TOP TEN Things To Do In Hallstatt, Austria - Best Must See Attractions

[@ourheartshaven]

Thank you so very much for this video! You released it just in time for me to plan our three days there next month. I have at least one question for now: I have looked for a way to purchase tickets for the ice cave........and I cannot see any way to do that online ahead of time........and I noticed there are three ice caves! Are the tickets to tour just one or all? And if just one, which one do you recommend? And if these questions are too specific to be answered........that's okay! Thanks!!

[@Bigboytravel]

There is only one ice cave in Hallstatt and your ticket for the cable care lift includes your tour. We have a guide on visiting it here which we will be updating in May but the information is still pretty good. www.bigboytravel.com/europe/austria/hallstatt/icecaves/ We will have a video coming soon also about the Hallstatt ice cave but it may publish after your visit. Another one we love to visit from Salzburg is the Ice Cave in Werfen which is the world's largest, however since you are already going to Hallstatt then do the cave and 5 fingers. If you choose yo also go to werfen then I'd recommend the castle with the bird show

Hope you can give guides on Slazburg, Salzkammergut, Munich and Berchtesgaden. I know you have videos on these places but if you can create new videos , that would be great. Thanks Bee2Fast.

We have a lot of travel through August but are planning on doing a lot more videos on those places for sure along with more on Werfen, Berchtesgaden, and Rothenburg. Another Hallstatt video will hopefully be done this month covering the Ice Cave and 5 Fingers

[@bee2fast]

@@Bigboytravel Thanks. Your videos are really helpful plus your website. How much time do I need to explore the 5 Fingers, Skywalk Lookout +Rudolp's Tower and Hallstatt town if I allocate the whole day in Hallstatt from Salzburg via bus. How long does it take to hike down from Skywalk to Hallstatt old town?

[@Bigboytravel]

You definitely want to take the first bus out of Salzburg for they day and avoid Sundays when it starts later. You can ride right through town at thr end and all the way up to thr Ice Cave visitors center. From there you take the cable car up for your ice cave tour followed by a ride up to level 2 for the 5 fingers. This plus riding back down will take 3.5-4 hours and you'll get back to town around 1-130pm or so to town by bus to the Lahn bus stop and very close to the funicular lift to go up to the skywalk and tower. You can buy a lift only one-way ticket without the salt mine tour in person at the salt mine visitors center as online is only the round-trip combo ticket. Assuming you are stopping to eat it'll probably be around 3pm when you finish and the hike down the panorama trail is around 30-40 minutes. You'll then have around 2 hours to explore town before the last bus leave from the Lahn bus stop. It may even make more sense the return by train and take the last ferry over the lake to the train station since it leaves around the same time as thr last bus but is both closer to the heart of town and also allows you to see the village from the water since you won't have time to do a boat rental. Double check the schedules for your dates at thr Oebb website and see out guide on how to get to hallstatt.

Such a wonderful video ♥️ I planned to be in Hallstatt for 3 days. One day for hiking, boat riding and strolling around Hallstatt village and Obertraun.

Good idea to start planning early! I'll have a few more Hallstatt and Salzburg area videos out this year for sure. The crowds will be lower but the weather is usually quite pleasant One thing to keep in mind if you are in the region then is that Munich has its Spring Festivals on the weeks at the turn of April/May which is basically their mini Oktoberfest and very fun.

Just discovered your videos and this one is fabulous! Excited to watch all the others for places in my itinerary. Was planning to take train from Salzburg and ferry to Hallstatt. Would this take much longer than the bus?

[@Bigboytravel]

Yes it takes around 2 hours 15 minutes by bus or 2 hours 30 minutes by train + ferry. The ferry is a stunning way to see the village for the first time, but the bus is more practical because you get dropped of by the salt mine visitor center and can also ride straight through to the ice cave/5fingers to start your day. We love to stay overnight but on a day trip love to bus in and ferry/train out to still get the water view

@finding salas thanks for the kind words and for watching! I swear no wizardry was used on the crowds! Rain has helped a few times but after a few visits feel that I've found ways to minimize my exposure to the day tripping tour groups. Sharing some tips beyond staying overnight (most important) will be a good video share at some point 😀 One of the keys is to visit in the golden turn of late-October into November for peak colors and zero crowds, but even in peak summer it can be navigated.

Molto bello

[@Bigboytravel]

grazie mille!!

[@natalieasheri]

Thanks for the video. I will love to visit Hallstatt and do the tours but dunno if these places are kids friendly

[@Bigboytravel]

I'd say that Hallstatt overall is kid friendly. If your kids and 6-7 year old or older they can do everything. Technically you can do the sale mine tour at 4 years old but 6 or 7 would be better. The 5 figures would be a challenge with a stroller unless if would hand a gravel trail (hard packed) but kids love to hike to the shark and other features up there even if they are too young for the ice cave. the lift and skywalk near the salt mine are good with a stroller. The Bathing island is fun with kids and has a small playground nearby. The boat rentals are fun also. We used a backpack carrier for our toddler last summer in addition to a stroller and switched between them

[@natalieasheri]

@@Bigboytravel thank you for taking your time to reply. I appreciate it 🙏🏾

[@ethansmith6926]

This place looks absolutely gorgeous. Would you recommend just a day trip here or a two day, one night stay? I am planning on staying in the Salzburg area for four days total in July and wanted to hit this place as well as Werfen not too far away if possible before leaving to Venice. Thanks!

[@Bigboytravel]

@ethansmith6926 great question! Normally I would say 100% do an overnight with 2 full days, but you'll want to float it I'm a way yo also fit in Werfen. I assume Salzburg, but where else are you staying before Hallstatt and for how many nights? Possibly Vienna? Later this month we are staying in Hallstatt on the way from Vienna, leaving early to get to Hallstatt before the crowds, dropping my bags at the hotel to get some sights done and checking in to relax while the village is busier (possible boat rental after lunch booked in the monring), then more activities in the afternoon as the groups leave and have the village to myself all evening plus all the next morning continuing to Salzburg eventually on date two with no set schedule. That can be a great way to have from 20-40 hours hours to play with and you'll feel amazing after instead of annoyed. Try to do this on a weekday. Werfen is great as a day trip from Salzburg and has a more impressive ice cave. Possible to do it and then the castle in one day if you leave early and bonus points if you make the bird show. We've done the castle paired with the sound of Music meadow also but if you are super hard core you can fit in all 3 however that is stretching it quite a bit.

What an amazing and informative video!! One question…I couldn’t understand the name of the trail and valley you mentioned at marker 18:43. It’s the one that goes by all the streams and waterfalls. Could you please tell me the name?

[@Bigboytravel]

Hey Michell, thanks for watching. The valley is the Echerntal with the formal trail called the Echerntalweg. It is a valley the back from lake near the Lahn Bus Stop. The base of the lift up to the salt mine is at start of the valley. If you look at the interactive maps on the guides on our website for both the Salt Mine and the Free Walking Tour, the valley and rough trail are marked.

Would you recommend visiting the village in winter, particularly January? I am visiting Vienna and considering spending 1-2 days here

[@Bigboytravel]

sorry for the delay, I was traveling for most of the last month. Yes January is a really great time to visit Hallstatt! The crowds are low, but it is so beautiful. The ice cave is closed but Krippenstein is a very popular place to skiers. In the village the rental boats are closed but the ferry still runs. The Salt Mine is closed the 2nd half of January however the lift up to the Sky Walk is open every day. Stay overnight if you can, it is very peacful

[@andrerupp3499]

First of all , thank you for this great work. We will be visiting Hallstatt mid september for 3 days. 1 question about the boat rental. You recommend the boat rental station in the north. Where is it excactly located on your beautiful interactive ( like it so much ) map.

[@Bigboytravel]

We usually rent from the Bootsverleih stand about halfway between the the Main Sqaure and Hallstatt Lahn. It is roughly at Seestraße 130 but you can't miss in on the Southside of the huge view terrace. It's just under 30 euros for an hour. There is also the Bootsverleih Hemetsberger closer to the Hallstatt Museum however we haven't used them yet due to their poor online rating

[@andrerupp3499]

@@Bigboytravel Thank you so much, this will do.

[@andreamly]

Hi. Will be traveling this month to Hallstatt. Seems that the cable to ice caves also goes to five fingers? and the cable to salt mines also goes to the sky walk? I'd love to do the skywalk AND five fingers, but no need for the salt mines and ice caves. Is this possible? (in one day!) thanks

[@Bigboytravel]

@andreamly yes it is 100% doable if you are skilling the ice cave and salt mine tours. Head right to thr 5 Fingers first (2nd level of the cable car). Then once in the village you can Can buy a funicular only ticket at the salt mine visitors center withoutbhaving to do the full ticket with the salt mine tour. This is close to the Lahn bus stop and you can do round trip or just one way if you want to hike down.

[@andreamly]

@@Bigboytravel thanks for quick response. Do you think it’s a good decision to skip the ice and salt ? Youngest kid is 17, thanks 🙏 just want to really enjoy the outdoor Can we hike up to skywalk ?

[@tapanmondal5359]

We intend to visit the ice cave on 16th October, 2024. But while trying to purchase the ticket for ice cave and 5 fingers, and while we press the detailed button, it is only showing fare of gondola upto 3 stations, i. e. Tickets for Ice Cave is not showing. What to do?

[@Bigboytravel]

It is called the "Dachstein All in One-Ticket" which covers all 3 levels plus the ice cave tour. Although it is set to go until November 3rd this year there has been over 12 inches (30cm) of snow so the cave has been closed for a few days. I would expect tickets you need to reopen early this next week. We will be there in a few days again and it is set to be 70F (20C) and reopen

[@UchitKardani]

Good work dude. Can you simply gide me and others who are watching. If i am planning to visit Hallstatt from salzburg (1 day trip) which places i can cover. (1) Village tour for sure (2) salt mine and sky walk (3) Five fingers and ice caves. Is it possible to cover all these things in one day trip. Thank you

[@Bigboytravel]

Here is my guide on our suggested itineraries for Hallstatt which we will be updating more soon. Basically you can do all if you take the 1st bus from slazburg and go right through to the ice cave (avoid Sundays as the bus starts later) which will get you there by 915am. After the ice cave go up to the 5 fingers and bus back down to the village after and you'll arrive at the bus stop near the salt mine visitor center around 1pm or so. You can pre-book the 2pm tour as long as you assend by 130pm otherwise pre-book slightly later. That mine tour and skywalk will take 3 hours round trip. That then only gives you 1-2 hours to walk around town before the last bus and train (via ferry) both leave for Salzburg again around 6pm. So it is doable and we've done it but i quite rushed so an overnight is ideal to do it all and have time to eat, fully explore, or rent boat. There is also an ice cave in werfen and other sale mines in the region www.bigboytravel.com/europe/austria/hallstatt/suggested-itineraries/

Hey Cecilia, if you are only visiting the heart of town the parking lot is P2 and in the Lahn neighborhood just south of the bus stop and salt mine visitors center. If you are also doing the ice cave or 5 fingers there is a parking lot right at the Dachstein Visitors center as well but you won't want to walk between the two

[@Andresescamilla97]

I'm going at the end of october, do you think I will see snow just the way it shows in this video?

[@namenlos40]

End of october is probably a few weeks too early for snow.

[@Bigboytravel]

October will definitely be way too early to see snow in the village at lake level. It is about 50/50 that you'll have snow up on the second level of Dachstein Cable car by the 5 Fingers (Krippenstein) in late October. Have had it be snowy for us in September some years but others there is nothing until December so it's really hard to say. They have a web cam you can checkout the day before you get but either way riding up to each at the Krippenstein Lodge and see the 5 Fingers will be great. Ice cave will be closed for the season

[@harryching8518]

Hi, i am planning a day trip form salzburg. will i be able to do the salt mine and ice cave in a day? if can't than which I should i drop? please advise, Thanks ahead

[@Bigboytravel]

We have done both in one day, but it is extremely difficult. You have to get to the lift for the ice cave when it opens at 9am, meaning you have to leave Salzburg early. If you are very fit you can also get to the 5 Fingers and back down to the Salt Mine to tour it in the early after with a little time to briefly walk the town before returning to Salzburg. This will be a little rushed and you will likely have to book your Salt Mine tour ahead of time in the busy season which creates pressure to stay on schedule. Ideally you stay overnight and do both but for most single day visits we suggest the Salt Mine with Sky Walk plus plenty of time to explore old town or rent a boat. Keep in mind that if you choose the Ice Cave and 5 fingers instead, you can easily still visit the Sky Walk and can do the Salt Mine tour in Hallein in a half day from Salzburg another day. Alternatively, if you do the salt mine in hallstatt but skip the ice cave, you can visit the world's largest ice cave in Werfen on a different half day trip from Salzburg which pairs well with the Werfen Castle or Sound of Music Meadow. May not be the best answer, but just find a way to work in at least one ice cave and one salt mine even if only one happens while in Hallstatt and the other is in a nearby village a different day fyi, the Ice Cave in Hallstatt is currently closed for the season until late spring and the salt mine is closed until Feb 11th.

Are dogs (on leash) allowed into the sightseeings? Thank you

[@Bigboytravel]

For the most part, yes. When in a lift or cable car your dog will have to be muzzeled and leased. Can't bring them on the salt mine tour but I believe the still have some kennel space available for free for guest during the tour. Can't do the ice cave tour either but if you go to level two of the cable car, the hiking and 5 fingers are dog friendly. One of the best dog hikes is the Löckenmoos Circular Trail in nearby Gosau. The Echern Valley by the salt mine lift is also great and you can go up the lift to the skywalk or hike down with a dog.

How's the weather in Nov ? Is it using funicular, if we wanna go up for sightseeing ?

[@Bigboytravel]

In early November the weather is usually perfect (a little cool) and the fall colors are great. At the end of November it will likely be colder but still more of a chance of cold rain than snow. So yes the funicular and village are still wonderful but bring layers and an umbrella. The salt mine is the same temp all year (and dry) so it makes for a great activity especially if you are already going up the funicular. November really popular for hiking and the village/valley should be snow free.

How much is the funicular ?

[@Bigboytravel]

It is in our guide and on their website 😀 the price when you book online includes the salt mine tour. If you want the lift without the tour it is 50% less round trip but it must be booked in person when you get there. One way tickets are also available as many people ride up and hike down

Yes some bus or drive in from Gosau, obertraun, and bad ischl, but others are from Hallstatt and are now raising their families there. I know some of them and will be back there in a month again. It's fine if you feel it was overrated in your opinion but to say none of the businesses are owned by Ausutrians is not correct. Are there other places in Austria that you would recommend where you had good experiences?

Went yesterday. Most overrated place in Austria. Thousands can of tourists walking around, overcrowded and limited parking and really, not much to see as pictures are taken of the place, not in it. What a hype.

Did you not do the salt mine, or boat rental, or bone chapel, or lakeside dining? We were just there again on a Saturday a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't very crowded so I'm surprised that it was "thousands of people and over crowded" on a monday/Tuesday for you. Parking is always an issue as the village is tiny and didn't even have a proper road to it until just 60 years ago. Our guides have always recommended the bus or train/ferry. It is also peak autumn colors so hiking or sitting around relaxing at the view is usually very enjoyable for most people. Just curious on if it was so horrible for you that you are back watching Hallsatt videos still after your return?

Apparently the best thing is to stay away…

Why is that?

expensive as hell

[@Bigboytravel]

What did you find expensive about Hallstatt exactly? You can get there from Salzburg for 15 euros and can walk around to see most things for free including hiking up to the Skywalk. I've found the food costs to be similar to the region but could understand if someone doesn't like the cost of the cable car for the ice cave or the cost of the salt mi e tour.

It’s less expensive than a regular Sheraton hotel stay I had in Rhode Island the same year…

Such a wonderful video ♥️ I planned to be in Hallstatt for 3 days. One day for hiking, boat riding and strolling around Hallstatt village and Obertraun. Can you guide me on these followings- Is Skywalk and Five Fingers doable in same day? And if a day trip from Hallstatt to Munich? Your assistant will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
