Viehhofen

Viehhofen is a small village in the Austrian state of Salzburg, located in the Saalfelden-Leogang region at the foot of the Steinernes Meer and Leoganger Steinberge mountain ranges. Surrounded by alpine meadows and forests, this mountain village offers a peaceful setting typical of the Pinzgau area, away from the bustle of larger tourist resorts. In winter, its proximity to the Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn ski area, one of the largest in Austria, makes it an appealing base for skiing and snowboarding, while offering a quieter alternative to the busier resort centres nearby. In summer, the region is well suited to hiking and mountain biking, with the karst landscapes of the Steinernes Meer providing scenic views of the surrounding peaks. The alpine climate brings snowy winters and mild summers, ideal for year-round outdoor pursuits. Traditional timber architecture, along with chalets and farmhouses characteristic of the Pinzgau, define the local built environment. Viehhofen is particularly suited to those seeking a tranquil mountain stay, with easy access to the tourist infrastructure of Saalfelden and the surrounding valley.
