Water temperature…
Flachau is one of Austria's most famous winter sports resorts, located directly on the Tauern highway in the Salzburg region. The village achieved world fame as the home of the "Herminator" Hermann Maier and regularly hosts the Alpine Ski World Cup, especially the legendary women's night slalom. With state-of-the-art lift facilities like the "Starjet," Flachau features direct access to Snow Space Salzburg, a ski area with over 120 interconnected kilometers of slopes. The wide, perfectly groomed slopes are good for sporty carvers. Off the slopes, Flachau is known for its pulsating nightlife and first-class après-ski. In the summer months, the image changes: the village becomes a hub for active vacationers with gives for mountain biking, rafting, and canyoning. Particularly popular are the two nearby swimming lakes and the Enns Cycle Path, which starts here. For families, the "Lucky Flitzer" year-round alpine coaster has fun for all ages. Access is extremely easy due to the direct highway connection, making Flachau very attractive for weekend guests from Munich or Salzburg (approx. 70 km away).
