Austria: The Complete Guide to the Alps’ Favourite Year-Round Destination

Danes account for more than 1.6 million overnight stays in Austria every year – and there is good reason for that. Few countries in Europe can match Austria’s unique combination of majestic mountains, world-class ski resorts, historic cities, culinary experiences and an infrastructure that makes getting around remarkably easy. From Copenhagen to Innsbruck takes just 12-14 hours by car, and by air you are there in 1.5-2 hours. Austria is quite simply Denmark’s perfect neighbour to the south – close enough to be convenient, exotic enough to feel like a proper holiday.

While most people know Austria for its world-famous ski areas in Ischgl, St. Anton and Kitzbühel, the truth is that Austria is one of Europe’s most versatile travel destinations. In winter you will find perfectly groomed pistes, cosy après-ski and alpine villages blanketed in snow. In summer, those same mountains transform into a paradise for hikers, mountain bikers and nature lovers. The cities of Vienna and Salzburg buzz with culture, music and café life all year round. And when hunger strikes? Austrian cuisine, from Wiener schnitzel to Kaiserschmarrn and Sachertorte, is an experience in its own right.

This is the complete guide to travelling in Austria – based on decades of experience. If you are short on time, you can jump straight to our overview of 50 good reasons to choose Austria. Here you will find everything you need to know to plan the perfect Austrian holiday, whether you dream of world-class skiing, mountain hikes in the summer heat, a culture weekend in Vienna or your family’s first alpine holiday.

Why Austria? Europe’s most versatile travel destination

Austria occupies a very special position among European travel destinations. The country combines the best of several worlds: the dramatic nature of the Alps, Central European culture and history, German precision and efficiency, and Italian joie de vivre. For Danish travellers, this brings practical advantages that few other destinations can offer.

Geographically, Austria is ideally placed. By car, the northern ski areas such as Kitzbühel and Innsbruck are only 11-14 hours away – a manageable drive that can be split over two days with an overnight stop in Germany. If you prefer the train, the Snälltåget offers direct night connections from Copenhagen to the Austrian Alpine region, where you wake up to mountain panoramas instead of motorway views. And if you fly, you land in Munich, Innsbruck or Salzburg in 1.5-2 hours – faster than many domestic flights.

Economically, Austria offers good value for money. Prices for food, accommodation and activities are generally below the level of Switzerland, Norway and parts of Italy, while quality is top-class. A mid-range hotel typically costs DKK 600-1,200 per night for a double room, and a solid restaurant meal comes to DKK 150-250 per person. Lift passes for the major ski areas cost around DKK 400-550 per day – less than comparable areas in France or Switzerland.

But it is Austria’s versatility that truly sets it apart. This is a country where you can:

• Ski in the morning and visit world-class museums in Vienna in the afternoon
• Hike on a glacier one day and taste wine in the Wachau Valley the next
• Challenge yourself on the black runs in St. Anton or take the family to the easy blue runs in Saalbach
• Enjoy classical music in a 17th-century concert hall or dance to electronic music in alpine discos
• Eat Wiener schnitzel in a Michelin-starred restaurant or enjoy a “Brettljause” in a mountain inn 2,000 metres above sea level

27% of Austria’s surface is protected nature – six national parks ensure the landscapes remain unspoilt for future generations. UNESCO has listed 10 Austrian sites as World Heritage, including Vienna’s historic centre, the Hallstatt-Dachstein cultural landscape and the Semmering railway. And with over 695 peaks above 3,000 metres, including the Großglockner (3,798 metres), you have a “playground” for mountain experiences that rivals anything in the Alps.

Winter in Austria: much more than just skiing

Austria is Denmark’s absolutely largest ski holiday destination – and for good reason. No other place combines reliable snow, well-developed facilities, manageable distances and family-friendly prices in quite the same way. From December to April, the Austrian Alps are transformed into a winter paradise, where skiing naturally takes centre stage, but where winter has a great deal more to offer.

The best ski areas for Danes

Austria’s ski areas are legendary, and the most iconic runs feature on every list. But which ones suit you best?

Ischgl is the capital of après-ski and one of the most festive areas in the Alps. With over 238 kilometres of piste and a direct link to the Swiss resort of Samnaun, Ischgl attracts both serious skiers and party-lovers. The area sits high (1,400–2,872 metres), which ensures excellent snow conditions from November to May. The Danish ski travel operators Danski and Nortlander have made Ischgl something of a Danish dynasty, with their own hotels and a social ski culture.

Skiing in Ischgl in Austria, now with an extra gear

St. Anton am Arlberg is for the serious. This is where modern alpine skiing was invented, and the resort attracts advanced skiers from around the world. 305 kilometres of piste and some of the best off-piste options in the Alps make St. Anton a mecca for ski enthusiasts. The village has kept its authentic Austrian charm despite its international fame.

St. Anton’s ski race: the season’s last race and a huge party

Kitzbühel is glamour and tradition. The characteristic medieval town with its brightly coloured houses forms the backdrop to one of the most prestigious ski areas in the Alps. The Hahnenkamm race, the world’s most feared World Cup downhill, takes place here every January. Kitzbühel is a perfect fit for those who want to combine good skiing with a grand atmosphere and fine restaurants.

Kitzbüheler Alpen, a classic ski area with everything for the discerning skier

Saalbach-Hinterglemm is the choice for families and friends. With 270 kilometres of piste spread across manageable sections, the area is ideal for mixed groups. There are both challenging runs for the proficient and easy slopes for beginners. The area is renowned for its good atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Mayrhofen is a gem in the Zillertal, with over 500 km of piste

More about Saalbach here

Zillertal is the most versatile valley area. Here you’ll find not one but several large ski areas: Mayrhofen, Hintertux (with glacier skiing all year round), Hochzillertal-Hochfügen and several others. The Zillertal is a perfect fit for families who want variety and good infrastructure.

The Zillertal breaks new ground: rent your own private piste?

Skicirkus Saalbach-Hinterglemm-Leogang-Fieberbrunn is a huge combined area with 270 kilometres of piste. It is perfect for skiers who don’t want to ride the same runs twice in one week.

More than skiing: winter’s other faces

Austria in winter is about much more than downhill runs. Villages such as Zell am See offer ice climbing, paragliding over snowy landscapes and romantic horse-drawn sleigh rides along the frozen lake. Bad Gastein combines skiing with world-class spa facilities, where you can sit in steaming thermal baths overlooking snow-covered mountains.

Ski touring and cross-country skiing have found their own followings, and winter walking on marked “Winterwanderweg” trails has become enormously popular. These specially cleared paths take you through fairytale snowy landscapes without requiring skis or a snowboard. Many mountain inns along the routes serve hot glühwein, homemade soup and traditional “Brettljause” – a board of local cold cuts, cheese and bread.

Wellness and relaxation are woven into Austria’s winter culture. Almost all major ski resorts have spa facilities, many with outdoor pools where you can bathe in 35-degree water while snowflakes fall around you. Places such as Alpentherme Gastein and Aqua Dome in Längenfeld are destinations in their own right.

For families with children, areas such as Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis offer specially designed ski schools, play areas in the snow and even an underground funicular designed especially for children. Kidslope areas with figures, small jumps and fun features make it easy to introduce even the smallest to skiing.

A sustainable ski trip? Austria has that too

Austria is a leader in sustainable winter sports. Many ski lifts run on 100% renewable energy, and areas such as Vorarlberg have made sustainability part of their identity. Taking the train to Austria – either the Snälltåget from Denmark or the night train from Hamburg with the Austrian ÖBB – dramatically reduces your CO2 footprint and gives you a pleasant journey, where the holiday begins in your compartment.

Summer in Austria: When the Mountains Turn Green

As the snow melts in April and May, Austria reveals its summer face, and it is every bit as impressive as its winter one. The same mountains that are white pistes in winter become green meadows full of alpine flowers, climbing plants and crystal-clear mountain streams. Temperatures of 20-28 degrees in the valleys and 15-20 degrees at altitude make May to September the perfect time for an active holiday.

Summer holidays in Austria at their finest

Mountain Hiking: Austria’s Second National Sport

Austria has over 50,000 kilometres of waymarked hiking trails, ranging from easy family-friendly paths to demanding multi-day routes for experienced mountain walkers. The brilliance of Austrian hiking lies in the system: every trail is graded by difficulty, clearly marked with red-white-red blazes on trees and rocks, and equipped with signs showing distances and estimated walking times.

Hohe Tauern National Park, Central Europe’s largest nature reserve, gives access to glaciers, high alpine lakes and the Großglockner, Austria’s highest mountain. The national park has over 4,300 kilometres of paths, and you can choose anything from 2-hour day walks to 8-day treks through untouched nature.

Hohe Tauern National Park is Austria’s largest national park

The Zillertal in summer transforms from a skiing mecca into a walkers’ paradise. Over 1,400 kilometres of trails criss-cross the valley, and cable cars such as the Ahornbahn also run in summer, providing easy access to high alpine starting points. Mayrhofen organises sunrise tours every Thursday in July and August, when the lift runs from 05.00 to 06.00, so you can watch the sun rise over the mountain ridges while enjoying a cup of tea on the Ahorn plateau at 2,000 metres.

Zillertal – active family holidays for young and old

The Wilder Kaiser region in Tyrol specialises in family-friendly mountain walking. Here you will find “pram paths” – easy, wide trails that even the youngest can join – interactive nature trails where children learn about alpine plants and animals, and the “Hexenwasser”, a theme park focused on mountain water and nature.

Mountain inns and “Almhütten” (alpine huts) along the trails serve local specialities. Here you will often meet the farmer himself, taste cheese made on site from cows grazing on alpine meadows, and be served “Kaiserschmarrn” (a kind of shredded pancake with raisins) or “Speckknödelsuppe” (soup with bacon dumplings).

Lakes, Cycling and Other Summer Activities

Austria’s lakes are a secret that many Danes do not know about. Carinthia in the south of Austria is known as “Austria’s Caribbean” because of the turquoise water in lakes such as Wörthersee, Millstätter See and Faaker See. Water temperatures reach 24-27 degrees in midsummer, warmer than many Mediterranean destinations. Further north lie the Traunsee, the country’s deepest lake, and Mondsee in the Salzkammergut; together, the Austrian mountain lakes form a summer land that most Danes drive straight past.

Neusiedler See on the Hungarian border is Central Europe’s only steppe lake and a paradise for windsurfers and sailors. The shallow area (average depth: 1 metre) creates ideal conditions for beginners, while constant winds make it popular with experienced surfers.

Cycling in Austria ranges from relaxed family rides along the Danube (the Danube Cycle Route is one of Europe’s most popular) to demanding mountain bike routes in the Alps. Tyrol alone has over 5,000 kilometres of mountain bike trails, many of them accessible by cable car, so you can ride downhill instead of struggling up steep climbs.

Active summer holidays in Austria: From mountain hiking to cycling trips

For thrill-seekers, areas such as AREA 47 in Ötztal offer an outrageous mix of activities: wakeboarding, climbing, canyoning, rafting, bungee jumping and a 27-metre-high “Big Swing”. This is Europe’s ultimate outdoor activity park.

The Smaller Areas That Often Suit Families Best

The big names dominate the brochures, but many Danish families get more out of the mid-sized valleys, where the lift queues are shorter and prices lower. Wagrain and Kleinarl and the neighbouring village of Alpendorf are among the easiest places to travel with children, Flachau lies in the same ski region, and Wildschönau in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps also offers snow outings. Further west, the Kleinwalsertal is a valley of its own, accessible only from the German side, and in Tyrol you will find the Alpbachtal and the Brixental. If you want high altitude and reliable snow, Obertauern is the classic choice.

Austria Region by Region: Finding Your Perfect Area

Austria consists of nine federal states, each with its own character, advantages and specialities.

Tyrol: The Heart of the Alps

Tyrol is what most people imagine when they think of Austria: dramatic mountains, cosy villages with alpine architecture, cows with bells and views that could come straight from a postcard. Innsbruck, the capital, is a gem: surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a charming historic old town and modern facilities. From here there is a direct cable car up to 2,300 metres.

Tyrol has Austria’s best infrastructure for both winter and summer activities, the most professional ski areas and some of the most beautiful valleys, such as the Ötztal, the Pitztal and, of course, the Zillertal.

Lärchenhof in Tyrol is a slice of paradise

Salzburger Land: Mozart, Nature and The Sound of Music

Salzburg city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the birthplace of Mozart and the filming location for “The Sound of Music” – in fact, daily “Sound of Music Tours” still visit the film’s locations. But Salzburger Land is much more than the city: the region encompasses parts of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the spectacular Großglockner Hochalpenstraße (one of Europe’s most beautiful panoramic roads) and ski areas such as Saalbach and Zell am See.

Family skiing and cosy comfort in the Salzburger Saalachtal

Vorarlberg: Austria’s Swiss Corner

Lying furthest west in Austria, bordering Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Vorarlberg is distinctly different. The dialect is closer to Swiss German, the architecture is modern and minimalist, and there is a strong focus on sustainability and quality. The Lech-Zürs ski area on the Arlberg is among the Alps’ most exclusive, while the Bregenzer Festspiele (an opera festival staged on a floating stage on Lake Constance) draws culture lovers every summer.

Carinthia: Lakes, Sun and a Southern Atmosphere

Lying furthest south in Austria, bordering Italy and Slovenia, the Mediterranean influence is felt. Carinthia has Austria’s warmest lakes, Italian-inspired gastronomy and a relaxed atmosphere. This is the place for those who want to combine mountain hiking with swimming in turquoise waters.

Vienna and Surroundings: Metropolis Meets Vineyards

The Austrian capital is in a class of its own – one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, with an unrivalled cultural offering. Yet few people know that Vienna is surrounded by vineyards. The Wachau Valley, just north of the city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, and here you can combine a wine trip with a river cruise along the Danube.

Austria City by City: The Cities You Should Visit

Vienna: The Pulsing Heart of the Empire

Vienna consistently ranks among the world’s most liveable cities – and after just a few hours you will understand why. The heyday of the imperial era has left an incredible architectural legacy: Schönbrunn Palace, the Hofburg, the Belvedere, the State Opera and countless other magnificent buildings. But Vienna is not a museum city – it is a living metropolis with 1.9 million inhabitants, a lively arts scene, innovative restaurants and a celebrated café culture.

The legendary Viennese cafés such as Café Central, Café Sacher and Café Hawelka are institutions, where everyone from students to pensioners spends hours over coffee, cake and newspapers. The Sachertorte – the famous chocolate cake – was invented in Vienna and is still best enjoyed at the Hotel Sacher.

Vienna’s classical musical tradition is alive and well. The State Opera stages 300 performances a year, the Vienna Philharmonic is among the world’s finest orchestras, and the summer free concerts in the city’s parks draw thousands. The New Year’s Concert from the Vienna Musikverein is broadcast to more than 90 countries.

Salzburg: The Baroque Jewel by the Alps

Salzburg is Mozart’s birthplace, the location of The Sound of Music and an architectural masterpiece. The old town, the “Altstadt”, is a Gesamtkunstwerk of Baroque architecture, dominated by the Hohensalzburg Fortress, which towers 120 metres above the city. Getreidegasse, the narrow shopping street where Mozart was born, has retained its medieval charm with wrought-iron shop signs.

The Salzburg Festival in July and August is one of the world’s leading classical music festivals, but the city also offers the Mozarteum, where music lovers can immerse themselves in the composer’s life, and the Salzburger Dom with its impressive dome.

Innsbruck: Mountain Town with Olympic History

Innsbruck has hosted the Winter Olympics twice (1964, 1976), and the city still radiates an Olympic spirit. The historic town centre with the Goldenes Dachl (Golden Roof) provides the setting for café life and shopping, while the Nordkette cable car takes you from the city centre to 2,256 metres in 20 minutes – few cities can match that combination.

Austrian Food and Wine: A Culinary Journey

Austrian cuisine is hearty, filling and surprisingly varied. Situated in the heart of Europe, Austria has for centuries absorbed culinary traditions from Germany, Italy, Hungary, the Czech Republic and the Balkans – and created its own distinctive food culture. The result ranges from Vienna’s new kitchens to culinary journeys through the wine valleys, and gastronomy follows the wine more closely here than anywhere else in the Alps.

Austrian wines and a wine route you have probably never heard of

Classic Dishes You Must Try

Wiener Schnitzel – the breaded veal escalope – is the national dish number one. An authentic Wiener Schnitzel should be thin, crisp and large enough to hang over the edge of the plate. Traditionally it is served with potato salad and a slice of lemon.

Wiener Schnitzel from Austria and the country’s classic dishes.

Tafelspitz is Emperor Franz Joseph’s favourite dish: boiled beef served with horseradish sauce, spinach and potatoes. Simple, but when done properly, it is sublime comfort food.

Kaiserschmarrn – “the emperor’s mess” – is a pancake dessert with raisins and icing sugar, typically served with egg yolk compote. Legend has it that Emperor Franz Joseph loved it so much that the kitchen began making it “messy” (Schmarrn) rather than neat.

Sachertorte from Vienna is the world’s most famous chocolate cake – two layers of sponge with apricot jam and a dark chocolate glaze.

Alpine specialities such as Käsespätzle (small egg noodles with cheese), Tiroler Gröstl (fried potato and meat dish) and Brettljause (a platter of cold cuts with local cheeses and sausages) are best found in mountain inns.

Austrian Wine – A Discovery

Austria produces excellent wine but exports relatively little – the Austrians drink most of it themselves. The Wachau Valley west of Vienna is the epicentre of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, while Burgenland by Lake Neusiedl specialises in full-bodied red wines and world-class dessert wines.

Austrian wine is classified under the DAC system (Districtus Austriae Controllatus), which guarantees authenticity and regional typicity. The Heuriger – combined wine gardens and taverns where winegrowers serve their own produce with cold food – is an Austrian institution, especially popular around Vienna.

Practical Information: Transport, Accommodation and Budget

How to Get to Austria

Air: SAS and Austrian Airlines fly daily from Copenhagen to Vienna (around 2 hours). Ryanair and other low-cost airlines serve Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck and Graz. Billund has direct connections to Vienna and Innsbruck in high season.

Car: From Copenhagen to Innsbruck is around 1,400 km via German motorways. The journey takes 12–14 hours, but most Danes split it with an overnight stay in northern Germany. Austria has excellent motorway infrastructure, and many use the country as a stopover on the way south, but note that you must buy a “Vignette” (motorway toll sticker) – a 10-day one costs around €10.

Train: The Snälltåget runs directly from Copenhagen, Odense and Kolding to the Austrian Alpine region (the Innsbruck area) with overnight services. ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) also offers overnight connections from Hamburg to Innsbruck and Vienna.

Touring Austria: Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) has excellent connections between all major cities. In mountain areas, regular local buses run between valley towns and ski areas – often free with a “guest card” from your hotel.

Accommodation: Something for Every Taste

Austria has excellent accommodation at every level, and the Austria Hotel Collection brings together some of the best properties in one place:

• Pensions and guesthouses: Family-run with a personal atmosphere. DKK 400–800 per night for a double room.
• 3–4 star hotels: Good standard, often with spa facilities. DKK 800–1,500 per night.
• Alpine huts and mountain hotels: A unique experience at 1,500–2,500 metres. DKK 600–1,200 per night.
• Luxury hotels: 5-star resorts in ski areas and cities. From DKK 2,000 per night.
• Holiday apartments: Popular with families and for longer stays. DKK 500–1,500 per night.

Budget: What Does an Austrian Holiday Cost?

When Should You Travel to Austria?

Winter (December–April): Perfect for skiing. Peak season is Christmas and New Year and weeks 7–9 (the Danish winter holidays). Book well in advance – and see our guide to skiing holidays in Austria 2026 and the cheapest ski trips for the season before you book. Low prices in December (before Christmas) and April (end of season).

Summer (June–September): Best for hiking and mountain activities. July and August are peak season with warm weather and all facilities open. June and September offer fewer crowds and still good weather.

Spring (April–May): The “shoulder season” with lower prices. The heights still have snow, while the valleys are in spring bloom. Ideal for those who want to avoid peak-season prices.

Autumn (October–November): “Almherbst” (alpine autumn) in October is beautiful with golden scenery. Many facilities close, but Vienna, Salzburg and other cities are wonderful with fewer tourists.

Special Activities and Interests

Family Holidays in Austria

Austria is the number one family destination for many northern Europeans. The reason is clear: safe conditions, professional childcare, age-divided activities and a general family-friendliness. Areas such as Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis have created entire ecosystems around families with children-friendly slopes, playgrounds, mountain kindergartens and even underground cable cars designed for children.

Many hotels offer “kinderbetreuung” (childcare) so parents can have a few hours to themselves. Austrian ski schools are world-famous for their educational methods, focusing on play and fun rather than discipline.

Wellness and Spa

The tradition of thermal bathing goes back centuries in Austria. Bad Gastein, Bad Hofgastein and Bad Kleinkirchheim offer healing water from natural springs. Modern spa resorts such as the Aqua Dome in Längenfeld combine wellness with spectacular alpine scenery – imagine lying in 34-degree water while looking up at snow-covered 3,000-metre peaks.

Cycling and Mountain Biking

From leisurely family trips along the Danube to adrenaline-pumping downhill runs in bike parks: Austria has it all. Arlberg has specialised in high-end mountain biking with guides, challenging trails and bike park facilities. Saalbach hosts Europe’s largest mountain bike event, the “Bike Festival Saalbach-Hinterglemm”, in June, with demo bikes, instruction and 400 kilometres of trails.

Culture and Classical Music

Mozart, Strauss, Haydn, Schubert, Mahler – the list of Austrian composers reads like a Hall of Fame of music history. The Vienna State Opera, the Salzburg Festival, the Bregenz Festival and countless other events continue the legacy. But Austria also has a lively jazz scene, electronic music (think Kruder & Dorfmeister) and contemporary art galleries.

Conclusion: Austria Awaits

1.6 million Danish overnight stays a year do not happen by chance – the country delivers: reliable snow conditions in winter, spectacular nature in summer, fantastic food all year round and a welcome that makes even reserved Scandinavians feel at home.

Whether you dream of skiing in Ischgl’s famous après-ski scene, hiking in the Hohe Tauern National Park with views of glaciers, enjoying Sachertorte in a Viennese café or introducing your children to the magic of the mountains: Austria can deliver exactly the holiday you want.

Welcome to the pearl of the Alps. Welcome to Austria.
