Enjoy a short break in Austria and you will return home feeling as though you have enjoyed a much longer holiday, thanks to the majestic scenery and the warm hospitality for which the Austrians, and particularly the Tyroleans, are renowned. In summer, we offer short walking breaks in Austria’s lake district and in the Tyrol. In winter, you can escape to these same regions for skiing and winter walking, or enjoy a Christmas market break in or near Salzburg, the perfect way to get in the festive spirit.
Whatever time of the year you are travelling, you can rest assured that we take just as much care in organising our short breaks as we do in arranging our longer holidays, and the detailed information pack which we provide you with will help you to make the most of your precious few days away.
