Austrian Lake District - 10 days from £429

Visit the 'Sound of Music' city of Salzburg

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.
