Sightseeing

Vienna is the capital of Austria, but also the biggest city of the nation (with a population of 1.6 millions). Due to its past as a capital of a vast empire, it is packed with sightseeing attractions, things to do and places to go to. All that makes Vienna a "European grade A capital"…

Salzburg is a fairly recent "acquisition" of Austria: until 1816, it was an independent principality ruled by powerful Prince Archbishops. The first of them, St. Rupert, had founded Salzburg on the ruins of the lost Roman city.

Tyrol is among Austria's most touristy areas, because this is where many of the big ski resorts are. The high-society's choice is Kitzbühel, which is also famous for its ski races. St Anton is famous for more serious skiing. The Tyrolians have a strong sense of regional identity, which is expressed in many distinct features: their accent, cuisine and life-style.

The Salzkammergut is not a federal province, but an area shared between Salzburg and more so Upper Austria and Styria. It is famous for its scenery, picturesque villages and many lakes. It also has a very distinct culture, expressed in architecture, customs (including the traditional clothing) and cuisine.

St Anton is unique amongst ski resorts in holding three legendary reputations simultaneously.

Zurs a classic, and arguably Austria's most exclusive resort, with a long skiing history and beautiful scenery. This is the sort of place where the rich, famous and royal go when they are so confident that they do not feel a need to make the I can afford St Moritz/Gstaad statement. The resort has two Gault Millau rated restaurants. Ski School programme includes Big Foot Carving and Ski Guide.
