Rewarding Excursions
Experience our own “small” wonders of the world (such as the “World of Ice Giants” in Werfen; the Glockner-Kaprun reservoirs; the “Salt Worlds” of Salzburg/Bad Dürrnberg; the Grossglockner scenic road; the Krimml Waterfalls and much more). You are just a short drive away from all of these famous sights.
The Rossbrand - our most famous mountain
The Rossbrand (1,768 m) is justifiably regarded as one of the most beautiful and scenic mountains in the Eastern Alps. From atop the summit, people can enjoy 360° panoramas of almost 150 striking Alpine peaks: from the Dachstein in the north, to the Tennengebirge, Hagengebirge and Grossglockner, all the way to the Radstädter and Schladminger Tauern - the splendour of the Alps as far as the eye can see. More information about the Rossbrand!
Salzburg - the City of Mozart
Raised to the ranks of the World Cultural Heritage list, this city, with its narrow lanes and hidden inner courtyards, is a magical world of the Baroque. Lovingly designed shops beckon you to browse their wares, while historic cafés provide a comfortable setting in which to enjoy rest and refreshments. Salzburg
