Off to the Alps – Austria

Mountain passes, scenic routes and hidden gems of the Austrian Alps

Through lush green landscapes and cosy Stuben, over mountain passes and along panoramic roads. Where craftsmanship is part of everyday culture, as is the art of cooking. And architecture offers fresh perspectives on the mountains. Between Belle Époque and Brutalism, we encounter grand histories and small eccentricities. And the emperor is never too far away. Every so often, a dip in blue water. What beauty this country holds.

A journey from the present back to the days when people set off by carriage in search of the fountain of youth. To places where time seems to stand still as the world turns. And a little something along the way: Kaiserschmarrn with Zwetschgenröster. Servus.

From hairpin bends to quiet backroads, we follow our curiosity and see where the next turn takes us. There’s always a view worth slowing down for, a place worth staying a little longer and something unexpected just around the corner. Welcome to our Austria: a little grandeur, an easy-going charm and plenty of reasons to take the scenic route.
