Rauris
Rauris is a mountain village in the Rauris valley, a side valley of the Salzach in the Hohe Tauern National Park, in Salzburg province. The valley has a long mining history, and the village is the gateway to Kolm-Saigurn, an old mining settlement at the head of the valley, below the Sonnblick.
Rauris is quiet and authentic. It suits hikers, ski tourers and anyone who wants high-mountain scenery without a big resort.
