Things to do in Austrian Alps, Austrian Alps: The Best Other Outdoor Activities

April 22, 2022 Deane Carmody

The majestic Austrian Alps stretch across the country, an awe-striking area of Ice Age valleys, verdant heaths and alluvial cones within Europe's largest national park, 700-square-mile Hohe Tauern. Taking in the dramatic cities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and the beautiful province of Tirol, home to spectacular skiing and hiking, as well as Gross Glockner, Austria's highest peak, and some of the world's best winter and summer sports playgrounds, the Austrian Alps are an outdoor lover's paradise.

Skischule Sturm Almenwelt Lofer

Reviewed By DISCOLondon

I can't recommend Skischule Sturm highly enough. We have been coming to Lofer for the last 4 years with our young children and have been blown away by the service we get each year from Christoph, Wolfgang and their team. From the whole ski and boot rental experience (which can be somewhat traumatic with young children) to the ski school instructors....the very friendly and efficient service is amazing. We have been to many resorts over the years and this by far the best run ski school and rental service we have experienced.

Vilsalpsee

Reviewed By megperry1 - Sindelfingen, Germany

We hiked down to the lake from Landsberger Hutte. Its a nice sized lake with 2 or 3 wonderful restaurants to eat. You can rent boats, circle the lake, hike and also take a bus or choo choo train back to your car in Tannheim. Absolutely recommend this for a day trip!

Zauchensee

Reviewed By K8982DSadamh - Berkhamsted, United Kingdom

You won’t find Zauchensee in the tour brochures but it’s absolutely perfect. About 10 excellent hotels all within walking distance from the lifts or ski in/out from slopes, 2 or 3 apres ski bars with the traditional Austrian themes and a wide variety of slopes and good area across the Ski Amadé region. I’ve been going here for around 10 years and I still enjoy it every time.

peaceful sunbathing spots around the lake or you can find the hustle and bustle of tourist strandbads - clean, clear water safe for swimming to an appropriate depth for children - some lifeguards present in some locations.

Beautiful! The power of water is amazing. It's a nice stroll on the wooden path. You might get wet. Parking is tricky, there are more parking lots along the road. The entrance is a bit hidden.
