Skiing in Salzburg
There's no better place for winter sports than the Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn. With 270 kilometers of slopes, it's perfect for both beginners and experienced skiers looking to let loose!
The ski area is outstanding, boasting state-of-the-art lifts and snowmaking facilities. Highly trained staff ensure there are no delays on the slopes due to lack of hydration or safety concerns; instead, they provide an adrenaline-pumping experience on deep snow-covered slopes where you'll find powder around every corner!
What's your favorite winter treat? For some, it's the ubiquitous hot chocolate, while others love to warm up by a fire and sip mulled wine. But if you're looking for something truly special, head straight to one of the many Austrian mountain huts: they serve traditional delicacies like Kaiserschmarrn or Pinzgauer Kasnocken. The Salzburger Nockerl generously replenish empty energy tanks – exactly what we need before hitting the fresh powder!
Tscheppaschlucht Ferlach Gorge
The Tscheppaschlucht is a place where you can feel the power and energy of water in its most beautiful form. The rushing river creates an incredible landscape with deep gorges, steep rocks, and a wide variety of flowers, all glowing in different colors – it's truly breathtaking!
The hike through the Tscheppaschlucht is a must for anyone who loves exploring nature and getting an adrenaline rush. The paths, bridges, ladders, and even steep trails are well-secured, but sturdy footwear will help you on this journey.
An experience for the whole family. Enjoy the beautiful hiking trails and take your time to explore the wild waterfalls of this magnificent gorge.
Gänserndorf Adventure Park
Have you always wanted to visit a high ropes course or go on a llama tour with your family? That and much more awaits you at the Gänserndorf Adventure Park. It's a children's paradise for the whole family, with all sorts of activities that are exciting for adults too!
Kayaking & Rafting in Tyrol
Tyrol's beautiful landscape is perfect for exciting activities. How about a kayaking tour or a rafting adventure with a local guide? Enjoy the turbulent descents and rapids while paddling, take in the spectacular views, and perhaps spot some wild animals!
Windsurfing on Lake Neusiedl
If you're looking for a break from city life, Lower Austria is the place to be. On Lake Neusiedl, you can go windsurfing or kitesurfing to get your adrenaline pumping! Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or pro – you'll find what you're looking for here!
Fishing in Austria
If you're looking for the perfect fishing spot, then Austria is the place for you! There are countless beautiful rivers and lakes with a variety of fish species. Before you grab your rod, you should be aware of a few guidelines in Austria:
- Possess a valid, official fishing license
- Pay the fishing license fee
- Have a fishing permit as permission to fish
Golfing with your furry friend
Do you love dogs and golf? So do we! There are many golf courses in Austria, like Gut Brandlhof, where you can play with your four-legged friend. Remember that "house rules" apply, such as announcing your dog when registering, keeping them on a leash for their safety, etc., but most importantly: enjoy your time on the golf course!
Cycling, Road Biking, or Mountain Biking
Austria is a paradise for cyclists. You can take your time and enjoy the scenery on leisurely family outings, or you can go on a high-performance tour in one of Europe's best mountain bike parks – Austria offers many options to suit all needs!
