Discover Stuhlfelden

Stuhlfelden combines impressive mountain scenery with a wide range of experiences in the village and surrounding area. The municipality lies between the Hohe Tauern and the Kitzbühel Alps, at the foot of the 2,363 m-high Gaisstein. It is considered the highest peak of the Pinzgau Grass Mountains. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home for a varied vacation can tailor their travel plans to different interests here: mountain views, culture, water activities, first skiing experiences or active days outdoors.

Mountain scenery and destinations for different hiking preferences

Gaisstein defines the landscape around Stuhlfelden. For less experienced hikers, the listed forest chapel is a destination in its own right and offers views over Stuhlfelden. This makes it possible to combine an excursion with a specific viewpoint without focusing travel plans exclusively on challenging summits. Those with a stronger interest in local history will find another notable destination in Lichtenau Castle.

Lichtenau Castle is a listed castle located a few meters east of the pilgrimage church of Maria Himmelfahrt. It was built by the Rosenberg brothers between 1503 and 1506 and is also used for cultural purposes. The combination of historic building fabric and cultural use makes the castle an interesting point of reference for travelers who want to learn about the history of the village in addition to exploring the mountain scenery.

Water activities, winter sports and archery

The heated Stuhlfelden adventure pool is an outdoor swimming pool. It has a 200 m² swimming pool and a 300 m² leisure pool. Those who want to plan a day of swimming during their vacation will find a clearly described option for exercise and water-based activities here. This focus can be combined with a sightseeing visit, a walk or another excursion to suit different daily routines.

Stuhlfelden also has its own winter offering: the Platzhausleitn ski arena is located in the center of Stuhlfelden. It has snowmaking facilities and a small lift for first skiing experiences. This is particularly appealing to travelers who do not want to base their stay exclusively around large ski areas, but are looking for an introduction to winter sports.

Stuhlfelden also has a free practice area for archery that can be used at any time. In addition, there are two different archery courses, each with 28 targets. The Scheibelberg archery course, with 28 targets, is located on the shaded side of the Salzach Valley in the municipality of Stuhlfelden and is open from April to October. Those who want to structure their stay around an active outdoor pursuit can choose between the practice area and the courses.
