VEGA Sternwarte is an observatory event location on the Haunsberg, about 30 minutes by car from Salzburg. Its event areas are laid out for up to 150 people and are used for seminars, conferences, workshops, product presentations, dinners and company celebrations. The address is Hochberg 3 in Obertrum am See.
Seminars and company events
Business events are the first use the venue lists. Conferences, seminars, dealer meetings and customer meetings are combined with short keynotes and talks on nature and science, so the program of the day has a common thread. The team also describes product and brand presentations as a format of their own, with the content shaped around the company or the launch.
Meetings and leadership workshops are offered for full-day sessions with staff or clients. The rooms combine media technology with a setting meant to support concentrated work. Keynotes and short talks can be added to existing leadership or HR programs, and the observatory theme gives these sessions a visual reference point. HR events and training days follow the same logic: the content is tied to the goals and values of the company.
For team days, the venue offers a moderated format called Astro Games. Four games test dexterity, coordination, creativity and problem solving. Teams present their result, and a jury gives feedback at the end. The venue also lists edutainment programs and off-road automotive experiences among its program options.
A media and broadcast studio use is listed as well. It covers audio and video productions, hybrid events, streaming and recordings, which is useful when part of the audience joins remotely.
Dinners and celebrations
Evening formats include gala dinners, client events, Christmas parties, anniversaries, award ceremonies and networking events. Astronomy and science elements can be built into the evening, so guests have something to do beyond the meal. The venue describes these as events that carry an inspiring theme from welcome to farewell.
Rooms and capacities
The official site states that the event areas are designed for up to 150 people, for small and large gatherings alike. It does not publish a room-by-room list in the pages we reviewed, so the split between plenary, dining and breakout use should be confirmed with the team. The site also offers an equipment page and a virtual tour, which help to judge the layout before a visit.
Catering
Food and drink can be provided by the venue's experienced catering partner or by a caterer of your choice. This matters for organisers who already have a supplier, for example for a client dinner or a company anniversary.
Setting and operator
The location sits on the Haunsberg, above the lakes north of Salzburg, and the astronomy theme runs through the offer. The venue is run by Choros Concept GmbH, a Salzburg company that also develops the event programs. Its contact details are listed on the official site, with a form for enquiries.
Getting there
The site gives the driving time from Salzburg as about 30 minutes. The address is Hochberg 3, 5162 Obertrum. Organisers with guests arriving by train or plane should plan transfers from Salzburg and confirm parking and shuttle options with the team.
