Cheap ski holidays Bad Goisern - Ski enjoyment, relaxation and culture!
The holiday region of Salzkammergut lies at the northern edge of the Alps in Upper Austria, directly on the border of Styria and near the city of Salzburg. The region stretches from Lake Wolfgang over the Alm valley and the Dachstein Glacier through to the town of Salzburg's eastern edge. Due to the superb location at the foothills to the Alps and at the edge of the northern Limestone Alps, the landscape harbours 76 smaller and larger lakes, such as Lake Wolfgang, Moon Lake, Lake Atter and the Lake Traun. Countless mountains, including the Dachstein, Traunstein and the Höllengebirge, form a magical panorama. Numerous cave systems have formed here, and the longest cave in Austria, the Hirlatz cave, can be viewed at the Dachstein Glacier. Not only nature lovers and those seeking relaxation get their moneys worth in the Salzkammergut region, but winter sports fans do too: the mountains, usually not too high, are covered in forest right up to the peaks and have a diverse range of pistes. Families in particular are well taken care of in the 20 different ski areas. The prosperity due to the salt made the region affluent, shown by lovely villas and castles in the towns and villages. Even as far back as the turn of the century, the expression "Sommerfrische" (literally "summer freshness") was used by aristocrats and city people to describe the Salzkammergut as a popular holiday and recreational area. This "freshness" has been retained by the Salzkammergut right up until today. Relaxation, cultural experiences and a diverse range of sports make it completely unique.
