5 tips for your visit
Perfect in any weather –
ideal in sunshine
Our salt mine is the perfect destination in any weather! Whether it’s pouring rain or brilliant sunshine – the salt mine is always worth a visit.
Especially on rainy days or when the sky is overcast, we welcome many guests from all over the world. That’s why I recommend visiting the salt mine when the weather is nice. On sunny days, the tours are less tightly scheduled, giving you more space and time to relax. Plus, with a constant temperature of 12°C year-round, the cool mine offers the perfect refreshment on hot summer days.

Be sure to buy your online ticket in advance
– say goodbye to waiting times
Especially during peak season from May to August, we experience a high volume of visitors. On some days, the queue at the ticket counter can get quite long. To avoid these unpleasant waiting times, you have the option to purchase your tickets online in advance and book a fixed entry time.
And it’s super easy in our online ticket shop. As soon as your payment is successful, you’ll receive your ticket as a PDF within seconds.
This ticket is your entry pass to our salt mine and guarantees a reserved tour at your chosen time.

If you don’t have the option to buy tickets in advance, you can still purchase them at the ticket counter at any time. If the next available tour isn’t right away, we recommend booking for a later time – that way, you can use the waiting time to explore something else – like a stroll through the center of Berchtesgaden with its many shops and charming streets.
The ideal entry time
During the summer months (from April to October), we are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The last tour starts at 5:00 p.m. I recommend visiting the salt mine either early in the morning at 9:00 a.m. or later in the afternoon from 4:00 p.m. onwards. These times usually see fewer visitors.
What clothing in the Berchtesgaden Salt Mine?
Every visitor receives an overall for their stay in our salt mine. The overalls are handed out at the cloakroom and are meant to protect your clothing. However, since the overalls are made of a very thin material, we recommend wearing warmer clothes underneath. A sweatshirt and long pants are definitely advisable. Closed-toe shoes – such as sneakers – are also a must.

Before you head into the mine train and start your tour, our photographer will take a photo of you. You can buy the photo after the tour to remember your visit to the Salt Mine. We also take a photo at the first slide.
This can result in some funny pictures that you can happily share - or not.
