Innsbruck Austria Bucketlist 🚞🪂🇦🇹🥾

Innsbruck Austria Bucketlist 🚞🪂🇦🇹🥾
As a destination for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers, Innsbruck, capital of Austria’s western state of Tyrol, is a city in the Alps that's the fifth-largest city in Austria and has long been a destination for winter sports. In the broad valley between high mountains, the North Chain in the Karwendel Alps (Hafelekarspitze, 2,334 meters or 7,657 feet) to the north and Patscherkofel (2,246 m or 7,369 ft) and Serles (2,718 m or 8,917 ft) to the south. With the surrounding Alps and the Inn River running along a string of colorful, Innsbruck buildings (district of Mariahilf), it is a world-renown city. Our preferred way to get there is to fly ATL-MUC and drive the 2 hours to Innsbruck! The views along the way are worth it! You could spend just a day or two in the city and then explore a couple more days just in nature! There is so much to offer with the quaint city nestled between the river and mountains. Be sure to check out:

Best Time to Visit Austria 🇦🇹 You guys kno

Best Time to Visit Austria 🇦🇹
You guys know Austria is one of our favorite countries and we have gotten DMs about the best time to visit and the differences! All seasons are April to May (spring), June to August (summer), September to October (fall), November to March (winter). High Tourist Season is June to August, Low Season is November to March, and Ski Season is mid–December to March.
Spring
Temperatures are around 48-59F and it feels pleasant and breezy! Rain is less common during the spring, so this is a good time to be outdoors. Enjoy the mountains, picnic near lakes, and discover small towns full of history and heritage. Watch out for a string of public holidays, which can limit sightseeing hours (but can also mean special festivities).
Summer
Temperatures are around 62-72F and it feels sunny during the day and crisp at night! It's the perfect time to take your coat off and go for a beautiful hike! Summer has its advantages: the best weather, snow-free alpine trails, very long days (light until after 21:00), and the busiest schedule of tourist fun. Flocks of tourists head to Austria during this season, so book early to get the best prices.
Autumn
Similar to Spring, temperatures are around 50-59F! Unlike the spring, autumn can bring with it a lot of mist and fog, especially in October. With the spectacular fall colors, you can try cycling tours, hiking, harvest and wine festivals, and boating. If you arrive in early September, you'll get warmer temperatures but without the summer crowds, as everybody is heading back home for school and work.
Winter
Temperatures are around 19-41F and it feels snowy and cold! Get ready for all the winter sports and Christmas/Holiday markets! For winter sports, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling are all popular activities to try! The markets are a nice way to enjoy the cities and have a cozy evening drinking gluhwein by a firepit with friends! Read our previous post for more on winter in Austria!
We like the more extreme seasons for adventure activities so we prefer summer or winter! Which season would be ideal for you!?

Guide to Skiing & Snowboarding in Austria 🏔 Au

Guide to Skiing & Snowboarding in Austria 🏔
Austria is world-renowned for winter sports in the Alps! What we love about winter sports in Austria vs. the US is the cheaper lift prices, delicious Austrian food, HUGE mountains, cozy gasthaus everywhere to stay, and the list goes on forever!
For the full-day main season, the average prices are between €35-80 vs. $90-160 in the US. On top of that, the food and alcohol are typically cheaper than the average US city as well. Austria has so many delicious cultural foods to try like apfelstrudel, Wiener schnitzel, knodel, tafelspitz, kasespastzle, potato gulasch and so many more!
You’ll get such a cozy, winter, cultural feel staying at the local gasthaus.. what we would call a bed and breakfast. They are ALL over Austria and our #1 way we like to stay. This past year, we stayed up with the owners and their friends at NYE and partied all night sharing traditions from all around the world!
It is not necessary to pre-book your lift tickets. We recommend staying in a centrally located spot like Leutasch and chasing the snow for skiing and snowboarding as you watch the weather reports. Typically, the best months to go will be December-March. If you go around Dec/Jan, you might get to visit the Christmas and Winter markets! Check out these spots to ski and snowboard in Austria: Zell am See, Söll, Saalbach, Kitzbühel, Mayrhofen, Obergurgl, St Anton, Alpbach, and Lech-Zürs. At Zugspitze, you can buy a dual lift ticker that goes down the German and Austria sides! By far the coolest to check out is Sölden. It is Aspen of Austria! 007 Spectra was filmed on the mountain tops and many locations to see while visiting! The famous Aqua Dome hotel is close by Sölden!
You’ll be disappointed coming back to Colorado and Utah after you ski or snowboard the Austrian Alps! So set your expectations right! Are you ready to go?!

Hallstatt Austria Bucketlist 🇦🇹 One of the

Hallstatt Austria Bucketlist 🇦🇹
One of the most idealized destinations in Austria & Austrians didn’t ask for it! LOL! Because social media it has blown up, but it’s hard to not WANT to go! It is super touristy, but still worth it! Our tips to get the most out of your trip ⬇️
Activities: This spot is also perfect for hiking, spa, boating, snowboarding/skiing, snowmobiling, & snowshoeing adventures! You choose your Hallstatt vibe! Explore and walk everywhere in the town. There’s so many cute and cozy alleys. One of our fav shots we took near Pension Sarstein - walk south along the green rail. That would be the money shot you are looking for. Other mentions: Skywalk "Welterbeblick", Salzwelten, Dachsteinhöhlen Ice Cave, 5 Fingers Lookout Point.
Parking: Be prepared to train in or park/walk! There is NO tourist traffic allowed in the town so be ready to pay for parking or book a hotel that will pick you up. Our hotel did pick us up from parking with luggage.
Hotel: We stayed at Heritage Hotel Hallstatt! We booked it free with our Chase Sapphire Rewards points! It was right down next to the iconic church, had a beautiful view of the water, delicious breakfast, and a hot sauna. The only negative we found was the hotel restaurant wasn’t rated well.
COVID: Austria is on HIGH alert! The hotel emailed us weeks before letting us know we had to show proof of our 3rd COVID shot. Public transit you are required to wear a N95. So we don’t recommend visiting Austria if you aren’t vaccinated. We drove over the land border of Germany-Austria and didn’t have to show documentation, but likely you would have to show COVID test + booster shot at the airport.
Food: There aren’t many food options in the town with good reviews aka it's mostly a tourist trap. There was a kebab stand outside our hotel, so that was quick and easy. We opted for the small towns outside Hallstatt for more local restaurants like Steeg Wirt, which would also be an amazing place to stay! The local food and beer was ON POINT!

Epic Roadtrip Itinerary in Austria 🇦🇹
We are OBSESSED with Austria every season of the year! Jona used to have family in Austria and grew up learning to snowboard in there! We went together for the first time in 2015 and celebrated Kylie’s 19th birthday in the Austrian mountain tops! The food, culture, local gasthaus with fresh breakfast, adventure activities, and scenery are all so RICH! Many people say it’s just as beautiful as Switzerland, but cheaper! The list of why Austria is incredible goes on forever, so check it out for yourself!!!!
Also, hope you enjoy some of our throwback pics for the sake of the post! 😂
Too see SO much Austria has to offer, check out these locations ideally in this order 🚗⬇️
🇦🇹 Salzburg - Has a beautiful castle on a hill in the middle of the city, surrounded by mountains!
🇦🇹 Hallstatt - Small, lakeside town! It’s commonly talked about being similar to Arendalle from Frozen! Some people say it looks more similar than the Norway town!
🇦🇹 Vienna - Capital of Austria and one of the most visited cities in Europe!
🇦🇹 Graz - Shops and restaurants line the narrow surrounding streets, which blend Renaissance and baroque architecture!
🇦🇹 Spielberg - We love F1, so we couldn’t leave off the Red Bull Racing home track!
🇦🇹Wörthersee - Like the Lake Garda of Italy! The water is SO blue and majestic!
🇦🇹 Badgastein - Spa, natural thermal springs, and ski town built on the mountain-side with a gorgeous waterfall in the middle!

🇦🇹Innsbruck - Great destination for winter sports nestled between the German and Austrian Alps!
🇦🇹/🇩🇪 Zupsitze - The highest mountain in Germany BUT the western Summit runs along the Austria-German border! There’s an Igloo cafe and hotel on it! Very unique!
🇦🇹Sölden - The Aspen of Austria, so you have to bring your skis or snowboard! 007 Spectra was filmed here on the mountain tops and many locations to see while visiting! The famous Aqua Dome hotel is close by Sölden!
