Worth Knowing Before Your Visit
The themes and information of the "Underground Classroom" experience are tailored to children between the ages of 6 and 15 years old.
The guided tour through the salt mine takes approximately 90 minutes. Don't forget to plan in some extra time to visit the Celtic Mountain (Kelten.Erlebnis.Berg) - addmission included in your ticket - directly across from the salt mine's visitor center, where you can spend as much time exploring as you'd like.
In order to provide the best experience possible for our schools and their students, we limit our tour capacity to a maximum of 60 people. If your group will have to be split into multiple tour groups, the tour times will be approximately 30 minutes apart. Our tip to pass the time without missing out on the fun: Explore the Celtic Mountain (Kelten.Erlebnis.Berg)! Admission is included in your tickets, so wander across from the mine entrance and visitor's center to immerse yourselves in life as it was 2,500 years ago on the Dürrnberg, and return to the modern age in no time with the exhibition salt manufactory.
Within the salt mine in Salzburg, we have a year round temperature of approximately 10° Celsius, rain or shine, so prepare for cooler temperatures. Be sure to remind students to come dressed warmly with sturdy footwear for their comfort and safety, so nothing stands in the way of a good time in the mine!
We offer free parking for busses directly adjacent to the entrance of the salt mines.
