An Active Holiday in Each of Mittersill’s Beautiful Seasons

In the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park

Mittersill lives up to its name as the ‘national park capital’ in the district Pinzgau.This is not only because it is at the centre of Hohe Tauern National Park, but also because it is the seat of the national park administration as well as the NationalparkWelten (“NationalparkWorlds”)--the largest and most modern national park exhibition center. This small town in the heart of the Tauern mountains holds many more treasures for a truly special holiday: sporting highlights, traditional and culturally significant celebrations, diverse shopping experiences, as well as the incomparable, intact

nature of the National Park! However, you will also find the internationally renowned city Kitzbühel, the Zell am See-Kaprun region, the historic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck, as well as the Kitzbüheler Alpen region, in close proximity to the romantic 4-star superior castle hotel. Other world-famous attractions in the castle environment are the Grossglockner High Alpine Road, Krimmler Waterfalls, Swarovski Kristallwelten (“Crystal Worlds”), and the Kaprun-Kitzsteinhorn glacier, with its high mountain reservoirs.

Winter

Glittering snow crystals amidst a majestically snowy, mountain landscape. Snow-covered forests, sparkling sunlight, crystal-clear air--this is the Schloss Mittersill’s winter wonderland in the district Pinzgau. It is the quietest and most romantic time of the year, with its characteristic frost flowers on the window, freezing temperatures, stories and long conversations by candlelight, and romantic nights by a cozy fireplace. Leave your footprints in the pristine mountain landscapes and hike through magical winter forests. Schloss Mittersill is located in a winter landscape that is second to none.
