Ausseerland Salzkammergut

High up on the peaks of the imposing mountain world, from the Loser - the local mountain of the local Altaussee inhabitants - to the "Totes Gebirge", or on the "Tauplitzalm", you feel a bit closer to heaven. The beauty of Lake Altaussee, Lake Grundlsee or Lake Ödensee, with colors ranging from Caribbean to deep blue, is impressive and hard to put into words. If you take enough time to discover the regions, step by step, the Ausseerland shows its most beautiful side at any time of the year ...

When Advent arrives in Ausseerland, things become quieter. The lakes begin to sparkle, the mountains glow white, and at the small markets, people encounter each other with time, mindfulness, and genuine conversation. Traditions are not staged here, but lived.

Those who experience Advent with us feel that it can be more than just waiting for Christmas: a conscious moment, a breath of fresh air in a fast-paced world. A walk in the snow. A candle in the evening. A meeting with people who know each other or want to get to know each other.

Advent in Ausseerland invites you to find peace and actively discover new things at the same time.

Many years ago - in 1847 to be precise - Altaussee became a summer resort for local artists such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Franz Grillparzer. Even today, the Ausseerland is still a popular source of inspiration for freelance artists. Whether at the lakes, or the nature experience places in the natural environment. There are no limits for creativity.

Probably one of the most beautiful ways to discover the Ausseerland is a boat trip. You can choose between nostalgic liners or the wooden boats, known in the region as Plätten. Gliding across the lakes at a leisurely pace on board, the summer moment in Ausseerland is perfect.
