The wedding will take place at an altitude of 1300 m at Alpenoase Sonnhof in Hinterglemm, Austria on Saturday 6.7. We hope that you can make it that day. However, because we don’t get to see so many of you very often and because the place is simply beautiful – we would love to take this occasion to hang out a bit more. Our wedding will be very international and many of our family members and friends will meet here for the first time. Therefore, we would be extremely happy to spend the whole weekend together to have relaxed time to meet and greet everyone. The Saalbach region is one of Austria’s top destinations and offers plenty of outdoor-activities for a couple of days of fun for everyone’s taste also making it worthwhile for far away travelers. We will be around even longer so surely there be company for the ones with holiday feelings.

For our guests coming by car:

Coming from Styria or Vienna: You can just drive towards Salzburg.

Coming from Switzerland: You can either go over Munich or directly through the beautiful valleys of Austria. From Zurich you will spend roughly 5 hours in your car either way. Having said that, the direct way through Austria is much more beautiful. If you prefer highways, over Munich is your route.

Coming from Germany:  It is best to head towards Munich first and from Munich follow the Highway A8 south towards Salzburg. (be aware to leave the highway half way to Salzburg)

To reach the target destination you drive through both the villages of Saalbach and Hinterglemm. Right before the two Gondolas “Zwoelfer Nordbahn” and “Hochalmbahn” turn right and follow the signs uphill to the wedding camp.

For our international guests arriving by plane:

Following three international airports make the best options:

• Airport Salzburg is closest and only 1,5 hours away by car. By public transport you can reach the destination in 2,5 hours. Train and bus connections can be booked under www.oebb.at. This option can of course be combined with wandering about the city of Mozart as Salzburg offers interesting historical and cultural treats.

• Airport Munich is from most departures the most convenient option. As Munich ha a large international airport booking early enough you can also close some cheap deals. From Munich Airport you can reach Saalbach by car in 2,5 hours or by public transport in 3 hours 50 min (www.oebb.at). Alternatively, one can take a train to neighboring village Zell am See (3 hours) which is a nice destination to take a day stroll.

• Airport Vienna is further away but in case you want to combine your travels with a city trip to Austria’s beautiful capital this is the chance. From Vienna you can take the train to Saalbach (5, 5 hours) respectively drive by car in 4 hours or you go with the luxury way and fly to Salzburg 😊

For those who like to drive, we will assist in creating groups that can use car rental and hit the road together depending on which airport you plan to fly in to.

The wedding location – Alpenoase Sonnhof – also function as a hotel and can accommodate up to 60 people. Thus, many of our wedding guests can stay here. Rooms come in different price categories and can be booked through us (first come – first served). Sonnhof has a smaller Spa and Sauna area as well as a natural pond with swimming and chillax possibilities. For our guests with smaller children and babies we recommend staying here as you will have the chance to put the kids to bed, monitor them whilst you can still join the party at the same location.

The room prices below are per person and contains half pension, meaning breakfast and dinner is included. Additionally, for the night of the wedding Saturday-Sunday there will be a 15 Euro reduction from the price (also per person).

The region Saalbach – Hinterglemm is packed with hotels and Holiday apartments. So if you prefer to stay down in the valley, you can find your preferred option here: www.saalbach.com
