Bischofshofen is a Pongau rail junction town with one major event: the annual finale of the Vierschanzentournee (Four Hills Tournament) ski jumping competition, held every January on the Paul Ausserleitner Schanze. Outside ski jumping week, it is a practical transit point for the Pongau valley, with connections to Bad Gastein, St. Johann im Pongau, and Salzburg. The Pongauer Dom church and a Celtic settlement trail above the town provide cultural context for those who stop. About 40 minutes from Salzburg by train.
