Austria Holidays

Austria Trips

From dramatic scenery with jagged, snow-capped mountains towering above lush flower-filled meadows, to picturesque villages where geraniums spill brightly from the balconies of rustic wooden chalets, and gentle cycling rides through valleys dotted with fairytale castles, there are so many different kinds of adventures on offer on Austria holidays.

In focus: The Austrian Tyrol

Dotted around the mountains of the Austrian Tyrol – and in its hamlets and villages – refuges, cafés, restaurants and bars all provide welcome refreshment, including some wicked cakes and strudels. The local community preserves many of the old traditions: the high pastures are still farmed, prize-winning Austrian cheeses are made in the mountains, and traditional Austrian dress is often worn. Of course, in the winter the same mountains are covered in snow, making Austria trips superb for cross-country skiing and other winter activities.
