After the huge success of the Broadway Musical The Sound of Music written by Rodgers & Hammerstein in 1959, film director Robert wise and a whole cast of 250 people came to Salzburg in 1964 to create a wonderful movie about the story of the Singing Trapp family from Austria which Maria von Trapp released in the book “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers” in 1949. During the filming of the famous movie Salzburg Panorama Tours had the privilege to take the crew to the various filming locations in Salzburg and its surroundings.

The film starring Julie Andrews as Maria von Trapp and Christopher Plummer, who had the role as the Captain von Trapp, became a great international success, awarded with 5 Oscars becoming the highest grossing movie ever and has reached cult status within the years.

Our guide knows all the facts around the movie, the filming locations, the Trapp Family and is pleased to share them with you.
