Salzburg Summit Games

Hiking through play with the Salzburg Gipfelspiel

With the Salzburg Summit Game, which revolves around the ‘Benevolent Queen and her six noblemen’, hill walking becomes a playful nature experience for adults and children alike. The aim is to climb a distinctive peak in each of the seven holiday resorts of the Salzburg Sportwelt and literally hike through its history.

The Healer (1,827 m)

The benevolent queen’s relationship with her healer was a very special one. He taught her to appreciate and respect life with all its ups and downs. That sometimes active intervention is needed to change one’s fate, whilst at other times patience and calm are required, for the power of silence and mindfulness is a very mighty one. Immerse yourself deeply in the silence, sharpen your senses and let your thoughts drift away. The healer urges us not to forget introspection alongside our far-sighted view of life. He teaches us why outer peace can only be achieved through inner peace.

Hochgründeck tour dates

The Hochgründeck (1,827 m) is not only one of the highest forested mountain peaks in Europe, but also an ancient place of power and ritual. The mountain invites visitors to reflect, and the St Vincent’s Church of Peace offers a very special space that further supports this desire.
