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.

Rauris was a mining valley, with gold and silver mined from the Middle Ages, and the area was once among the richest in Europe. Mining ended in the 20th century. The observatory on the Sonnblick, built in 1886, makes the valley a centre of high-alpine research.
