What to do and see in Austria, Austria: The Best Tramways
As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

2. Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,348 reviews
PANORAMIC MOUNTAIN The mountain at the heart of Innsbruck. The Nordkette is part of Austria’s largest nature park, the Karwendel Nature Park, and can be reached directly from Innsbruck city centre in just a few minutes! The breathtaking 360° view leaves a lasting impression, with the capital of the Alps on one side and Tyrol’s most extensive conservation area on the other. The Hungerburg funicular enables visitors to reach the Hungerburg in just 8 minutes. There are several stops along the way including the Alpine Zoo, which is a favorite among families. After reaching the Hungerburg station, a short walk across Hermann Buhl Square, named after the world-famous Austrian mountaineer, leads visitors to the cable car station. The Seegrube, at an altitude of 6,250 ft invites visitors and locals alike to relax, unwind and take in nature at its very best. Lying at an impressive 7,401 ft, the Hafelekar offers the most spectacular viewing experience.

Innsbruck is hemmed in on all four sides by the Alps, unfeasibly close, impossibly steep. And about forty minutes from the centre of town, by way of one funicular and two cable cars you are transported to what seems like the roof of the world. Make an amazing day of it, even as a non-skier, plenty of places to investigate at each stage of the ascent, pretty villages, the Alpine zoo, nice cafes and restaurants for a full and hearty Tyrol meal or a beer and a slice of apfelstrudel. And of course views to absolutely die for. Number one thing to do in Innsbruck by a country mile - and fully included in the excellent Innsbruck card. I really can't recommend this trip highly enough, and can't wait to do it again.

This is a short walk or bus ride from the village, it takes you up to to a plateau where the views of the area are stunning, from there you can walk to Kop See reservoir (a good walk) and then catch the bus back to Galtur all which are free using your card. You can do this all day long as the Siveretta can has no restrictions to usage.

That was quite a surprise!We were there just for 2 days so it was by flipping the coin that we chose Zillertal Arena over Mayrhofen or Kaltenbach and what treat that was! It takes a full day of skiing to make the tour through some really nice cruising reds and a couple of blacks that are really ok if you are intermediate and above. The panorama is great, the slope grooming and snow quality up to pefection, plenty of space to enjoy skiing and a lift system that works amazingly! Of course the resort is expansive and you can easily spend 3 days without stepping on the same slope twice. If you like powder than this is also the place to be as almost in every point you can go off piste and pick your own track. Will be back again and again, thank you Zillertal Arena!
5. Katrin Cable Car

Since 1959, Katrin cable car has brought a range of visitors to the summit. Enjoy a charming 15-minute drive to more than 1,400 m above sea level with spectacular views! There are NUMEROUS PANORAMA ROUTES on mount Katrin. The network of the circular walk extends from lovely Feuer- and Rosenkogerl westwards to the imperial Katrin summit and further to the beautiful Elferkogel, followed by the romantic Hainzen and the mighty Rosskopf - always accompanied by the impressive mountain scenery of the Salzkammergut that will inspire you. Multi-generation VIA FERRATA: Apart from fun and action for those who want to be active, the promising fixed rope route (suitable for families) offers a fabulous view of the most beautiful lakes of the Salzkammergut region. As highlight, the ascent ends at the majestic cross on the summit of Mount Katrin.

We caught the cable car to the top of Katrin. 50€ for a family of 4 return with the ‘winter card’ (free from hotel as we are staying in Bad Ischl for more than 3 days). There was SO much snow, we were there for about 4 hours playing in the snow, there are 2 restaurants. The restaurant at the top loans sleds which our 6 and 7 year olds loved. There are hiking paths if you like hiking in the snow. The cable cars leave continuously. We caught a cab from our hotel as we were in all our snow gear was 10€ each way, no Uber in Bad Ischl. Had a fantastic day!

I rode the Gaislachkoglbahn as a tourist, most of the riders were going up to ski. The ride was very nice, with outstanding views. There is a very good restaurant at the middle station. At the top are the incredible views for free and the 007 Elements experience and the Ice Q Restaurant/Bar at additional cost. There is also a vending machine area for drinks and snacks, which has public restrooms available, which are also free! To get to this location, one takes a train to the Ötztal Bahnhof, then ride a bus to Sölden and get off at the stop right in front of the Sölden Bergbahnen, which is named the Sölden Gaislachkogelbahn Talstation. Then buy your ticket & start your ride up. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

There are lots of trails to explore, with small alpine lakes with glorious views. Sit and enjoy a drink or a meal on the terrace of one of the restaurants . Climb up the Wanglespitze, and if you have time, continue up the Rastkogel.
