Salzburg state spans from the lake district of the Flachgau north of the city to the High Tauern glaciers in the south, covering five distinct districts with different characters. The city of Salzburg anchors the north with its Baroque architecture and festival culture. The Pongau valleys host the Ski Amade ski network. The Pinzgau corridor leads to Zell am See and the Hohe Tauern National Park. The Gasteinertal thermal spa valley is one of Austria's longest-established Kur destinations. The Lungau in the far south is a high enclosed basin with its own traditions. Train connections run south from Salzburg city through the Pongau on the Tauern line. The SalzburgerLand Card covers major attractions across the state and is worth purchasing for multi-day visits.
