Salzburg

We particularly enjoyed the walking in Bad Goisern and Hallstatt. We had one very wet day in Gosau and so visited Bad Ischl by bus instead. Public transport is very efficient! All transfers were very well organised. We found everyone we met to be helpful and friendly. Salzburg makes a good add on - a lovely city with lots to see and do. The Salzburg card is well worth purchasing - we used it a lot.

We absolutely loved this trip! The detailed pack from Inntravel gave us clear directions and was carefully planned to ensure we saw a variety of breathtaking scenery. Every aspect of the service has been outstanding. Thank you for providing us with a very memorable holiday.

We really enjoyed a light lunch at the Gjaidalm so would recommend that for refreshments.

The gondola style boat across the Haltstättersee from Obertraun was a great experience. 

We went to a Mozart concert at the fortress in Salzburg - travelling up by funicular.

We were very happy to be able to combine four holidays into one glorious twelve day Austria experience. Every aspect of the holiday went to plan. The city breaks at the beginning and the end of the trip were a brilliant way to visit palaces and museums while during the middle section we hiked through the most incredible scenery. Throughout the holiday we had fabulous food and there was always a warm welcome at our accommodation. I recommend Inntravel holidays to everyone.

We enjoyed everything about the holiday. Wonderful days in the fresh air with beautiful scenery for our walks, and returning to a very comfortable hotel with the prospect of glorious and generous food.

Gliding gently all the way from the skiing school to a lovely little cafe down the valley, what a joy. Hotel Matschner's cakes!  Returning to Hotel Matschner in the early evening, as fat snow flakes fell, we were guided back by the twinking lights on the little Christmas trees at the front of the building.  For my husband: revisiting Augustiner Braustubl in Saltzburg after nearly 50 years - just as good as he remembered. For me: an amazing first, Friday night in a huge happy room, with chunky tankards of cool beer, toasts with locals and a delicious plateful of hearty food.

The whole holiday went like clockwork. Our stay in Salzburg was excellent, although the weather was not great. The hotel was in a great location and very warm and comfortable. We would recommend the hop-on hop-off bus, which takes in the major sites. The Berghotel Rehlegg was lovely - although initially we expected it to be slightly more rural, it turned out to be perfect. There was not much open in the actual village of Ramsau but the hotel catered for all our needs. The hotel issues you with a Guest Card which allows you to use the local buses for free. The accommodation was superb, and we hadn’t upgraded at all. Huge room, beautifully decorated in typical Bavarian style. Restaurant was good, breakfast was excellent, at dinner the starters always excellent and fresh, main courses rather meat heavy but there was plenty of food to choose from. Wines fairly pricey but you can always have a carafe of their suggested wine. Staff very obliging and friendly. The spa, saunas and swimming pool are fantastic and we would recommend them after a long morning walking (typically German, no clothing!). We had no fresh snow while we were there but in hindsight it didn’t matter as we were able to do more walking. It is a stunning part of the world and well worth a visit. We had a wonderful holiday.

Package thoroughly recommended

We loved our first walking holiday with Inntravel plus the add-ons we had in Salzburg and Vienna. Each hotel had something special to offer: the swimming pool at Landhotel Agathawirt, the smart rooms and excellent location of the Heritage Hallstatt and the outstanding hospitality at the Hotel Gosauerhof. 

There are plenty of options on most days of the holiday so you can choose how much or how little you want to do. Our favourite days included the easy walk along Hallstättersee and the amazing day we had in the Dachstein mountains, visiting the ice caves and walking in the snow, in brilliant sunshine. 

Excellent food, exquisite scenery and a welcome everywhere we walked. Austria is beautiful: thank you to Inntravel for opening our eyes to its delights. 

It was a fantastic holiday but we were unlucky with the weather on a couple of days as it poured with rain all day which made the cycling less enjoyable than usual and ruined the views especially to Hallstatt. However on the good days the scenery was magical. By chance we happened to stay in Salzburg at the time of St Rupert's festival which was good fun; lots of traditional bands playing, food and beer stalls, and it was great to see the locals in traditional costume having a great time - a perfect end to our holiday.

All three parts of our holiday were outstanding and we particularly appreciated the enormous amount of work and detail that had gone in to the preparation of the outstanding notes which accompanied us throughout. We would strongly recommend this particular combination of city visits and walking to anyone going to southern Germany.

This was our fourth Inntravel holiday and whilst we have enjoyed them all, this was our best so far. The scenery was stunning and we found the walking varied and consistently challenging. There was so much to see and although we added on a couple of extra days we felt we could easily have had longer to do the area justice. Salzburg was a delight and the hotel very well placed for seeing the sights.
