Description
Salt - The white gold
Salty primordial oceans formed 3.8 billion years ago, 250 million years ago salt crystallized from a huge lake in Europe. Tectonic movements later formed the Alps.
Salt was used for preservation as early as 4,000 BC. The Celts mined it on the Dürrnberg, and in the 12th century the Salzburg prince archbishops promoted the trade.
Since the 17th century, the Dürrnberg salt mine has been the oldest show mine in the world. Today, the Salzburg Salt Worlds tell its story.
Itinerary
Meet our employees from 09:00 at Mirabellplatz 2 and get on our comfortable shuttle bus, which will take you directly from the center of Salzburg to the Salzburg Salt Mine near Hallein! Departure is at 09:15.
The ticket for admission to the Salt Worlds and a guided tour (starting at approx. 10:10) through the salt mine are already included in the package. Experience the history of salt and, of course, salt mining in the oldest visitor mine in the world. Follow the trail of white gold from the present to 2600 years into the past. On foot, by mine train, down slides and on a raft, you can explore the inner workings of the mountain. It is important to dress warmly, as it is only 10°C inside the mountain all year round. You will be provided with a white miner's suit to protect your clothing.
Afterwards, you can stock up on all kinds of salt souvenirs in the salt mine store.
At around 12:15, a bus will take you back to Salzburg city center.

Bien, con detalles
Cumplió, aunque esperaba un poco más por el precio. Aprovechamos entrada a la mina de sal más de lo que pensábamos. Se puede hacer tranquilo sin estar en estado físico. La frecuencia entre unidades podría ser mejor en las paradas del final. Buena opción, sobre todo si es tu primera visita.

Nos pareció correcto y bien organizado. Nos tocó un guía muy amable, aunque el grupo era grande y no llegaba a todos. Salzburgo justifica el madrugón. El grupo era chico y eso hizo todo más tranquilo. Nos pasaron toda la información por mail el día anterior, muy claro. Hubiera preferido menos tiempo de traslado y más en el lugar. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.

Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Salzburgo tiene un clima muy especial. Ideal para una salida especial. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

We enjoyed it a lot, with a couple of small niggles. The meeting point was well signed and easy to find. The room at Salzburg Edinburgh is a gem in itself. The live musicians take the evening up a level. Drinks took a while to arrive at the start. There is room to improve, but no regrets.

Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. El salón de Salt Mines Package es una joya en sí mismo. La atención previa a la reserva fue muy clara con todas nuestras dudas. Nuestro guía tenía un manejo del grupo impecable, nadie quedó atrás. El postre fue lo más flojo de la cena.

Just brilliant. Having guided tour in English of the salt mine with raft ride, mine train and slide makes all the difference. Salzburg was a surprise, it was not on our list. The pace was comfortable, neither rushed nor dull. Very tight on timings. One of the best things we have booked online.
