The Pinzgau region in the province of Salzburg is known far beyond its borders as the “most contrasting region in the Alps”. Here, scenic beauty meets unique mountain and water sports opportunities and interesting art and cultural institutions meet enjoyable fresh air experiences on the mountain peaks and in the valley. The picturesque Saalfelden Basin lies at the foot of the Steinernes Meer. The craggy peaks gained world fame due to their unique beauty and the enclosed fossils from long ago. In the immediate vicinity, in addition to the picturesque Maria Alm, which is popular with hikers, there is Leogang, which is well-known among bikers, Saalbach as the “Home of Lässig” and, last but not least, the nationally and internationally popular Zell am See. The region around the Privatklinik Ritzensee is considered a true natural jewel – in summer it combines crystal-clear lakes, rugged mountain peaks, gentle hills, beautiful alpine meadows and rustic alpine huts with a picture-book idyll. In winter, the region is known as a centre for winter sports such as cross-country skiing and offers the best conditions for ice skating, winter hiking and tobogganing.
