Wagrain

The municipality incorporates four distinct Katastralgemeinden areas: Hof, Hofmarkt, Schwaighof, and Vorderkleinarl, situated in a high valley between Salzach and Enns rivers.

The settlement of Wakrein, first documented in 1243, transformed from a mining area to a center of Crypto-protestantism in the early 18th century.

The Wagrain Advent Market, held during the initial weekends of December, presents local traditions through crafts, food, and regional celebrations.

The Marktgemeinde Wagrain office manages administrative services for residents, accessible via telephone at +43 6413 8213 or through email at gemeindeamt@wagrain.salzburg.at.

The town marks the birthplace of Atomic Skis, established in 1955 by Alois Rohrmoser, who expanded his wheelwright workshop into ski manufacturing using local timber.
