Summer solstice | Saturday 20 June 2026

Mountains ablaze & pool party vibes

When the longest day meets the shortest night, magic is in the air: at the summer solstice, the mountains around Saalfelden glow with a mystical light. Countless mountain fires are lit on ridges and high plateaus – an impressive spectacle that has been celebrated in many regions of Europe for centuries.

Solstice celebration at Hotel Der Löwe
From the Löwengartl, you can enjoy what is probably the most beautiful view of the Steinerne Meer and the Leoganger Steinberge mountains.
At 10 p.m., the fires are lit on the mountain peaks and ridges – an unforgettable moment and a truly spine-tingling atmosphere.
