Europe Austria
Romantic Chalet Villages in a Mountain Setting
Austria lies in the heart of Europe, combining high-alpine scenery with imperial cities and a living tradition of hospitality. In Vienna, the State Opera and Schönbrunn Palace speak of a long cultural heritage, the Wachau unfolds as a wine landscape along the Danube, and in Tyrol mountains and valleys invite active days in nature. Salzburg, Mozart's birthplace, charms with its Baroque townscape and lies close to the lakes of the Salzkammergut. Distances between cities, lakes and mountains are often short, so culture, nature and cuisine combine easily. Whether as a self-drive journey or a private tour, on a tailor-made trip you experience Austria at your own pace, with carefully chosen hotels, chalets and restaurants that match your wishes.
- Thanks to its proximity to Germany, reaching Austria is effortless: direct flights from Frankfurt, Munich or Düsseldorf to Vienna, Salzburg or Innsbruck take only around 1 to 1.5 hours, and Salzburg and Tyrol are equally easy to reach by car or train.
- The winter season from December to March transforms Tyrol and Vorarlberg into a skiing paradise, while the summer months from June to September invite you to explore the Salzkammergut and Carinthia's mountain lakes and hiking trails at a pleasant 20-26 °C.
- Whether a private tour through the Alps, a bespoke chalet stay with a private ski instructor, or a cultural city break in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria can be shaped entirely around your wishes.
- Austria combines beautifully with Bavaria, South Tyrol or Slovenia, and also lends itself to a multi-day Danube river cruise through several countries.
- Vienna's coffee house culture has been recognised as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2011 — a symbol of Austrian hospitality and way of life.
