Ski-ing/snow-boarding in family friendly resorts in the winter months
I have an apartment just waiting for you!
Within 20 minutes of historic and beautiful Salzburg by bus or hire-car, close to the spa town of Bad Ischl, two hour drive to Vienna and situated in the Salzkammergut, this is a beautiful part of the world, suitable for a romantic long week-end, activity break or family holiday at any time of the year.
From May to September all watersports on the lake together with tennis, indoor pool with slides into the lake, cycling, hiking, classical outdoor music concerts (St Gilgen is the birthplace of Mozarts mother after all!), fishing, nearby beautiful Golf course at Mondsee, cable car to the top of the Zwolferhorn mountain, steam train to the top of the Schafberg mountain, and horse-riding in the woods around lake Wolfgang.
Great food ranging from satisfying and tasty Austrian food to Italian and Chinese restaurants.
A favourite location for Nordic walking and also paragliding from the summit of the Zwolferhorn. Bavaria and Munich are also within an hour with more beautiful mountains, lakes, salt mines and towns to explore in Germany.
March/April and October /November still beautiful weather, less visitors and the opportunity to enjoy the mountains, lake and local hospitality with less people around!
