OUT OF A PICTURE BOOK
Spa town Bad Ischl as the heart of the Salzkammergut with its “Darling”, Mount Katrin, has been
a place of recreation since the imperial period. While the city with its cultural diversity and the historic buildings and places leaves nothing to be desired, Bad Ischl’s Darling provides a unique nature experience. The impressive mountain scenery and the almost infinite expanse have
always brought people to marvel.

The panoramic view includes Mount Dachstein, Mount Loser, Mount Schafberg, the mountain chains of Gosaukamm, Totes Gebirge and Höllengebirge as well as many other wonderful. 
Since 1959, Katrin cable car has brought a range of visitors to the summit. Enjoy a charming
15-minute drive to more than 1,400 m above sea level with spectacular views! 

7 LAKES VIEW
Enjoy fabulous views: to the south the magnificent Lake Hallstättersee, to the west the majestic Lake Wolfgangsee, and further beyond, perched higher up, Lake Fuschlsee. Lake Nussensee with its emerald color, the mystical Lake Schwarzensee and to north-east Lake Traunsee are also to see. At perfect weather conditions you can see the Bavarian Lake Tachingersee in the far distance.

NUMEROUS PANORAMA ROUTES
The network of the circular walk extends from lovely Feuer- and Rosenkögerl westwards
to the imperial Katrin summit and further to the beautiful Elferkogel, followed by the romantic
Hainzen and the mighty Rosskopf - always accompanied by the impressive mountain scenery
of the Salzkammergut that will inspire you.

MULTI-GENERATION VIA FERRATA
Apart from fun and action for those who want to be active, the promising fixed rope route (suitable
for families) offers a fabulous view of the most beautiful lakes of the Salzkammergut region. As highlight, the ascent ends at the majestic cross on the summit of Mount Katrin.

THE CULINARY SUMMIT - KATRIN INN
On approximately 1,400 m above sea level, the „summit kitchen“ creates typical and seasonal
cuisine, characterized by premium quality. Only fresh ingredients - as far as possible from
the region - are used for this.

Pure relaxation

lunch menu and tempting pastries with traditional coffee specialties during a breathtaking
