Modern apartments by the valley station
of the Rauriser Hochalmbahnen

Raurisertal, the “secret jewel of Hohe Tauern National Park” in Salzburger Land, will become one gem richer in 2021: Right next to the valley station of the Rauriser Hochalmbahnen family ski area, the modern Carpe Solem Rauris apartment resort with 70 apartments is being created. Amongst the many amenities of your new holiday resort in Raurisertal are an indoor pool and children´s pool as well as a 1.000 m² wellness area with saunas and Alpine roof garden.

At our in-house Intersport branch, you will be given expert assistance – whether you are looking for top-quality skis for your winter holidays in Rauris or perfect hiking boots for your mountaineering adventures. And the ski instructors of Ski School Adventure (in-house) will do their part to ensure you quickly get into the “swing” of things out on the pistes – also the “little dudes”: The children’s practice lift is actually located right next to the Carpe Solem Rauris holiday resort. Our restaurant guarantees all the culinary enjoyment you could possibly wish for: from breakfast and mid-day refreshments, to a full dinner accompanied by outstanding wines for the consummate conclusion to yet another memorable vacation day spent in Hohe Tauern National Park.

After an active day, unwind in your stylish holiday apartment

Our fully equipped apartments (35 bis 105 m²) accommodate from 2 to 10 people. Summer or winter, Carpe Solem Rauris serves as an ideal retreat in the Austrian mountains in which to recharge your batteries and unwind completely after an active day exploring the Hohe Tauern National Park Holiday Region – without a care in the world. We even bring nature indoors for you: In the apartments and public areas of the new Alps Residence resort, we incorporate high-quality local materials such as natural rock and larch wood. From each of the apartments, you will be captivated by the views of nature and the mountains of the Goldberg Group: with the Hoher Sonnblick and Seidlwinkltal to the south, Rauris town center and our own local mountain, the Grubereck, to the north and east, and Hochalm Family Mountain to the west.

The Alpine roof garden with – what else? – mountain views adds the finishing touches to your rejuvenating vacation in Salzburger Land. What could be more beautiful than, after countless memorable moments in the mountains, on the pistes or at a hut, treating yourself to this self-indulgent form of relaxation and dreaming about the next day you are about to spend at Carpe Solem Rauris?

Holidays in the “secret jewel” of Hohe Tauern National Park

The new Carpe Solem Rauris resort lies right next to the valley station for the Rauriser Hochalmbahnen family ski area and just 5 minutes’ walk from the center of Rauris. The 30 km-long Raurisertal, with its 3000 permanent residents, is the largest National Park community by area in Salzburger Land. Awaiting you here is a holiday far removed from the tourism meccas, surrounded by intact nature and the Austrian mountains - an absolute jewel of the National Park, also aptly nicknamed the “Golden Valley of the Alps”. For centuries, Raurisertal was famous as a center of gold mining. In fact, in its heyday roughly 10% of world gold production originated in this area. To this day, visitors are able to discover fascinating traces of those bygone days: exploring themed paths in Kolm Saigurn, at the Rauris Valley Museum, at 2 different gold-panning sites and even simply taking a stroll through the center of Rauris itself. There, you will pass by the former residences of wealthy mine owners, such as the Voglmeierhaus dating back to the 16th century, today’s village hall (a village map showing historic landmarks is available at the reception desk!).

The people of Rauris are proud of how genuinely authentic they have managed to stay – nurturing their centuries-old traditions. Which gives you a marvelous opportunity to experience the authenticity and pristine nature for yourself: including parades of the Schnabelperchten and Perchten in January, and of the Rauriser Toifin in December, the legendary “Stallion Drive” and the “Glockner Pilgrimage” in June, Harvest Festival in September, along with numerous festivals, big and small, throughout the year…

At Carpe Solem Rauris, even your car can take a bit of a holiday:  In winter, the 32 km of beautifully groomed pistes operated by Rauriser Hochalmbahnen are practically right there outside your front door: a family ski area sure to excite families with children as well as beginners and returning skiers. A ski-touring route begins right next to Carpe Solem Rauris and is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy a first taste of this compelling winter sport. In addition, a shuttle for cross-country skiers runs all the way to Alpengasthof Bodenhaus, where you will be greeted by a tracked alpine XC trail.

In summer, you will also be able to step out of your apartment at Carpe Solem Rauris and embark on your first hikes, walks and biking tours. The National Park Valley Taxi will bring you to the Seidlwinkltal, a valley once traveled by pilgrims and merchants – better known today for its traditional mountain huts, hearty snacks, as well as Alpengasthof Weixen, with its fish specialties and fishing ponds. The public bus will also bring you to the entrance of Krumltal, the “Valley of Vultures”, and to Kolm Saigurn valley head with the Hoher Sonnblick, the Rauris Virgin Forest and the Bodenhaus gold-panning site. The Rauriser Hochalmbahnen lifts operate from mid-May until October (also on a daily basis during low season).

Bread baking with Roswitha Huber. Roswitha Huber has made quite a name for herself in Raurisertal, both with her cooking classes and as the author of various books about bread baking. At the Kalchkendlalm in the Wörth section of Rauris, she offers bread-baking classes, explains how to make sourdough, and recounts her “bread journeys” that have taken her around the world. She bakes her own bread in a wood-fired oven right outside the rustic hut – the taste is simply amazing! Mmmmh….
