Hohe Salve

Hohe Salve is a pointed mountain in the Kitzbühel Alps with a distinctive cone shape that stands out clearly from surrounding terrain. The summit reaches an elevation where views extend across multiple mountain ranges and deep valleys in all directions.

The mountain has served as a key landmark for communities in the region since ancient times, marking boundaries between different areas. Its name reflects influences from older languages spoken in these Alpine valleys long ago.

The Salvenkirchlein on the summit is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist that has drawn visitors seeking spiritual reflection for generations. Today, people still come to experience the quiet and the sense of connection this sacred space offers at high elevation.

Two cable car systems carry visitors easily from the valley to the summit without requiring strenuous hiking. Once at the top, a restaurant provides a place to rest and take in the surroundings comfortably.

The summit features a wind harp that creates sounds from mountain breezes, producing an unusual natural experience. Additionally, a marked trail with multiple stations teaches visitors about the natural environment and its characteristics.
