Mountain-skiing vacation

The Eastern Alps cover about 62% of the country's territory and provide tourists with slopes of varying difficulty levels and the opportunity to practice active sports almost all year round. Such a long season for skiing is provided by glaciers. If the selected mountain region does not belong to the number of those that include eternal ice, then the season ends in April. Excellent landscapes and carefully guarded, and therefore environmentally friendly, nature - additional bonuses of Austria.

Ski resorts are often located either in the immediate vicinity, or even in the territory of numerous Austrian national parks and reserves, which gives them their special charm.

Traditionally, the leaders in the field of winter sports are resorts located on the territory of the Federal State of Tirol .Central Tyrol with the administrative center of Innsbruck and its surroundings; the Zillertal valley with the resorts of Fügen, Zell am Ziller, Finkenberg and Mayrhofen; The valley of Ottztal with Sölden, Hochselden and Obergurgl; the Arlberg region and the resorts of the federal states of Salzburg and Carinthia - this is a high level of service, hotels and entertainments designed for different levels of income, opportunities for family recreation and training for those who just get up on alpine skiing, and much more .

How to choose a ski resort in Austria

Excursion tours

Perhaps the second in terms of popularity after winter tourism are sightseeing tours .The compulsory program includes a visit to two beautiful cities of Vienna and Salzburg, whose historical centers are protected by UNESCO, although the capital of the Austrian state and its environs often deserve a bit more attention than other major cities .In addition to these administrative centers, also during large tours throughout the country visit Innsbruck, Graz and the spa towns of Salzkammergut, located on the shore of the cleanest lakes .

If the main purpose of the trip is to get to know as many Austrian cities as possible, then a survey tour is necessary .Otherwise, you should choose a one-week trip to Vienna .A huge number of museums for every taste and interest, well-preserved architecture of different eras, the magnificence of parks and various monuments, high-quality gastronomy and glorified desserts all over the world deserve a separate trip .The possibility of an excursion to the Wachau Valley to visit the abbey in Melk and a trip to the Vienna Woods will be amazed by the impressions .

Rest on the lakes

For a Russian living in the middle zone of the country, the lake is just as common as a river or pond .However, Austrian waters are radically different from this submission .Firstly, their age is more than one millennium .All of them, for the most part, were created in the last ice age .When the snow tops of the Alps melted, then beautiful valleys with transparent lakes formed, the beauty and purity of which the Austrians enjoy until today .Secondly, large lakes have sufficient depth for navigation and water sports .Thirdly, the well-developed tourist infrastructure, beaches, the opportunity to relax with children, various types of wellness procedures, a greater choice of excursions to nearby cities have ensured the reputation of one of the most popular vacation destinations in the German-speaking part of Europe .The only negative - in lakes is not always very warm water, so it is best to come here in the summer, from June to August, after learning about the local "temperature regime" .

If the main goal of the trip is to get acquainted with as many Austrian cities as possible, then a survey tour is really necessary.

The warmest and most popular among tourists are the lakes of Carinthia. In the small Klopainer-See water temperature can reach almost 28 degrees. However, other lakes, with slightly more cold water, will allow swimming both for adults and children. In addition to beach recreation, you can do sailing, windsurfing, take a walk in the nearby nature reserves, and visit the old towns with an excursion.
