Looking to lose yourself in alpine beauty? The "Austrian Lakes Walk" offers eight days of self-guided walking through Austria’s spectacular Salzkammergut, a UNESCO World Heritage region famed for its 76 pristine lakes, dramatic glaciers, and lush summer meadows. Designed for experienced and senior travelers seeking a moderate, flexible adventure, this private tour lets you wander at your own pace between charming villages like Bad Goisern, Bad Aussee, and Strobl.
Stroll past wooden chalets adorned with vibrant flower boxes, cross meadows alive with butterflies, and gaze up at imposing rock faces soaring as high as 3000 meters. Each evening, relax in welcoming pensions and small hotels, savoring hearty regional cuisine and the warm hospitality that defines Austrian culture.
Nature lovers will delight in spotting local fauna—ibex, chamois, marmots—and the chance to unwind beside crystal-clear alpine lakes. With easy transport between centers, you can tailor each day’s walk to your interests and energy levels.
The unique highlight of this tour package is its perfect blend of independence and support, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Austria’s breathtaking lake district without the stress of planning logistics. If you crave a tranquil, nature-rich getaway with a personal touch, this walking trip is sure to enchant.
Our trip was so easy and fun! We could hike and be out everyday without working about it bags or where we would stay at night.
My sister and I used them to set up a self-guided walking tour in the Austrian Salzburg Lake District. They had multiple options and we had no issue finding one that fit our schedule and walking goals. Communication was clear and we felt well-taken care of. We would definitely use them again for our next adventure!
Very pretty area, with great walking.
Sensational route, beautiful and authentically run accommodation, & excellent coms and logistics. We will be back for another!
We thoroughly enjoyed our walk in the Austrian Lakes. They organised all of our accommodation, and luggage transport, and provided us with good track notes, and local suggestions of what to see and where to eat. We would book through them again.
