Liechtenstein Gorge

The Liechtenstein Gorge in St Johann im Pongau, at the entrance to the Grossarl valley is one of the longest and deepest ravines in the Alps. This unique natural spectacle in the Province of Salzburg is an ideal destination for a family excursion.


About the gorge

The mountain water of the Großarler Ache has shaped the gorge, which is a total of 4,000 meters long and up to 300 meters deep, through deep erosion over the millennia. Already in 1875, it was made accessible to the public through a generous donation from its namesake, Count Liechtenstein.

Highlights

The path leads about 1 km into the gorge and back again over bridges, walkways, and stairs, past moss-covered rocks and an impressive waterfall. In nice weather, the rays of sunlight create rainbows in the fine water dust. A highlight is the spiral staircase "Helix," which leads 30 m deep and offers special impressions. The walking time is approximately 1.5 hours.

Getting there & Parking

The Liechtensteinklamm is accessible by car or public transport from Salzburg. Free parking is available.
