Stay overnight - day trippers leave by 6 PM. Early morning (before 9 AM) and evening offer magical empty streets
Use P1 parking at the tunnel entrance (€15-25/day). The village is car-free. Consider parking in Obertraun instead
For the village itself - yes. But to see salt mines, Dachstein caves, and Five Fingers, plan 2-3 days
