Holidays in the Attersee-Attergau region - outdoor moments between mountain & lake in the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut

Between glistening lake and rolling hills, between "Oh, how beautiful!" and "I never want to leave!"
Whether you want to let off steam by hiking, cycling or swimming - or simply relax in a deckchair with a view of the countryside: You'll find the full programme here. While the lake takes care of your inner peace, the gentle hills of the Attergau and the rugged cliffs of the Höllengebirge provide the necessary balance - while hiking, climbing, walking or e-biking with a view.
The Attersee-Attergau region in the heart of the Salzkammergut is no ordinary holiday destination - it is an invitation to take a deep breath, marvel and enjoy. In other words: this is where nature meets joie de vivre and relaxation meets adventure.

For all those who like to experience more (and seek less)
