What to expect

In summer, the Austrian Alps are synonymous with freedom, crystal lakes and endless ridge hikes. To make planning easier, we’ve put together this guide that links specific locations with practical itineraries tailored to your time. Whether you’re looking for a busy weekend itinerary around Wolfgangsee or planning an honest-to-goodness week-long holiday in the heart of the High Tatras, you’ll find an itinerary here that makes sense.

Our tips are for all active lovers who want to make the most of the mountains. And because we know that the best experiences are shared, most of our recommendations are also proven for travelling with your dog – from cable cars to hiking trails. Don’t just expect a dry list of sights, we bring you a combination of factual information and our real-life travel insights. Discover iconic Hallstatt, hike the Top of Salzburg or find hidden waterfalls in valleys you won’t read about in the usual brochures. With our itinerary in your pocket, just pack your hiking boots and get going.

We are continuously adding new places and excursions to the guide.

Accommodation

There are countless accommodations in the Austrian Alps. You can choose from hotels, apartments and campsites. Below we offer our recommendations from our travels over the past months.

Das Franzl - Bett & Brot

Sankt Wolfgang im Salzkammergut • $$

Book

<p>Cosy accommodation near Lake Wolfgangsee, offering spacious rooms, various types of interesting glamping and caravan parking. The accommodation is only about 800 metres from the lake, making it a good starting point for walks and hikes in the surrounding area. </p>

The Campus Alps

Hieflau • $$

Book

<p>Naprosto skvělé ubytování a kemp na hranici národního parku Gesäuse, které je velmi dobrým výchozím bodem pro výlety do celého okolí. Nabízí zde chatky, místa pro karavany a stany, včetně plnohodnotného zázemí.</p>

M1 - Mountain Living

Rauris • $$

Book

<p>Nice apartment accommodation near the town of Rauris, which is a good starting point for trips to the surrounding area – for example Salzburg. The accommodation offers free parking, a sauna and the ground floor apartments even have a small garden. </p>
