Never before have we had so much news to tell you about, which not only delights us, but also makes us want to go on holiday in Austria. Numerous new hotels, chalets and apartments have been built across the country. Guests can sleep under the stars of the Biosphere Reserve Großes Walsertal in the mobile Dream.Alive-Lodge, a glass-enclosed hotel room. Existing establishments are investing in conversions and extensions with great attention to detail, such as Hotel Salzburger Hof in Leogang. The building has been extended and now includes a 1,200 m² panoramic wellness area with a 20.5 m long outdoor infinity pool. The new (long-distance) hiking trails are sure to be popular amongst those who can’t wait to get active outdoors this summer. Ambitious hikers can opt for the Hohe Tauern Panorama Trail, for example, which will be offering stunning views of Austria’s highest mountains from mid-May. Quite fittingly, Hohe Tauern National Park is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. And there are new options for cyclists too. Some of the SalzburgerLand regions have picked up on the gravel biking trend and are offering tours. In the Kitzbüheler Alpen, the KAT Bike trail is being updated. There are also nature and animal experiences to look forward to.
