Bischofshofen Essentials

Bischofshofen is defined by its role as the final venue of the international Four Hills Ski Jumping Tournament at the Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze. Beyond the stadium, the landscape features the Gainfeld Waterfall and the medieval ruins of Bachsfall. High-altitude destinations include the Hochgründeck peak, home to the Heinrich-Kiener-Haus and the St. Vinzenz Peace Church. The town’s history spans from the prehistoric archaeological site at Götschenberg to the Romanesque and Gothic architecture of the St. Maximilian Parish Church.
