Excellent and easy trip from Salzburg, No. 25 bus every 20 minutes takes you right to the cable car. It was 31 degrees in Salzburg and 14 degrees up the mountain. Take good shoes for the short walks at the top. Terrific views

We saw the Hohensalzburg Castle (Salzburg Fortress) in the morning, when it was cooler, then took city bus #25 to Untersberg. Buy a Salzburg card and it will allow you admittance to the cablecar up to the fortress, the fortress, city buses, the cable car to Untersberg and also admittance to Hellenbrun. All of these are well worth seeing and... More

Maria in The Sound of Music referred to the Untersberg as "her mountain!". Whether it was said in real-life or just a movie line, we could understand why. A ride up with the Untersberg cableway is an amazing experience, especially now when there was still a lot of thick snow around at the top. There was even time for a... More

Also a café and a restaurant. If you buy a Salzburg Card which enables you to ride the buses free and visit other attractions free... More

The day we went the mountain was socked in with fog yet amazingly after we enjoyed a nice lunch of wienerschnitzel at the top of the mountain the clouds parted and we got a nice view. If your going to walk around or enjoy one of two,restaurants at the top you need to allow for about 3 hours round trip.... More
