Description

Step into the fascinating world of Austria’s ancient salt mines on this guided adventure from Salzburg. Begin your morning at Mirabellplatz, where you’ll meet your group before boarding a comfortable shuttle bound for the historic Hallein salt mines, just outside the city.

Upon arrival, your bilingual guide will greet you and lead you directly to the mine entrance. Dressed in a traditional white miner’s suit, you’ll explore tunnels carved 2,600 years ago, glide on the original mine train, and experience the thrill of wooden miner slides used for centuries.

The tour continues as you float across a serene underground salt lake, surrounded by the echoes of history. Throughout your journey, your guide will share captivating stories about the "white gold" that shaped Salzburg’s fortunes and influenced empires across Europe.

After your underground exploration, there’s time to browse the Salzwelten gift shop for unique salt-inspired souvenirs. The shuttle returns you to Salzburg by early afternoon, leaving you with unforgettable memories of this immersive, family-friendly experience.

This 3.5-hour tour is available in English and German, with audio guides in multiple languages for international visitors. Protective clothing is provided, but remember to dress warmly for the cool underground climate. Secure your spot now and discover the secrets beneath Salzburg!

Good to know

No admission for children under the age of 4! Due to the year-round low temperatures of 7 to 10° Celsius (45° to 50° Fahrenheit) and the sometimes uneven ground, warm clothing and sturdy shoes are recommended! We will provide you with protective clothing on site. Upon arrival at the salt mines, you will be greeted directly by a guide who will lead you to the entrance. Please do not leave any personal belongings on the bus, as the return transportation may take place in a different bus.
