Lofer Austria - A Charming Picturesque Old Market Town full of Character and Steeped in History

Lofer lies nestled by the Loferer, the Reither and the Leoganger Steinberge mountains, at the confluence of the major valley routes between Salzburg to the North, Saalfelden and Zell am See to the South and Kitzbuhel and Innsbruck to the West. The village of Lofer itself lies at just over 600m altitudes, the surrounding Steinberge mountains, are an accessible range of peaks of around 2500m. Only a short distance away is Austria's highest peak the Grossglockner, at a height of 3797m.
