The Salzkammergut region of North West Austria is widely acknowledged as one of the most beautiful in this country of lovely landscapes. This district boasts 76 lakes, majestic mountains that rise some 6,500 feet and forest clad hillsides. In winter, of course, covered by its blanket of snow, the region takes on a new magic. There is a fairytale quality to your surroundings, not only in the landscape but in the towns and villages too, when a cushion of snow rests on the roof of every chalet style house and icicles cling to the eaves.
