The Upper Austria/Salzkammergut region
The Salzkammergut is one of the most beautiful regions in the heart of Austria enjoying four true seasons every year! In winter the breathtaking scenery appears in all its splendour when the mountains and lakes turn into a stunning white paradise. Wolfgangsee is one of ten regions which make up Salzkammergut. Wolfgangsee is dominated by Lake Wolfgang and St Wolfgang is one of the prettiest towns set on the edge of the lake.
Year round, there are paddle steamers and ferries on the 11km Lake Wolfgang which stop at all the lakeside villages including St Wolfgang, St Gilgen, Strobl and Abersee.
St Wolfgang area
St Wolfgang, right in the heart of Austria's lake district, is full of history and charm with its lakeside ancient pilgrimage church, frescoed old buildings and cobbled streets. But most famous is the delightful steam train ride, on a cog railway, to the top of the Schafberg Mountain. The panoramic views are simply breathtaking and you feel you are on top of the world!
There are plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars in St Wolfgang where you can enjoy Austrian delicacies such as Apfel Strudel, and there are lots of interesting shops to explore.
Operatic and folklore concerts can be enjoyed throughout the year in the village, and at Christmas time, there is the wonderful Christmas market where you find individual wooden stalls selling lots of homemade gifts and crafts as well as some of the Austrian speciality food such as krapfen (similar to doughnuts) and gluwein.
For skiing, there is the popular Postalm ski resort which is a 25 minute drive by car or you can take the free daily ski bus. The Postalm is very much a family ski area and the selection of runs are suitable for both beginners and more experienced skiers. There is also the Hintersee slopes, which are within a 50 minute drive by car. The Hintersee slopes are more challenging and are not used by the package holiday operators, which makes for less crowded slopes and good ski-ing for intermediates and experienced alike. Then slightly further afield, approximately 1 hour away, is the Dachstein West Ski area with over 140 KM of ski tracks, again more suitable for intermediary skiers.
In the summer, you can enjoy the lake for bathing or numerous watersports. Year round, you can take a paddle steamer or lake ferry across to the other lakeside villages of St Gilgen, Strobl and Abersee which are all worth a visit. St Gilgen is the birthplace of Mozart's mother and is where his sister was married and houses a museum on Mozart. You can also enjoy a cable car ride to the top of the Zwolferhorn mountain.
Walk just a few minutes from the apartment towards the centre of the hamlet of Ried, and the views you will encounter are some of the most stunning in the whole of the Salzkammergut area. You can walk on further past Ried and up over the mountain, across to the hamlet of Winkl and onto the village of St Gilgen.
The royal spa town of Bad Ischl is just 15 minutes away and the wonderful city of Salzburg is just 45 minutes from St Wolfgang.
Activities available in St Wolfgang include Alpine Skiing, Fishing, Asphalt/Alpine Curling, Ballooning, Beach Volleyball, Archery, Ice Skating, Cycling, Parachuting, Paragliding, Golf, Inline Skating, Bowling, Climbing, Miniature Golf, Mountain Biking, Horseback Riding, Tobogganing, Rowing, Snowshoeing, Swimming, Sailing, Nordic Skiing, Summer Tobogganing, Squash, Windsurfing, Diving, Tennis, Table Tennis, Hiking, Water Skiing, Snowboarding & Running/Nordic Walking, Thermal & Healing Bath.
