Hallein Salt Mines
Ride a mine train and take a thrill ride down a miners’ slide – these are just two of the attractions at the Dürrnberg salt mines near Hallein. Narrow shafts, broad galleries and a subterranean lake – a unique adventure, no matter what the weather outside! Open all year round. www.salzwelten.at
 
 
“World of Ice Giants” in Werfen
If you are a natural-born cave explorer, love nature and are always in search of adventure: it’s time to head to the World of Ice Giants! In this impressive ice cave, temperatures hover about the freezing point, even in high summer! Floodlights are only turned on during your tour to light your way through the darkness. This guided expedition takes you as much as 400 metres beneath the surface and 1 km into the heart of the mountain. www.eisriesenwelt.at
 
 
Werfen Castle
Hohenwerfen Adventure Castle – an attraction that even knights of yore would thrill at! The castle offers all kinds of attractions and events, while the historic State Falconer’s stages daily flight demonstrations that provide a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a close-up view of these birds of prey in action. Would-be knights and “ladies of the castle” will also discover just what they’ve been hoping for. www.salzburg-burgen.at
 
 
Grossglockner
Follow the Grossglockner High-Alpine Road up onto Austria’s highest mountain. At an elevation of 3,798 metres, the Grossglockner is one of the country’s most visited attractions. Set in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park, this mountain represents a nature adventure of a very special kind. Marmots, ibex and other wild animals can all be found a little away from the road – it’s always worth taking the time to check them out! www.grossglockner.at
 
 
Kaprun Reservoirs
Water and energy in the high mountains – the guided tour of the dam is an impressive way to learn about clean sources of energy harnessed in the midst of the Hohe Tauern National Park. Take a hike, enjoy the nature, or maybe even take a trip to nearby Zell am See – the opportunities couldn’t be more varied. www.tauerntouristik.at
 
 
Krimml Waterfalls
The fifth-highest waterfalls in the world – in three stages, its waters plunge 380m into the depths below. On the 4 km-long Waterfall Trail, you can enjoy a close-up look at this natural wonder – along the way, easy-to-reach country inns are the perfect spots to enjoy refreshments and a well-earned break. www.wasserfaelle-krimml.at
