The Upper Austria/Salzkammergut region

The Salzkammergut region, Austria's Lake District, is a perfect holiday location year round. The springs are warm, the summers are hot, the autumns are golden and the winters are a wonderland of white. Visit Lake Wolfgang and the surrounding area and you will take home many unforgettable memories. As well as the beauty of this unique landscape and the lakes of pure water, clean enough to drink, the area has much to offer!

Year round you can enjoy the many cable cars, mountain railways, nature reserves and cultural events. In the spring and summer there is lake swimming and bathing, walking, hiking, cycling, paragliding, tennis, horse riding, golf and boat trips, and in the winter there is skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing/sledging and sleigh rides.

Salzkammergut is made up of ten smaller regions. 'Wolfgangsee' is where you will find the village of St Gilgen and Lake Wolfgang. The neighbouring regions of Wolfgangsee include Fuschlsee, MondSeeLand, Attersee, Bad Ischl and Inneres Salzkammergut. The Wolfgangsee region is made up of St Gilgen, St Wolfgang, Strobl and Abersee.

The city of Salzburg is a 30 minute drive from St Gilgen. Salzburg is renowned for its most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and also the classic film ‘The Sound of Music’. In Salzburg, you can enjoy a Mozart dinner concert, take a horse and carriage ride around the Old City, visit the fortress, the Mirabell Gardens, the Palace, museums, art galleries and theatres, or just enjoy the wonderful shopping, the Glühwein and Christmas market.

St Gilgen area

The lakeside village of St Gilgen is situated in the heart of the Austrian Lake District amidst an array of mountains. A typical Austrian village, with a friendly atmosphere and an easy-going pace of life. There is a variety of restaurants, many offering a selection of fresh fish from the lake and homemade apple strudel.

In the summer the lake can be enjoyed for swimming, sailing and other watersports or for a paddle steamer cruise calling at all the other lakeside villages. There is also tennis, pitch and putt and bicycles are available for hire and come supplied with a map of the local cycle routes.

There is a cable car from the edge of St Gilgen to the top of the Zwölferhorn mountain where panoramic views are breathtaking. There are many hiking trails to be enjoyed or perhaps you may like to try tandem paragliding!

In winter, skis and ski clothing can be hired from the local sports shop. Tobogganing can be enjoyed on the gentle village slopes and for experienced skiers the Zwölferhorn offers a stimulating ski as well as magnificent views over the village and lake.

The ski areas of the Postalm and Hintersee are just a 30 minute drive by car or you can take the daily ski bus to the Postalm. The Postalm is very much a family ski area and a selection of runs are suitable for both beginners and more experienced skiers. The Hintersee slopes are more challenging and provide great skiing for both intermediates and experienced alike.
