Lake Wolfgangsee – Salzburg, Austria -

‘Von Trapp’ Mansion: Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg, Asutria Who wouldn’t want to relive the moments from the ever so famous musical, “SOUND OF MUSIC”? Few scenes of the ‘VON TRAPP’ family were filmed in the above SCHLOSS LEOPOLDSKRON in Salzburg. The musical was shot on lots of real locations in Salzburg, which can be experienced on day tours from Salzburg. This beautiful river side city boast highly of Baroque Architecture and home to the much famed MOZART.

Experience

Spending 6 days in Salzburg, in the month of December, I thought, was enough. No way, it was the shortest time to capture Salzburg. The highlight of it all was staying at the luxurious “THE SACHER HOTEL”, having the most strategic location and succumbing to the delicious “SACHER TORTE” every single day, sipping the mulled wine in Alstadt, left me yearning for more. Ice covered Salzburg is a beauty that surpasses all bounds. The X-mas markets, salt mines, sound of music tour, dinner at M32 (Monchesberg) made me feel at the ‘Top of the World’ ST. WOLFGANG, INNSBRUCK, can be made into day trips with one of the Mozart Concert as the icing on the cake. Austria has lots more to offer than just Salzburg. Vienna sitting in the east as its capital is a grand historical city to explore as well.

Travel Tips

  • Best time to ski is from December to March and the drive through the Alps on the historical Grossglockner Road is best taken from May to November.
  • The temperatures go down as low as -5 degree C during the winter months be sure to carry enough warm clothing. Spring and summers bring out the best in Austria, when most of the site seeing can be done.

The famous KITZBUHEL and LECH towns offer choicest downhill skiing, making Arlberg the best region for Ski Schools with top instructors. The charming LECH provides for stylish hotels and après-ski fun for young and old. KITZBUHEL is loved for its fashionable and glamorous atmosphere.

  • An important trading route in the middle ages, the Grossglockner Road takes you through some of Austria’s scenic regions in a picturesque drive. The road leads its way from the heart of Hohe Tauern National Park and passing over glaciers, valleys and villages making an unforgettable journey. This 47 mile strip highlighted by Spitze and Kaiser – Franz – Josefs – Hohe, two awesome peaks, is well worth your trip.
  • For the sticklers of luxury, the church where MOZART premiered his Great Mass in 1783, is a thriving restaurant and beer cellar, St. Peter’s Stiftskeller Restaurant, which offers delectable cuisine with impressive interiors. This restaurant is founded in 803 AD and is the oldest in the European Union, still drawing crowds for candlelit dinners whilst the performers sing from MOZART’S operas.
  • The most epic, mouth watering dessert, happens to be the “THE SACHER TORTE” in Salzburg, so all those having a sweet tooth have to dig in this irresistible torte! Invented by the Austrian Franz Sacher, it is a combination of chocolate flavours and Mound of Schlag accompanied with whipped cream. You can get this in Salzburg and Vienna but true to the original is found at “THE SACHER HOTEL”, Salzburg.
