Austria Luxury Vacations

Austria Travel Guide

Not to be cast aside merely as a luxury ski resort destination, Austria is beginning to compete with neighbors like Germany and Switzerland in the global luxury travel industry. With 75% of the country devoted to majestic Alpine peaks and valleys, Austria has already captivated the winter travel circuit. However, the exuberant capital city, rich national artistic heritage and stunning landscape with luxury spa resorts and sleepy farm towns abound are making a play for a revamped reputation as a charming and fulfilling year-round luxury travel destination.

Austria’s Alpine region is rivaled only by neighboring Switzerland and has long been a classic choice for ski resorts and cozying up in a private ski chalet. However, once the slopes thaw in the blossoming spring, you’ll be ready to run across the rolling hills that are alive with the sound of music. Nestled into the verdant valleys are cultural hotspots like Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart decorated with Baroque cathedrals and Bregenz, located on freshwater Lake Constance.

Austria’s capital, Vienna, is a world unto itself with ornate cathedrals, grandiose palaces and whimsical shopping streets lined with chic restaurants. As the historical center of culture in the country, Vienna is a prime location for culture enthusiasts taking a break from the rugged and scenic Alpine trails.
