Austria is rich in culture and there's so many ways to immerse yourself in their history - Below are pictures of a variety of our favourite day trips we can help you check out for yourselves or put in contact with official tour companies.

Sigmund Thunn Gorge

Gross Glockner

The Gross Glockner excursion is a sight seeing extravaganza! If you enjoy fantastic scenery, then this trip is essential.

The trip takes you through the fifth largest national park in the world - The Hohe Tauern National park. The famous high Alpine road which leads to Austria's highest mountain (3798m) has had over 50 million visitors since 1935, has more than 30 hairpins and travels through five different climates.

The Apline road is an amazing route which takes you up to the glacial 'tongue'. Guided coach tours up to the glacier are available to book in resort

Werfen Castle

This day trip is Jamie's personal favourite - Built in the 11th Century, this medieval castle has a fascinating history. Originally a taxes and tolls office, it grew to it current size through many transformations. The Castle has been plagued by war, fire and has been rebuilt three times!!!

The castle has featured in several films, including the well known 'Where eagles dare'. The day includes a guided English speaking tour around the castle grounds, a visit to the bell tower, torture chambers, weapons exhibition, fully restored bed chamber, and birds of prey museum. The ground keepers host various shows and games to join in throughout the day. A birds of prey and falconry display takes place daily at 3pm in the castle gardens. This is NOT TO BE MISSED! 

Krimml Waterfalls

Krimml Waterfalls is without a doubt one of most spectacular tourist attractions to visit in Austria. Located withing the Hohe Tauern National park and roughly an hour away, you arrive at the foot of the falls which is an amasing sight. However, the real sights are to be seen as you head up along the side of the falls themselves.

There are three stages to the waterfalls, each of them having over a 100 metre drop. A walking path that takes you to various viewing platforms so you can look up or down the falls. If you dont fancy the walk, you can also take a taxi to the top!

Salzburg City

The beautiful City of Salzburg is loacted roughly asn hour an a half away from Kaprun / Zell am See. Is is easily accessable by train from Zell am See and a short 10 minute walk from the station see's you into the historic 'old town'. Clean, cobbled streets, stunning shops and of course, plenty of Cafes, coffee shops and places to eat. The famous 'Geitreidegasse' is very popular for shopping.

Tourists pay particular attention to numerous locations around the City . Salzburg is, of course, the birthplace and home to Wolfgang Motzart, arguably Austria's most historical person. There are numerous locations dotted around the City where Wolgang was born, schooled & lived. There are many buildings where you can pay an entrance fee and see how he lived.

You can of course choose to make the most of your day and take a traditional horse and cart ride. Tours range from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
