Settle into your spacious vehicle and unwind. As the journey heads west toward the Salzkammergut Lake District, your guide will share captivating insights about Austria’s history, while your driver ensures a smooth ride.
Gosau - Begin the adventure away from the crowds! Enjoy the fresh mountain air at the pristine Lake Gosau, renowned for its crystal-clear water reflecting the Dachstein glacier—a true paradise for photography enthusiasts. Take a peaceful, flat walk along the shore to capture perfect mirror-like reflections (the guide is always happy to help take photos of you and your family!). Alternatively, depending on the season, opt for a panoramic cable car ride up to the high mountain pastures at 2,000 meters (~6,500 ft).
(Cable car operates seasonally; optional tickets purchased on the spot at your own expense).
Hallstatt-Dachstein - Salzkammergut Cultural Landscape - Before reaching the main destination, pause for a hearty, traditional Austrian lunch at a cozy local restaurant nestled in the mountains. (Lunch at your own expense).
Hallstatt - Welcome to the “Pearl of Austria”! By arriving in the afternoon, the tour strategically avoids the massive morning tourist crowds, allowing for unobstructed views for your pictures. The guide will personally lead you on an immersive 2-hour exploration through this fairytale village. Discover its charming market square, the famous Bone House, and finally arrive at the ultimate postcard viewpoint. The guide will be with you every step of the way, ready to help capture perfect photos so you can return home with beautiful memories of your trip.
Vienna - After an unforgettable day in the Alps, sit back and relax. Take a nap or enjoy the evening views while your professional driver safely navigates the long journey back, dropping you off right at your hotel door in Vienna.

Perfect holiday - It was a perfect holiday. Especially the entertainers were so super nice and embellished the holiday. Thanks for that. They threw great parties. Also the bartenders at the lobby bar and the waiters at the Mexican restaurant were so great and did everything perfectly. The beach was sooo beautiful. The pools and slides mega. Just a perfect holiday.♥️

Breathtaking Views - This was one of three tours that my 15-year-old son and I took with Cozy Travel while we stayed in Vienna. I scheduled the tours about six months in advance and was in constant contact with Jenny before the tours. Jenny happily answered any questions (which were a lot-LOL) I had over the six months and responded in perfect English. While her husband, Vladimer safely drove us to each location in their comfortable car, Jenny would provide background on the areas that we drove by (and would let us rest when needed!). Jenny also provided her vast expertise during the tours at the actual locations. My son and I felt safe with Jenny and Vlad, in addition to enjoying their expertise and companionship during the tours. While this tour is a long drive from Vienna, it is totally worth it. The scenery headed to Lake Gosau is stunning (we were also able to see Schonbrunn Palace and the Melk Abbey from the road). Jenny was able to tweak the tour a bit because my son and I wanted to ride on the Gosaukammbahn cable car (which just meant a little less time in Hallstatt). I am so glad we were able to take the cable car. The views up the mountain in the cable car are beautiful and even better at the top. We were able to hike a little bit and see some cows, horses and of course the lake from above. Jenny was also very accommodating by taking pictures on each tour (and suffering through me singing the Sound of Music as I twirled in the mountains-LOL). After we came down, we took a short walk around the lake for more breathtaking views. Next was a short drive to beautiful Hallstatt. Jenny explained the history and took us to the spots for the best photos. Hallstatt is as beautiful and charming as the photos indicate! This tour is amazing and surely will be a highlight of a trip to Austria.
