If you spend your summer-fresh active vacation at Boutiquehotel Aichinger, the action starts right outside the hotel door. After all, the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut - from Bad Ischl via Bad Goisern to Hallstatt - and the Attersee-Attergau vacation region are famous for their mountains and peaks.
Mountains such as Höllengebirge, Hochlecken or Schafberg make hikers' hearts beat faster around Lake Attersee - a little further away, mountaineers long to conquer summits with illustrious names such as Dachstein, Traunstein or Krippenstein. But there are also countless other hikes in the region just waiting to be discovered by you. In between, there are challenging climbing tours for experienced mountaineers and fun via ferratas for the whole family.
And if hiking isn't fast enough for you, you can hop on a bike in the Salzkammergut! As a host in the heart of the Upper Austrian Salzkammergut, Boutiquehotel Aichinger am Attersee is an absolute pro when it comes to cycling & biking. Whether it's mountain biking through the mountains, racing or leisure cycling through picturesque landscapes or leisurely cruising on an e-bike - you'll find the most beautiful routes and crispest trails in the region. And the reward after a hike, bike excursion or climbing adventure: a refreshing dip in Lake Attersee, of course - preferably on the hotel's own lake beach.
The Salzkammergut not only has absolute highlights to offer when it comes to nature - the Salzkammergut is also at its best when it comes to culture: whether it's the designation of the once imperial summer resort town of Bad Ischl as the European Capital of Culture 2024 or numerous other cultural delights from the World Heritage town of Hallstatt to the city of Mozart, Salzburg.
Bad Ischl is officially the “European Capital of Culture” in 2024 - but the other towns in the Salzkammergut and Ausseerland are not short of cultural attractions either: the spa and imperial town of Bad Ischl with its museums, parks and cafés, and the picturesque and authentic Bad Goisern with its traditional craft businesses and precious gems offer plenty to see in the inner Salzkammergut. And of course, the towns around Lake Attersee also score highly thanks to a culture dating back thousands of years, famous summer visitors and contemporary events with a wide range of cultural offerings.
A must-do excursion for anyone spending their vacation in the Salzkammergut: The world-famous UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hallstatt! This picturesque place on the western shore of Lake Hallstatt was not recreated 1:1 in China for nothing. And after all, this place, where people lived and mined the “white gold” more than 7,000 years ago, is named after its own historical epoch! A special experience even in bad weather: dive into the depths of the Hallstatt Salt Mine - and experience the oldest salt mine in the world.
The city of Salzburg and the Salzburg Lake District are just a stone's throw from Lake Attersee and always worth a visit. A stroll through Mirabell Gardens and Getreidegasse, a detour with the kids to the Toy Museum or the Hellbrunn trick fountains - there's something for everyone! And if you choose to return via the main road rather than the highway, the lake Fuschl, lake Wolfgang or lake Mondsee invite you to cool off or enjoy a leisurely coffee by the lake along the way.
