Austria, both summer and winter the perfect holiday
destination!
Austria offers holidaymakers beautiful landscapes, with pastures, woods,
lakes, interchanged with mountains and glaciers. There are wonderful walking
routes everywhere. You can also cycle, taking the 'Danube route' for instance,
a cycle route along the banks of the Danube.
If you want to get a taste of the history, you really must visit Vienna.
See the Schloss Schönbrunn, Palace Hofburg, the Spanish riding school, the
Prater or an Opera! Austria is of course also known for it's perfect skiing
and cosy après-skiing. It's a very popular winter sport region.
Besides the Austrian 'gemütlichkeit' (hospitality) this country offers numerous
possibilities, "something for everybody": enormous ski-resorts meeting all
requirements and authentic mountain villages. Ski- and snowboard fanatics
will find huge ski areas, all connected, whilst for non skiers there is
also plenty to do: sleigh rides, snow shoe treks and beautiful walks through
the wonderful scenery.
