Landgasthof Reitsamerhof

Salzburg & Salzburgerland


Bedecked with geraniums in summer, this sunny yellow chalet sits just south of Werfen and commands rousing views of the limestone spires of the Tennengebirge. Decorated in modern rustic style, most of the parquet-floored, pine-clad rooms open onto balconies, and the restaurant (mains €10 to €17) plays up Austrian classics such as schnitzel and Zwiebelrostbraten (onion roast).
