Coordinates are the Salzbergbahn valley station; the valley section is 4.5–5.7 km with an ascent of about 430 m; the zigzag path (Serpentinenweg) straight up to the Salzberg from town is closed until spring 2027, so you can only go up from Echerntal; walkable in rain but slippery; (added) popularity counted by myself (0 Xiaohongshu posts). The half-day version walks only the valley section to the Waldbachstrub waterfall and back the same way, 2–2.5 h; the zigzag path is closed until spring 2027, so Salzberg can only be reached from Echerntal; I suggest the valley section only: AllTrails marks the whole loop "glacier potholes–Waldbachstrub–Salzberg" as Hard and [CLOSED] (10.8 km, ascent 749 m), and the zigzag path from town straight up to Salzberg is closed until spring 2027 (hallstatt.net road-closure page, read 10-22); popularity counted by myself (0 Xiaohongshu posts)

Student ticket No student price (the official site has three tiers: adult, children 6–14.99 years, group or ermäßigt; the ermäßigt price applies only to groups of 15 or more)

Note Differs from the old third-party price: the third party says adult €36, while the official site for 2026 has Süd €33, Nord €22, grand tour €41. Attersee is far from Bad Ischl and not in the itinerary, only a backup. ISIC: not stated on the official site.

Note The official site explains: a Panoramalift goes from the upper cable car station to the Skywalk, and from there it is about a 15 minute walk to the Knappenhaus (start of the salt mine tour). Children under 4 can ride the cable car and go up to the Skywalk. The official site does not say outright that "the Skywalk is free", it only describes the process; whether there is an extra fee cannot be seen from this page, so it is understood as "included in the cable car ticket", marked as my understanding and not as the official wording.

The coordinates are the valley station, next to the Hallstatt Lahn bus stop; the zigzag path from the town straight up the salt mountain is closed until spring 2027, so this cable car is the only way up to the salt mine (or walk up from Echerntal, which AllTrails rates Hard and partly closed); transport entries are not listed on the "Pick places" page

No stoppage seen for 10-25 to 10-31.

Student ticket No student price

Note Prices match the old database. Note: this line runs between Hallstatt Markt (town center) and the Bahnstation (train station), not Lahn↔Bahnhof; Lahn is the bus terminal, close to the Salzbergbahn. The summer Rundfahrt Süd (Markt–Lahn–Obertraun, €18) only runs May to September and does not run in October. The official site says "Preise gültig ab 1.1.2025".

The postcard spot is at the north end of Gosaumühlstraße, close to the Nord stop; the user's own words on 10-22: "after 8:30 in the morning there will be lots of tourists"; a Xiaohongshu blogger: "in the morning, the classic spot has front light"; fewer people after 16:30; it gets dark around 17:00 at the end of October; train + ferry route: 07:04 R → Hallstatt station 07:30, the 07:32 ferry runs only on school days, on school holiday days it is replaced by 08:35 (arrives 08:42) → not as good as 541+543

Youth ticket Ages 15–17 €11.50 (€10.00 with an Alpenverein or similar card)

Combo ticket Klettern & Therme combo: K³ climbing gym + 4 hours at Salzkammergut-Therme, €34.00 (sold only at the Therme ticket desk; the website gives one flat price, not split into adult/student). For comparison: student K³ €11.50 + Therme 4 hours on a weekday €31.50 = €43.00, so the combo saves about €9. If you plan to both boulder and soak in the spa, use the combo

Notes Matches the old database (student €11.50). Shoe rental €4.00, rope €5.00, only available during bar opening hours; the website says online tickets let you in outside opening hours. The price list says "gültig ab 01. Dezember 2025". ISIC: the website does not mention ISIC; it says students need ID.
