The municipal area is located in the Pongau region within the
Central Eastern Alps, on the northern rim of the
High Tauern national park. The
Radstadt Tauern mountain range with the source of the
Enns river separates it from the Salzburg
Lungau region. In the south, it borders on the market town of
Wagrain. The
Flachauwinkl–Kleinarl ski area is part of the
Ski Amadé network. The inhabitants mainly depend on winter tourism, but hiking and cycling in summer is also popular. ==History==
