Hallstatt and the Salzkammergut

Hallstatt under snow is the picture the word winter was coined for: pastel houses stacked between mountain and lake, a church spire, woodsmoke.

About this place

Make it the show-stopping day trip of a Salzkammergut week — the funicular climbs to the Skywalk viewing platform, and the ancient salt-mine tours, wooden miners' slides included, delight over-fours when open. Base in nearby Obertraun or Bad Goisern for family apartments and gentler prices, and go midweek to dodge the coach crowds.
