Tips for adventures from your holiday home in the Austrian Alps
One of the most stunning landscapes in Europe, the Austrian Alps are a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers. Active travellers rent holiday homes here to acces the wide variety of outdoor activities available in both summer and winter. As the famous musical says: 'the hills are alive with the sound of music', as well as the sound of skiers and hikers!
When to visit the Austrian Alps
Choosing when to book your holiday house depends on the type of vacation you want. The Austrian Alps are charming whatever the season. In the winter, from January to March, holiday rentals are often booked out in advance as thrill-seekers flock to the region's quaint mountain resorts to ski and snowboard. However, if you want to explore Austria's mountains in their green splendour, then spring and summer are perfect. From May to September, most days are warm and sunny, but alternate with occasional rainy and cooler ones.
Explore the Austrian Alps from a holiday home
One popular destination is Innsbruck, an impressive mix of old and new, with castles, narrow alleyways, museums and modern galleries, all surrounded by snow-capped peaks. A holiday rental in Innsbruck is also a great base for trips to mountainous Tyrol or nearby Alpine villages such as Söll and Ellmau.
Holiday rentals near resorts such as Zell am See and Mayrhofen - hiking destinations in the summer and ski resorts during winter - are also very popular. Other fun activities to enjoy with the family include boating and swimming in summer, and ice climbing and sledging in winter. Rent a holiday house or apartment close to Werfen village, a stone's throw from the largest ice cave in the world, and marvel at beautiful carved ice sculptures and formations. A holiday house here will also bring you closer to the glorious city of Salzburg.
Above all, a holiday apartment or holiday home in the Austrian Alps allows you the flexibility to explore the region's culture-stuffed cities one day, and breathe in its pure mountain air on the next.
