Salzkammergut

Where happiness is at home.

Emergence and revival

The Salzkammergut is known to many people as the home of summer retreats and Schnürlregen, rich in salt, lush meadows and forests, blue-green lakes and original traditions. Each of its eight regions is a world of its own.

Active holiday between mountains and lakes

Joie de vivre. One word, many interpretations. Is it the jump into the crystal-clear lake in the morning? The pause when you stand at the summit and enjoy the indescribably beautiful view of the mountain landscape? The moment when you feel the adrenalin in your body as you cycle down the slope? Immerse yourself in the varied landscape between mountains and lakes!
