The broad valleys are dotted with idyllic villages and framed by jagged peaks that reach high into the sky, while the slopes are criss-crossed with inviting trails, and as such are like one giant playground in both summer and winter. And then there are the lakes – sparkling, blue and fjord-like, around which gentle cycleways and footpaths wind.
Austria is also blessed with more than its fair share of fascinating cities: Vienna – all imperial charm and gleaming coffee houses; Innsbruck, with its dramatic Alpine backdrop; and Salzburg, a true Baroque gem.

Rich in colour and natural beauty, summertime in the Tyrol paints a vibrant canvas – one that’s yours to trace. The cool-blue waters of Lake Achensee in its mountain nest create an idyllic backdrop to a range of trails, meadows burst with cheerful wildflowers from June onwards, and the River Inn meanders gently through its eponymous valley – a ribbon of silvery blue through the countryside’s patchwork of green summer hues.
The Tyrol region offers a serene yet invigorating escape in winter, with crisp mountain air and trees lightly laced with snow creating an idyllic setting for peaceful exploration. Walking is far from the only way of experiencing the region, which boasts abundant outdoor activities and opportunities for snowshoe hikes, downhill and cross-country skiing, and tobogganing. With spectacular panoramas all around and the postcard-pretty city of Innsbruck nearby, it feels as though you’re in your very own fairytale world.
The contoured hills of the Wachau Valley are cloaked in woodland, lush green and bathed in warm tones in spring and early summer. The mighty river Danube winds between the slopes, coolly reflecting the bright skies on its journey through Austria, and it’s an ideal time to explore the many historic landmarks that dot the landscape.
