Psst… we’re going to let you in on a secret. Austrian cities are the ideal way to unwind. Whether you’re looking to consume hearty portions of schnitzel, tafelspitz and sachertorte in the country’s world-class restaurants; steeping yourself in culture in its operas, museums and concert halls; drinking some of the best selections from its banging wine trade; deep-diving its vibrant nightlife or simply strolling its streets – from Salzburg’s Arthotel Blaue Gans to Hotel Sans Souci Vienna and everything in between - you’re in for a tasty Teutonic treat. And there’s plenty to choose from, too.

Alpine Stays
“The hills are alive with the sound of music,” or so the song goes… why don’t you find out if that’s really true and head for the rarefied air of the Austrian Alps? After all, they need to be seen to believe. Barring that, let us try to paint the picture. We’re talking stunning high-altitude meadows teeming with lush greenery and wildflowers during the summer and unbroken fields of alabaster-white snow during the winter, just calling out to be explored on a mountain bike or a pair of Nordic skis, depending on which season you’re visiting (we recommend all four).
Aqua Dome
We’re talking about ski-in, ski-out resorts with some of the best terrain on the planet, whether you’re strapped onto a snowboard, skis, or splitboarding and touring through thick evergreen forests that look like they’ve been lifted from a fairy tale, bombing down epic lunar backcountry bowls, or technical terrain above the tree-line. If that tickles your fancy, take a look at Naturhotel Forsthofgut.

Not a downhill daredevil? Not to worry – Austrian mountain towns are just as known for their top-class cuisine, culture and pampering. Want to get a taste of the finest, ahem, haute cuisine? Book yourself a room at Romantik Hotel im Weissen Rössl and a table at its award-winning restaurant. Looking to wash away some of those aches and pains and escape into your senses at a world-class spa? You could do a whole lot worse than Aqua Dome.
