Have time for the holidays! Christmas in Austrian Salzburg
Sparkling white slopes, a Christmas tale in the heart of old Europe. The sound of music and the chime of old cathedral bells. Speed and calmness, adrenaline and complete serenity. All this is possible in one trip if you buy a ticket to the Austrian Salzburg.
If the main thing for you in winter holidays is the possibility of high-quality and varied skiing, then the Ziller Valley is the best choice. 671 km of ski slopes, 178 state-of-the-art lifts and an incredible opportunity to enjoy panoramic views of 67 three-thousanders. By choosing one of the resorts, for example, the largest in the valley - Mayrhofen (65 km from Innsbruck Airport, 170 km from Salzburg ), you get the opportunity to spend time in the mountainsthe way you dreamed. Beginners can find everything they need for skiing in the equipment center. If there is a need to learn the basics of skiing, master the basic rules of behavior on the mountain or put children on skis, then ski schools are at your disposal. There are 25 of them in the Zillertal, and finding a good instructor is not difficult. The ski area near Mayrhofen is the two "main" mountains - Ahorn and Penken. The first is called the "mountain of connoisseurs of life." After several descents and ascents, here you can restore your quickened pulse by cozying up with a glass of mulled wine on the veranda of the restaurant or “h-wite lounge”, cover your legs with a blanket and expose your face to the sun}' to soften the “skier's tan” - white marks from ski goggles. Penken trails - for those who love extreme and varied skiing,
The sooner children start skiing, the faster they will learn the basics of skiing. For the smallest skiers in the Zillertal there are mini-slides. Under the guidance of instructors, in a group of peers, they will have fun and usefully spend time while their parents ride for their own pleasure. There are also numerous guest kindergartens, where children can be left under the supervision of educators for the duration of the skiing. Even if there are very small children in the family, this is not a reason to deny yourself full-fledged skating. You just need to find a "children's" hotel for accommodation, for example, such as the "Almhof" in Gerlos. A four-star hotel specializes in spending holidays with children (the class of a children's hotel, in addition to stars, is also marked with funny emoticons). This is a place where there will be no trouble with the kids: the hotel has 24-hour meals, so that they can live in their usual rhythm, there is a nursery and a kindergarten, a place for “parking” strollers. Babysitters can look after babies from 6 months old, teachers are involved with older children. Theater, children's yoga, swimming, mini slide - there is no time to be bored or capricious.
There are two such hotels in the Zillertal, and there are about 60 of them in Austria.
Combining skiing and getting to know Salzburg and its surroundings is a completely doable task if you choose a hotel in the city. The mountains are nearby, special buses depart daily from the center to the ski areas, free of charge for ski pass holders. But the fabulous atmosphere of Salzburg, which lives in anticipation of the Holiday, is worthy of being immersed in it for several days: measure the relatively small city center with steps, visit the incredibly romantic Mirabell Park, St. view of the city, mountains and even neighboring Bavaria.
Right in the fortress, at the end of November, a Christmas market opens, and the shop windows of the main street of Getreidegasse attract with the splendor of New Year's decorations, souvenirs and sweets.
Salzburg is the city of Mozart. Wolfgang Amadeus also determined its future fate - to become the musical capital of Europe. There are two museums of the composer in the city, a conservatory that bears his name, and the calendar of events includes music festivals and concerts all year round. When planning your trip, be sure to check the music festivals website for the latest news.
From Salzburg, you have the opportunity to go on an exciting excursion "The Sound of Music" - based on the musical "The Sound of Music", which takes place exactly in the vicinity of the city. Thanks to catchy melodies, everyone sings on the tour bus: Japanese, Italians and Russians - what can you do, the power of art!
In the vicinity of Salzburg, there are a lot of places that you should definitely visit so that the treasury of impressions is filled to the top. For example, the most interesting museum of salt mines in the Dürnberg mountain. Salzburg owes its prosperity in the Middle Ages to the extraction of salt - "white gold". Another exhibition complex "Angar-7" of the Red Bull company with a fantastic exposition of aircraft, racing cars and rare cars from the collection of Red Bull founder Dietrich Mateschitz. The famous Ikarus restaurant is also open here, where star chefs from around the world tour.
