A summer vacation in Austria is a vacation of unlimited possibilities. It is pleasantly warm in the Alpine republic and you can make the most of the day to be active and discover new things.
With fun and sports parks, leisurely hikes and cultural metropolises, Austria has the perfect infrastructure in summer to delight families, couples and friends alike! Welcome to your dream vacation at ALPS RESORTS.
Holidays full of high emotions
The Alps cover almost two thirds of Austria. The mountainous country is ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy an active summer vacation. Outdoor sports in breathtakingly beautiful natural landscapes are just as much a part of this as visiting sporting and cultural events or monuments around palaces, castles and museums.
When hiking for pleasure, you will pass mountain inns, alpine dairies and distilleries. Or why not try something new like a lively kayak tour in alpine waters? Thanks to the temperate climate, you can save yourself the siesta and enjoy the day with all your senses.
Summer vacation in Austria: one country - many faces
Each region of Austria exudes its own charm. Tyrol has the most alpine pastures, the highest mountain (Grossglockner at 3798 m) and is synonymous with picture-perfect Alpine vacations. With its wines, famous apple products and pumpkin seed oil, Styria is considered a region of pleasure par excellence. The historic city of Graz is also a feast for the eyes.
The Salzburger Land combines the charm of the city of Mozart with a number of superlatives such as the highest waterfalls in Europe and the largest ice cave in the world. The southernmost federal state Carinthia is known as the land of 1,000 lakes and almost has a Mediterranean feel to it. As you can see, Austria has plenty of sensory delights to offer!

Prima climate: advantages of a summer vacation in Austria
40% of Austria lies above 1,000 m above sea level. Even in midsummer, temperatures are pleasantly warm in sunny weather. In the shady valleys, along mountain streams and mountain lakes, which vary in color from emerald green to turquoise, there is always a way to cool off. There is also a gentle breeze blowing on the mountain peaks.
These weather conditions are ideal for athletes who want to let off steam all day long on the trails, paths and climbing walls without any loss of performance or heat-related "siestas". On a summer vacation with children, you will benefit from the pleasant mountain climate, where even the youngest ones will feel completely at ease.
Picturesque: blooming mountains in summer
Do you only know Austria from skiing in winter? Then you must experience Austria in the warmer months! If the landscape is quiet in winter, it blooms, smells, hums and chirps everywhere in summer. A walk across lush mountain meadows full of colorful meadow flowers - with a few grazing cows in between - is a blessing for the soul. Discover animals in their natural habitat, be amazed by the varied landscape and try out sports at all kinds of altitudes.
A summer vacation in Austria means hiking and swimming vacations, cultural and nature trips, culinary and wellness experiences all in one. The diverse options are ideal for individualists who want to make their vacation unique.
