Katschberg is situated right on the border between the Austrian sates of Salzburgerland and Carinthia. It is part of the ‘Lungau’ region which is home to some 15 or so charming Austrian villages.

Main residence apartments or ‘Hauptwohnsitz’ can be found from under EUR 200,000 and chalets from under EUR 500,000.

If you wish to rent out your property then you will have to buy into a managed tourism development or find a property with existing consent for touristic use. These often come at a premium of up to 50%.

Apartments can be found here for sale from €3,800 and €5,500 per square metre (€300,000 - €450,000 for 1-2 bedrooms). Apartments in the village centre that are designated four touristic use command a premium and typically range from €6,500 to €9,500 per square metre.

Is Katschberg a good place for property investment?

Katschberg is a popular ski destination with easy access from Germany, Italy and Slovenia. It is also relatively snow-sure with the resort sitting at an elevation of 1,640m. Property in Katschberg is typically more affordable than many of the better known Austrian resorts, meaning investors can buy here at a more accessible price point.

What makes Katschberg unique?

This means that it is relatively snow-sure and there is a good chance of finding genuine ski-in, ski-out apartments or chalets for sale.
