Großarl
Großarl is a village in the Großarltal, a quiet side valley in Salzburg's Pongau region. It is known as the Valley of the Alpine Pastures, with many traditional huts on its slopes, and it sits at the edge of the Hohe Tauern.
The valley is green, calm and still working-farm country. It suits families, hikers and skiers who like a quieter base linked to the Ski amadé area.
