The peaceful village of Abtenau is only 30 minutes from the centre of Salzburg and a convenient ten minutes drive off the motorway, yet it feels like another world, climbing up a winding pass into the hills, offering glimpses of the Lammertal River’s deep ravines and alpine pastures and the breathtaking panoramas of the Tennen Mountains and the high Dachstein glaciers. Recharge your body, spirit and soul in this inspirational environment.
Many cycle routes and well marked footpaths lead straight out of the village, and some of the most beautiful mountain views and huts can be reached by spectacular trails which start only a few minutes drive away.
Abtenau itself offers a choice of more challenging activities whatever the season, such as rafting, canyoning, para-gliding and hang- gliding. Winter tobogganing, snow shoe walking, ski touring on/off-piste and cross country skiing.
Staying in the village, sunbathe at the outdoor swimming pool, try the summer toboggan run, and eat out at the numerous cafes and restaurants.
The Abtenau/Dachstein-West Ski Region offers some of the best snow boarding, off-piste skiing, long distance (langlauf) skiing & ski touring opportunities available anywhere in the Alps. With 145km of perfectly prepared pistes, your ski party has only just started to warm up. Just a few minutes walk from Villa Edelweiss you can enjoy a toboggan run, where you can hire toboggans by day or by torchlight in the setting sun, and in neighbouring Russbach is a wonderful ski kindergarten with fully trained staff to keep your
youngsters active, amused & safe. 
The Salzkammergut area also has a rich cultural heritage which includes the nineteenth century town of Bad Ischl, not only the famous spa and hunting resort of Emperor Franz-Josef but the home of operetta, made famous by Franz Lehar, the Andrew Lloyd Webber of the 1900s. A month long festival of concerts is run here throughout August. Abtenau is ideally placed to access both the Salzburg and Bad Ischl music festivals, just a 35 minute drive to both.
If getting away from it is more your thing, why not take a cable- car from Abtenau up into the mountains for a day’s walking or mountain – biking.
