The highest mountain in Austria, the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in Europe, the largest ice cave? This and much more awaits you when you choose the Giants of Austria as your route. On this journey, you will encounter moments and views that will leave you speechless🤩. Großglockner, the highest mountain in Austria and a glacier, the Krimml Waterfalls, which fall from a height of 385 m and offer an incredible spectacle, Eisriesenwelt is a world of ice beneath the Earth's surface and is considered the largest ice cave complex in the world. The dramatic and rocky Sigmund Thun Klamm gorge is one of the most visited gorges in Austria and one of the most beautiful. The Kaprun high mountain reservoirs Mooserboden (2,040 m above sea level) and Wasserfallboden (1,672 m above sea level), located above the town of Kaprun, offer an experience with mighty dams and breathtaking views of the Pasterze glacier. The picturesque town of Zell am See... what more could you want from Austria? Great food, drink, and atmosphere are just the icing on the cake of this trip.
Immediately after arrival, you will start with the first wonderful place in this destination, which is Eisriesenwelt in Werfen.
Upon arrival, pick up your car according to the instructions and head to the first stop of your trip.
You can get to the parking lot below the cable car, but you will still have to walk a bit. It's definitely worth it. Wonderful views and clean mountain air will enchant you. You can find more information about tickets here. Even in the warm summer months, bring at least a warm sweatshirt or jacket, as it is very cold in the cave and you will spend a little over an hour in it. After the tour, you can decide whether to visit Hohenwerfen Castle, which you will see below you as you walk to the cave entrance. If you do not choose to visit the castle, you can slowly go to your accommodation.
In the morning, head to the Kohlmaisbahn cable car station in Saalbach and take it all the way up to the Kohlmaisbahn Bergstation. Tickets can be purchased directly at the station below. Accommodations often offer a so-called JokerCard, which significantly reduces the ticket price or makes it completely free for the whole day, so be sure to show and use your JokerCard at the ticket office.
At the top of the Kohlmaisbahn Bergstation, on a sunny day, you can expect a breathtaking view of the surrounding area and a pleasant restaurant with a view. Take one of the hiking trails according to your wishes; the yellow signs clearly show you where and how long it will take you to get there and whether there is a mountain hut with refreshments on the way. You can go around in a circle and return to this station and then go down to Saalbach, or choose a circle where you get to Mittelstation, from where the cable car will take you back to Saalbach, or go all the way down on your own feet, beautiful views await you, nice mountain huts with amazing food and drink, freely grazing cows and beautiful meadows full of flowers. Another option is to rent mountain e-bikes in Saalbach and take them up to Kohlmaisbahn Bergstation by cable car and from there ride the trails by bike. The paths are adapted for leisurely riding or hiking, but you will also find routes for adrenaline bikers. In the evening, enjoy Saalbach in one of the restaurants, I can recommend Eva Alm, for example.
Amazing views and a climb along the largest waterfalls in Europe await you.
First, you'll head to the waterfalls. Parking is available right by them, and then you'll follow the marked path along the waterfalls to the top, where you can continue your hike further. You can reach the restaurant or continue past it and then return back down to the parking lot.
Depending on the weather, you can decide whether to cool off in the beautiful lake in Zell am See or take advantage of the warmer environment in TAUERN SPA Zell am See - Kaprun. In the high season, I recommend booking tickets in advance here.
An unforgettable ride awaits you along winding roads to the top.
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road is considered one of the most beautiful panoramic roads in the world, 48 km long and at an altitude of 2,571 meters, it offers a number of viewpoints. You will find educational and panoramic trails as well as a network of hiking trails with restaurants. You can drive to the glacier, to which a cog railway will take you down. At this link you will find information regarding entry and a map of where you can drive.
Beautiful wild gorge and high mountain Kaprun lakes
This gorge is considered one of the most beautiful and you should definitely not miss it. The path will lead you along wooden walkways alongside gurgling water and waterfalls to a lake of incredibly blue color.
After that, a visit to the Mooserboden mountain reservoirs in Kaprun follows. You can reach the dams via the Kesselfallstrasse road. There is a large parking lot right at the end of this road. You can get to the dams either by a large platform (it goes under the lower dam and then you continue by bus), or by a shuttle bus all the way.
On site, there is again a restaurant, the possibility to relax by the lake or go for a short walk.
After the tour, you will return to your accommodation and enjoy the last evening in the company of mountain giants 😊
Refreshed and filled with mountain air and unforgettable experiences, you'll slowly head back to Salzburg, where you can explore this historic city if you have some extra time before your flight.
If you decide to tour Salzburg, you could visit Mozart’s birthplace on Getreidegasse street, for example. Nearby, there’s Mirabell Palace, and of course, you have to try some Mozartkugeln—you can buy the original handmade ones at the Café-Konditorei Fürst. Hellbrunn Palace is also worth a visit, famous for its trick fountains and beautiful gardens. For another sweet stop, definitely check out Austria's oldest café, Café Tomaselli, which boasts a tradition of over 300 years.
Remember to be at the airport at least 2 hours before departure. Return the car and head to your gate. Have a safe trip home.
This trip will take you to a landscape where nature shows its most beautiful face. Breathtaking scenery awaits you, where time stands still for a moment. In addition, you can customize the trip exactly to your wishes. Embark on an adventure and active exploration, or enjoy quiet moments full of relaxation and a romantic atmosphere in the middle of beautiful nature. This area combines everything a traveler's heart desires, charming nature, a sense of freedom, and moments that will be forever etched in your memory.
