This scene was actually shot in Marktschellengberg, Germany and not in Austria as the movie was set in. According to the movie’s star, she and the camera equipment were hoisted up on big and open carts to get up the mountain. It was raining and windy when they filmed that scene over the course of a week in 1964 and on the final day of shooting, the sun came out for 20 minutes to get that iconic shot.
