6 Top Holiday Destinations Around Salzburg

Holidaying in Austria? It is a relatively simple affair to organise Salzburg Airport transfers to a host of nearby destinations well within reach of the airport. Here are just a few of the wonderful destinations that can be reached by fast and convenient Salzburg Airport transfers

1. Bad Gastein – No, Bad Gastein is not a bad place! 'Bad' translates to 'spa', and is commemorative of the town’s reputation as a health resort. Its many thermal spas have drawn kings and emperors alike, and its beautiful slopes have drawn many winter sports enthusiasts to the town as well. This is a great choice when you're looking for a fun and relaxing break in Austria.
2. Grossarl – Hoping for a quiet holiday in the mountains, where you can enjoy fresh mountain air in the summer and bracing skiing trips in the winter? Then the beautiful market town of Grossarl is ideal! There is plenty of accommodation, ranging from hotels and hostels to cabins in the mountains. Once you have reservations, it's an easy matter for you to get there via shuttles and private Salzburg airport transfers.
3. Ischgl – Hunting around for a ski resort with a vibrant and rousing dance scene that is perfect for partying the nights away? Ischgl has you covered. Make good use of your skis and snowboards by day, and prepare for the many social events that pop up in and around the ski resorts of the area at night. Ischgl is a fun and lively winter destination.
4. Silbertal – This is another great destination for the traveller seeking a quiet getaway high in the alpine mountains. Hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking – this quiet little corner of Austria is the perfect place to go when you simply want to reconnect with nature, away from all the crowds and concrete.
5. Malbun – If you're looking to cross the border from Austria to Liechtenstein, Salzburg airport transfers can bring you straight to the principality’s only skiing resort. This is the place to go if you want to ski or hike the Ochsenkopf mountain, and is another example of a picturesque destination where small and simple rules the day.
6. Ladis – Ladis is another resort town that has flourished thanks to its thermal springs. The springs of Ladis, however, have more sulphur in their waters, and are located quite conveniently to a few ski pistes, making it an attractive option during the winter season. Once the summer months roll around, the snow gives way to plenty of greenery, which is excellent for camping and picnicking.

Keep these destinations in mind, and you’ll be able to find the perfect holiday getaway in Austria.
