Explore Austria

Austria, a land of majestic mountains and tranquil lakes, is a landlocked country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west, the Czech Republic and Germany to the north, Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south.

Austria is also the birthplace of many famous composers such as Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss, Sr., Johann Strauss, Jr. and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart . In Austria one will find crystal clear lakes, lush green Alpine pastures as well as snow-covered glaciers. Austria's outdoor playgrounds offer unlimited fun for all the family. Explore the Danube Valley's steep vineyards, the Dachstein's warren of sub-zero caves and scenic Zell am See.

Here, Mother Nature shows what she has to offer: A glacier, green mountain tops, and the deep blue water of Lake Zell - in Zell am See-Kaprun, can all be found just a stone's throw away from each other. This interplay of highlights is unique in the Alps and it offers the opportunity of not just meeting sporting challenges, but of enjoying a good rest and relaxation as well. Be it the historic city of Vienna, the musical city of Salzburg or the Alpine jewel of Innsbruck, Austria offers you a range of activities and sightseeing options to explore.
