Lakes & Mountain Holidays

Austria's lakes and mountains regions combine some of Europe's most stunning scenery and are the perfect destination for those looking for either rest and relaxation or perhaps something a little more active. Picturesque mountain scenery and clean, shimmering lakes abound in the Carinthian, Tyrolean and Salzkammergut regions where Austria Travel offers its carefully selected programme of accommodation.

Austria's southernmost province Carinthia is warm, often hot during the summer months, offering relaxed swimming and walking around a beautiful centrepiece body of water, Lake Worthersee. Charming lakeside towns and villages including Pörtscach and Millstattersee are complemented by Carinthian mountain hideaways, including well known winter sport destination Bad Kleinkirchheim and the smaller St Oswald.

The beautiful Salzkammergut provides the ideal setting for our popular walking and cycling holidays. With the mountains providing a dramatic backdrop, tours circumnavigate some of the region's best known lakes, including Mondsee, Wolfgangsee and the Attersee where routes guide you thorough scenic landscapes, across alpine pastures and over mountain peaks.

Walking enthusiasts will also enjoy the western region of the Tyrol where miles of well marked footpaths provide access to beautiful landscapes, and in the high season cable cars and chairlifts transport visitors in to the mountains.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing mountain hideaway, charming lakeside retreat or the more active option, Austria's lakes and mountains have something for everyone all year round.
