Salzkammergut Lakes Tour

The region’s most beautiful lakes in one perfect day

Overview

Hallstatt is the star, but the Salzkammergut is full of lakes that locals love just as much. This tour strings together the finest of them, from the famous to the wonderfully quiet, in one beautifully paced day.

You’ll see the Dachstein glacier mirrored in the Gosausee, wander storybook St. Wolfgang on its lakeshore, and of course stand before Hallstatt itself, with plenty of time at each stop to take it in.

  • Three of the Salzkammergut’s most beautiful lakes
  • Gosausee — the Dachstein glacier mirrored in still water
  • Storybook St. Wolfgang on Lake Wolfgang
  • The legendary lakeside of Hallstatt
  • Imperial Bad Ischl, the Habsburg summer town
  • Quiet viewpoints away from the crowds
