Location of Filzen Saddle

The Filzen Saddle (German: Filzensattel) is a mountain pass, 1,290 m above sea level (AA) high,[1] between Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer near Hinterthal/Maria Alm in the Pinzgau region and Dienten am Hochkönig in the Pongau in the Austrian federal state of Salzburg. The B 164 crosses the saddle linking Saalfelden via the Dienten Saddle and Bischofshofen.

The Filzen Saddle is the lowest crossing between the Filzenkopf (1,513 m above sea level (AA)[1]) to the north and the Gabühel (1,596 m above sea level (AA)[1]) southwest of the saddle.
