Nestled in the Salzburg region, Forstau is a peaceful alpine village that serves as a gateway to the vast Ski Amadé network, one of Europe's largest ski areas. In winter, visitors can enjoy well-groomed slopes, cross-country skiing trails, and snowshoeing paths that wind through snow-covered forests. The village itself retains a traditional Austrian charm, with wooden chalets and a quiet atmosphere that contrasts with busier resorts. During summer, the landscape transforms into a paradise for hikers and mountain bikers, with trails leading to panoramic viewpoints and alpine pastures. The nearby Fageralm offers family-friendly activities, including a summer toboggan run and a nature trail. Forstau's compact size makes it easy to explore on foot, and its proximity to Filzmoos means you can easily combine a visit with the larger town's amenities.
