I booked the tour "Salzburg from Above" (Salzburg von oben) as part of a package with the hotel. Sadly, it does not show up among searches for Salzburg tours or Salzburg hiking. The tour was great and an ideal introduction to the city and its surroundings while also escaping the masses of people in the city center. We walked from near Mirabell garden up and along the tops of the hills surrounding the city and ended up at the famous cafes that claim to have invented Mozartkugeln. Lots of stunning views of the city center and the panorama. The tour guide was very friendly and enthusiastic about the city and the mountains. She gave just the right amount of information. She even did the full tour although I was by myself. The hike was not strenuous, and there were plenty of shady spots and breaks to enjoy the views. I can only recommend her.
She also offers other tours in the area including especially for pregnant women and snowshoeing. read more
