A walking break in Salzkammergut

The four of us enjoyed all of it. The stunning scenery and ease of access to the trails was fantastic. Most of all - the FOOD, we cannot fault the food. 

Great trip, very friendly and pleasant hotels, highly recommended

The staff at Hotel Gosauerhof were super friendly and extremely helpful.  The food was superior there as well.

This was our first trip with Inntravel, indeed our first walking holiday with a company which takes your luggage on ahead, and we were very impressed.  From my initial enquiry and booking with very friendly and helpful staff at head office to the taxi connections and hotel arrangements everything was super efficient and easy.  The hotels we stayed at both met our expectations and the Hotel Gosauerhof needs a particular mention for its stunning views.  Both hotels are close the main roads: its wasn't troublesome but worth mentioning that they are not tucked away in quiet village locations.   We had intentionally gone for a level of walking which was not likely to be challenging to 'test the water' so to speak.  This schedule gave the combination of delightful walks alongside beautiful lakes and through villages to admire the unique valley landscape and delightful houses and gardens - not to mention their log stacks which are an artform in themselves - with some stunning high level walking by taking the cable car.  We didn't take the extension to the walk around the Gosauersee to the smaller, higher lake, but heard reports from other Inn Travellers that it is well worth the extra kilometres!  We visited Hallstatt,  an extremely picturesque village which you access from the walk by a ferry.  The little town was extremely busy with coach parties, but still not to be missed.  We always incorporate a lot of walking on our holidays, but this was a fantastic introduction to a whole new concept of holidaying for us - and we will definitely be using Inntravel again for future trips.

The Julian Alps walk was wonderful, the scenery is breathtaking and the wildflowers in June were abundant and beautiful. Slovenia is so clean and the people are very friendly. 

The Austrian Alps walks were also delightful. So much beauty around the lakes. Snow capped mountains, cows and gorgeous clear lakes with beautiful greenery everywhere was just gorgeous.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our Lakes & Julian Alps week with the short break Austria's Lake District

Best thing was that we decided to have 3 nights in both places. The weather gods were looking after us and we had five perfect days with five excellent and varied walks. 

Thank you - I was recommended to use you by a friend and I have come back singing your praises and hope one of my friends use you. I would recommend staying in Salzburg on way as it's a lovely place and made a great end to my holiday. The Salzburg card is excellent value for money and 2-day and 3-day cards are great value when you consider they cover all transport costs.

A superb holiday, well organised and excellent walking routes. Well worth a trip on the cable car still if you are choosing a low level walk from Gosauhof as the views are superb. Loved going across the lake at Hallstatt and you can get the boat from Hallstatt to Ubersee at the top of the lake on the way back then dona short walk back to the hotel if you don’t wish to walk all the way back. 

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.

INNTRAVEL NOTE: Mrs Young combined our city stays in Salzburg & Vienna with Austria's Lake District short walking break and a few nights for more walking at the Hotel Matschner in Ramsau

The selection of walks was excellent and we took all the options to extend, plus some not in the guide book. The hotels were wonderful rest places and the food excellent after long hard days of walking. The beauty of the lakes with the backdrop of the mountains provided an excellent setting for a fantastic holiday.

Excellent holiday. Staff very helpful and welcoming in the hotels.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and the combination of walking and a stay in Munich worked really well.  We were particularly impressed with Landhotel Agathawirt - excellent service and wonderful food.  Hotel Torbraeu was a superb choice - comfortable spacious room and within easy walking distance of the main sights.

[INNTRAVEL NOTE: Mrs Taylor combined 'Austria's Lake District' with our 'Lakes & Mountains' walk based at the Hotel Matschner in Ramsau, and also a city add-on in Munich.]

We loved sitting on the terrace of the Hotel Gosauerhof in the sun before evening meals, enjoying a drink and gazing at the Dachstein Mountains. Also the walk up to the Hinterer Gosausee was well worth the extra effort.

Our personal highlights were the lovely remote cafes after a pleasant and sometimes challenging hike, and stunning views. We loved it all and wished we were staying longer! We loved our short walk around the village in the evening at Gosau. With a stunning sunset and music coming from the tiny church on the hill.  I recommend cautioning walkers about visiting Hallstatt. It was such a lovely walk along the lake to the boat but the town was completely, completely overrun with tourists. Almost got poked in the head with selfie sticks several times. 

A splendid short break walking holiday set in the glorious landscape of the lakes & mountains of Austria.

Splendid 'local-flavoured' hospitality is most welcoming. The choices of routes makes every day enjoyable for you.
