A road snakes up to 1287m Gaisberg, where stellar views of the Salzburg Valley, Salzkammergut lakes, the limestone Tennengebirge range and neighbouring Bavaria await. The best way to appreciate all this is on the 5km around-the-mountain circuit trail. Salzburgers also head up here for outdoor pursuits from mountain biking to cross-country skiing. Bus 151 (€3.40, 18 minutes) operates a twice daily direct service from Mirabellplatz to Gaisberg in summer; or take the hourly bus number 2 (€4.70, 30 minutes) from Mirabellplatz, which involves a change at Obergnigl. From November to March the bus only goes as far as Zistelalpe, 1.5km short of the summit.
