Salt Mine & Skywalk closed
Dear visitors and guests, Since September 1, 2025, the salt mine in Hallstat has been closed due to extensive construction work. These will last until June 2026. Also affected by the closure is access to the Skywalk above Hallstatt and the cable car to the Salzberg is also out of service during the reconstruction work. For all those who do not want to miss out on a visit to the salt mine, the Salt Mine has set up a daily bus shuttle to the neighboring Altaussee Salt Mine.
