Radstadt is a walled old town in the Enns valley, in the Pongau, with a ski link to Altenmarkt and the wider Ski amadé area. Many homes have a sauna and some a pool, and the town is a base rather than a resort village.
Radstadt is an old town of about 4,800 people at 858 metres, with its town walls and towers still standing, a circuit you can walk in about 20 minutes, and a protected historic centre. It sits on a sunny terrace of the Enns valley, below the Roßbrand. The homes are scattered around the town and its surroundings, so some are walkable to the centre and others are not. Evenings are low-key. In summer, guests walk in the Radstädter Tauern, cycle, play golf or ride. Between seasons it feels like a working town rather than a resort.
