The Golden Valley of the Alps – the RaurisertalLocated in the heart of the SalzburgerLand and on the eastern side of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the Rauris Valley is a venue for idyllic getaways. No matter whether you arrive in summer or winter, you’ll quickly realize that you have struck vacation gold!
In fact, gold has played a pivotal role in the history of this high valley, set at an elevation of 948 meters above sea level. Mined here for a thousand years until 1927, today’s visitors have a chance to visit relics of the past – such as the ruins of a gold mine at the Kolm Saigurn valley head – as well as continuing the tradition by panning for gold themselves in the valley’s clear mountain streams.
