Sightseeing Tours & Trips in Western Austria

See the baroque architecture of Salzburg's Old Town and Mozart's birthplace after cycling through Maria Alm's famous pilgrimage church and the medieval castle village of Maishofen. You'll find natural sites like Seisenberg Gorge, Lamprechtshoehle cave near Weissbach, and Kaprun's high-altitude reservoirs set against peaks over three thousand meters.

Starting at Krimml Waterfalls, you'll cycle to Salzburg where you can see Mozart's birthplace, walk through Mirabell Gardens, and check out the historic fortress along the Salzach River. The route takes you to Schärding's Baroque old town with its famous Silberzeile, then Burghausen's castle complex that stretches over a kilometer, and ends in Passau.

Cycle from Salzburg through Eugendorf and Thalgau to St. Gilgen, Mozart's village on Lake Wolfgangsee, then check out Bad Ischl's Kaiservilla where Franz Joseph spent his summers. Walk Gmunden's lakeside promenade with views of Orth castle and see the baroque Mondsee basilica from Sound of Music.

Visit Bad Ischl's Eurothermenresort and Katrin mountain before cycling to St. Wolfgang for a boat ride to St. Gilgen. See Mondsee's lakefront and Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Fortress, Mirabell Gardens, and Old Town over 5 days. Check out Hangar 7's Formula 1 collection and Hellbrunn's trick fountains, with 4 nights in 4-star hotels.

Trail runners tackle Western Austria's Alpine scenery by summiting peaks around Lake Altaussee, Lake Attersee, and Lake Traunsee with great mountain views. The route includes challenging ascents to Katrin peak near Bad Ischl and runs through the historic spa town's mountain trails, so each day you're combining technical running.

Cycle through UNESCO-listed Hohe Tauern National Park from Krimml, passing Europe's largest waterfalls that cascade 380 meters, then head to Mozart's Salzburg where you'll walk through Mirabell Gardens, Getreidegasse, and climb up to Hohensalzburg Fortress. Check out Burghausen's castle complex—Central Europe's largest—and the famous Silent Night Chapel in Oberndorf.
