Your Salt Mine Adventure
Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Meet us at 9:00 AM at Mirabellplatz 2, right in the heart of Salzburg. At 9:15 AM, we’ll hop on a comfortable shuttle for a scenic ride to the historic Hallein salt mines.
Upon arrival, your guide will welcome you and lead you straight to the entrance. Your ticket includes a guided tour starting around 10:10 AM. Explore ancient tunnels dating back 2,600 years, ride the original mine train, zoom down exciting wooden slides used by miners, and even float across a serene underground salt lake.

Don’t forget to dress warmly — the mine stays a cool 50°F (10°C) year-round. We’ll also provide a traditional white miner’s suit to keep you cozy and clean during the adventure. After the tour, swing by the Salzwelten gift shop for one-of-a-kind salt-themed souvenirs. We’ll head back to Salzburg by 12:15 PM, leaving you with incredible memories of a journey deep into the heart of history.

Salt: The White Gold That Built Empires
Salt’s story spans millions of years, shaping landscapes, cultures, and economies. About 250 million years ago, a massive salt lake covered the region we now call Austria and Germany. As the water evaporated, thick salt deposits remained, later pushed up into the Alps by powerful tectonic forces — a process that continues to this day.
Humans quickly discovered salt’s value. By 4,000 BC, people were preserving food with it. The Celts in Dürrnberg began mining salt around the 6th century BC, creating a thriving community. By the Middle Ages, Salzburg’s Prince-Archbishops recognized salt as a key source of wealth, funding the city’s stunning architecture. Today, you can walk through this incredible history at Salzwelten Salzburg — home to the world’s oldest accessible salt mine.
Join us and uncover the magic of salt — the mineral that shaped the world!
