Always one of our most popular Austrian destinations, our holiday to the pretty lakeside village of Weyregg includes three super excursions plus lots of extras. And there’s plenty of time to relax in the hotel’s lakeside garden!
You will find no better example of Austria’s natural beauty than in the Salzkammergut region, fondly known as the Austrian Lake District. Here you will find beautiful deep blue lakes, surrounded by verdant pine-clad mountains and delightful villages with wooden houses bedecked with brightly flowered window boxes – this really is picture-postcard Austria at its best.
Our chosen resort, Weyregg, has long been a Travelsphere favourite. This picturesque resort is situated in an idyllic location on the eastern shores of the Attersee, the largest lake in the Austrian Alps. As a popular tourist destination it offers a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. The views around the lake are superb and a cruise on the lake steamer will give you an even better perspective.
If you like to be active, local facilities include sailing, water skiing, windsurfing, fishing, mountain biking, tennis and a golf driving range.
Included excursions
-
- Salzburg
A full day tour to the ‘Sound of Music’ city, one of the best preserved historic cities in all of Europe. Set amongst wonderful alpine scenery, Salzburg is dominated by the magnificent Hohensalzburg Fortress which can be reached either by foot or funicular. The centre has hardly changed since Mozart’s time; baroque domed churches, merchant houses and hidden arcaded courtyards. Visit Mozart’s Square situated in the heart of the city, the Dom (cathedral) and the splendid Mirabell Gardens. If shopping is your passion, then a stroll along the narrow Getreidegasse is a must.
-
- Lakeland Tour
A full day tour of some of the region’s prettiest spots, such as Mondsee and St. Wolfgang, home to the famous ‘White Horse Inn’.
-
- Hallstatt
A half day tour featuring the lovely lakeside village of Hallstatt. It’s a photographer’s paradise, with so many wonderful spots to get superb shots.
Optional excursions
-
- Vienna
Full day trip to visit Austria’s stylish capital city. Vienna’s history stretches back 2,000 years. It has received the honorary title of ‘World Capital of Music’, which is hardly surprising when you look at the great musicians who have lived and worked in the city. To us though, Vienna is the capital of elegance and style, with the magnificent St. Stephen’s Cathedral as the focal point. Highlights include sights such as the Schönbrunn Palace, Opera House, Hofburg Palace and Musikverein.
-
- Southern Bohemia
A superb full day trip crossing the River Danube into the Czech Republic to visit the lovely old town of Cesky Krumlov. Sat on the banks of the River Vltava, the magnificent medieval town of Cesky Krumlov boasts narrow winding streets. It is no wonder that it’s been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Perhaps pay a visit to the historic State Castle and Chateau of Cesky Krumlov, perched up on the cliffs above the river.
