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.
