Das Salzbergwerk befindet sich in der Tennengauer Bezirkshauptstadt Hallein und war bislang als Salzbergwerk Hallein bekannt. Der neue Name wurde gewählt, um die Lage des Bergwerks im Land Salzburg sowie dessen Bedeutung für die Stadt Salzburg hervorzuheben und den Bergwerkstourismus anzukurbeln. Bad Dürrnberg ist eine Katastralgemeinde der Stadt Hallein.

Im Halleiner Bergwerk wurde bereits vor rund 2.500 Jahren von den Kelten Salz abgebaut. Dank diesem großen Salzvorkommen im Dürrnberg konnte Fürsterzbischof Wolf Dietrich von Raitenau die barocke Residenzstadt Salzburg aufbauen. Besonderheiten in diesem Bergwerk sind zwei lange Bergmannsrutschen, eine Fahrt mit der Grubenbahn, eine unterirdische Floßfahrt auf einem Salzsee und ein Keltendorf übertage.
