Mariastein pilgrimage site - a holiday here is balm for the soul

Mariastein is situated on a tranquil high plateau and boasts plenty of green space, forests and a very special country flair. Small but beautiful is the motto in Mariastein.

The imposing castle church is a popular excursion destination in the Hohe Salve region and is often visited by pilgrims. In both summer and winter, the castle courtyard is a very special location for a wide variety of events. The place of pilgrimage in the Kitzbühel Alps is a true place of power and offers countless opportunities to actively organise your leisure time. From cross-country skiing to hiking and cycling - the holiday resort of Mariastein will make your trip the perfect break from everyday life.
