness. Cross-country trails and the network of winter hiking trails also invite you to savour the panorama. Unken - skiing in the Heutal!

Unken at an altitude of around 564 m, at the foot of the 1,961 m high Sonntagshorn. The idyllic community is especially attractive for holidaymakers who prefer to spend their holiday more quietly. The Heutal valley, in which Unken lies, is snow-sure and is the ideal winter paradise for downhill and cross-country skiiers, as well as sun worshippers. The ski area is sure not to be overcrowded, and is especially suitable for families with its easy and medium-level pistes. Off-piste, history lovers will find the Kniepass Fortress is worth seeing, which was built in the 13th century and lets you have a glimpse of the history of Unken and the Salzburger Land.
