Ramsau

In Ramsau, you experience an authentic alpine community—framed by mighty mountains. Here, hospitality is part of everyday life, traditions are kept alive, and nature sets the rhythm. As Germany’s first mountaineering village, Ramsau has long stood for a future shaped by sustainability. Around two-thirds of the municipality lies within Germany’s only Alpine national park. Here, you’ll encounter the iconic Watzmann (2,713 meters) and the Blaueis, the northernmost glacier in the Alps.

This is your place if you’re looking for active relaxation in a spectacular setting—whether hiking, mountaineering, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. In summer, choose from 250 kilometers of hiking trails and discover more than 70 species of medicinal plants and herbs growing across the alpine meadows. You can also explore this rich biodiversity right in the village at the Bergkurgarten, with its alpine flowers and wild herbs.

And if you’re looking for locally produced and crafted goods, the “heimisch & fair” (local and fair) label connects you with authentic regional quality.
