Winter Activities:
Bad Ischl and its surrounding area has a lot to offer in winter, even if skiing is not for you. The thermal baths offer a wide range of spa and beauty treatments and are located about 10 minutes walk from the apartments. Bad Ischl has a good variety of restaurants, bars and shops. The Kurhaus concert venue holds regular concerts.
In the surrounding area there are cleared winter walks, toboggan runs and winter sleigh rides. One hour's drive away is the city of Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart and home each summer to the Salzburg Festival. The lakes of St Wolfgang, Fuschl and Bad Ausee are beautiful in winter and make an excellent visit. The cities of Vienna, Graz and Southern Bavaria are all within a few hours’ drive.
Summer holidays:
In the heart of the Salzkammergut, Bad Ischl makes a wonderful summer holiday location. Close to the mountains for walking and cycling, the town has a great deal to offer visitors. The Kurhaus is home to the annual Lehar Festival in August, but has a regular programme of concerts and events throughout the year. A visit to the Kaiservilla gives an insight into the age when Bad Ischl was the summer retreat for the Austrian Royal family.
A short drive away is Lake Wolfgang, a beautiful clear lake which is excellent for swimming and water skiing. For the less energetic there are regular ferries across the lake to St Wolfgang, home of the famous White Horse Inn.
Other places of interest include Hallstatt and the salt mines, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Ice Caves at Obertraunand the picturesque villages of the region.
