The Salzkammergut treetop walk as a dazzling winter backdrop

When darkness falls over the Salzkammergut, the treetop walk on the Grünberg comes to life. From 27 November 2025 to 11 January 2026, the Grünberg and the treetop walk will be bathed in enchanting winter light. Hundreds of thousands of soft lights transform the treetops into a sparkling winter wonderland and delight visitors of all ages. Fascinating light figures of mountain animals, up to four metres high, create a magical atmosphere and offer perfect photo opportunities in the winter forest. A punch stand and a varied music programme round off the experience and create a pre-Christmas atmosphere for the whole family.

The magic of lights promises an unforgettable experience – whether as a romantic outing for two, a magical family evening or a little break from everyday life.

How sustainable is the light installation?



Sustainability is a key principle at the Salzkammergut treetop walk and for Erlebnis Akademie GmbH as a whole. For this reason, the operating company has dealt intensively with this issue in advance. Energy consumption was a decisive criterion. Although we are installing a total of around 300,000 LED lights: This is state-of-the-art LED technology and the light is very soft, which is why the entire lighting system only consumes around 4 kilowatt hours of electricity per day. By way of comparison, that is less than one person consumes per day in a private household.

Is there an impact on forest animals?

Is there an impact on forest animals?



We use a warm white, soft light with very low light emissions. The light sources used are designed for outdoor use in nature, with a particular focus on minimising the impact on wildlife - including birds, bats and all our other fellow inhabitants on the Grünberg. The lighting installation will be coordinated with key nature conservation and landscape management organisations.
