And after an active day in Salzburger Land, you will be able to relax completely in your fully equipped “holiday home”.

Whether you walk barefoot through the forest and breathe in the cool forest air, treat your feet to icy-cold refreshment in a mountain lake or prefer to explore the mountains with the help of the lifts: Your hiking holiday will have long-lasting benefits, as you will quickly find out for yourself…
How apropos: You can set out on the pram-friendly, 4 km-long “Sun Theme Path” directly from the Carpe Solem. 9 info boards share fascinating insights with you about the solar system. Though that is only one of numerous intriguing theme paths in Lungau: including the “Pathway of the Senses”, “Power of Silent Waters”, the “Moor Path” on Prebersee and even a “Bee Path”. Mariapfarr also boasts Austria’s biggest network of Nordic-walking paths: 15 routes and 120 kilometers of clearly marked trails are waiting for you essentially right outside your front door!
Cycling, mountain biking & E-biking
Lungau is the highest E-biking region in Austria and a popular destination for bikers of every kind – whether laid-back cyclist or intrepid mountain biker – here in beautiful Salzburger Land. You might wish to pedal along part of the Murradweg, head to a mountain hut, or even push yourself to the limit on the “Lungau Extrem Tour”.

Pilgrimage destination, castles and palaces
In addition to magnificent nature, Salzburger Lungau is also a cultural and spiritual mecca. This includes castles and palaces that transport you back to the Middle Ages, numerous impressive (pilgrimage) churches and museums, as well as places of astonishing power that give you an opportunity to “recharge your batteries” and refocus on the essentials.
Our excursion tips
Tip 1: Pilgrimage Site Mariapfarr
A visit to the pilgrimage Church of Our Lady and the Pilgrimage and Silent Night Museum in Mariapfarr is almost obligatory during any holiday spent in Lungau. And not just because it lies directly across from Carpe Solem Mariapfarr. Mariapfarr is actually the original Lungau parish and has been one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Austria for centuries. A museum was established at the parsonage in 2002, now home to the magnificent treasures of the basilica, including a silver reliquary altar from 1443. A section of the museum is dedicated to Joseph Mohr, the man who penned the words to the world’s most famous Christmas song. He served as assistant priest in Mariapfarr from 1815 to 1817, and it was indeed here that he wrote “Silent Night!”. The melody is by Franz Xaver Gruber.
Tip 2: Preber See
Legendary Lake Prebersee lies at the foot of the 2740 m-high Preber, roughly a 20-minute drive from your apartment in Mariapfarr. In winter, you can glide along the cross-country ski trail, show off your prowess at “ice stock” or zoom down the hillsides on sleds. Things take a more tranquil and reflective turn in Advent season, when the Ludlalm invites you to join them for Mountain Christmas.
In summer, the Moor Path is a particularly rewarding destination. It is an easy 45-minute stroll and even suitable for prams. Afterwards, youngsters can let off some steam at the adventure playground next to the Ludlalm, while you sample a plate of Lungauer Rahmkoch or Kaiserschmarrn-style pancakes. If you happen to spend your holiday here with us in Mariapfarr in August, there is a special event you simply have to see: the legendary “Prebersee Shoot”. Some 200 marksmen and -women with small-caliber rifles try to hit a target set up 120 m away. What makes this challenge so unique is the fact that they aren’t allowed to shoot directly at the target, instead attempting to get the bullet to ricochet accurately of the surface of the lake!
Tip 3: Weisspriach and Longa
Lungau boasts 60 alpine tarns. And most of those are in the region of Weisspriach, approximately a 7-minute drive from the Carpe Solem. In Upper Weisspriachtal, which is reachable via a toll road or on the valley bus from the Dicktlerhütte car park, you are greeted by an incredibly beautiful hiking area. A little piece of paradise with an array of mountain huts. The crystal-clear River Longa makes a serpentine track from the 1700 m-high Wirpitschsee, dropping in stages down to the valley, and flowing amid lush alpine meadows. Austrian TV viewers actually chose Weisspriachtal and the Longa as the most beautiful place in Salzburg back in 2015. While the Longa truly is enchanting (as well as a great place to go fly fishing and swimming) - you should definitely keep your eyes peeled! On occasion, the very rare Violet Copper butterfly might well indeed flutter by.
Tip 4: Burg Mauterndorf
The fortified tower of the former summer residence of Salzburg’s prince-archbishops is 44 m tall. It treats visitors to beautiful views of Mauterndorf and the surrounding mountains. Burg Mauterndorf is approximately 7 km from Carpe Solem and a great excursion destination for everybody in your family. On the big Knights’ Playground, young lords and ladies of the castle will be able to work off their youthful energy and let their imaginations run wild, too. With your Lungau Card, admission is free for your whole family.
Tip 5: Culinary Tips
Dining opportunities aren’t in short supply in Lungau either. And it isn’t just our own Restaurant Thomal at the Carpe Solem that promises a delectable experience. Let me quickly share a few culinary tips of my own with you: the Eachtling, for example. This name refers to a very special potato variety, a potato that has brought our region quite some recognition over the years. Also rewarding: a visit to Confiserie Hochleitner in Tamsweg and Trausners Genusswerkstatt in Mauterndorf. Though they are but 2 of the 300 extraordinary gourmet addresses you can discover along the 9 culinary pathways of the Via Culinaria in Salzburger Land. But if you are still of the opinion that homemade always tastes best, we suggest booking one of the popular bread baking courses with blogger Christina Bauer in Göriach.

Feedback of our guests
We always have the best experience at Carpe Solem, we couldn't be more pleased. We have been here three times already and we have always had a luxurious, spacious and clean room. The staff of this resort deserves ten stars. They are always nice, accommodating and willing to help. They helped us when we needed to go to the hospital and were helpful even when our car broke down. Parking in the underground garage is a big advantage. We also enjoyed the wellness. We have already booked a stay for the summer.
The apartment was very comfortable, with well equipped kitchen, rooms with view towards the mountains, clean and confy beds and bathrooms. Nice eating area and free access to the beautiful spa.
Top experience! Nice apartments with everything that you need. Clean, modern and equipped with everything. There is also an welcome kit with sponge, dishwasher tablets, brush... No one can beat the price/performance ratio! Kind staff, fully equipped apartment, wifi top notch! If you don't mind driving to Katschberg ski resort for 12-15 minutes than this is your dream stay.
We had a wonderful family stay on the fifth floor in this resort in July 2021, these modern apartments are spacious, designed and furnished to the highest standards, not to mention the stunning kindness and quality of service from the resort managers. No question or special arrangement was too hard, so, special thanks to the fantastic service, as we had to cope with a family member with multiple disabilities. The nature panorama you can see on the back side of the resort is just another bonus worth every penny, just sit down and relax with a glass of wine, leave all your worries and stress behind for a week or two, take a fresh walk in the mountains or visit some castles and traditional Austrian villages all at handreach.
