Austria: Alps to Salzburg
Revel in the awesome beauty of the Austrian Alps
With soaring, snow-capped peaks, thundering waterfalls, glacier-carved gorges and scenic villages, Austria is the perfect playground for the adventurous at heart.
Pedal your way through Mittersill and Zell to a backdrop of 14,000-year-old glacier-carved gorges, azure lakes and towering Alps (plan on several stops, as keeping your eyes on the road is a challenge!). Bike along Lake Zell through quaint villages to the market town of Saalfelden. Catch a ride on a cable car boasting panoramic mountain views to Schmittenhöhe, hike down into the Salzach Valley and – for a true adrenaline rush – opt for a tandem paraglide or an afternoon of glacier skiing.
In Salzburg, ride along the enchanting Salzach River past homes decked in flowers to the Gollinger Waterfall and the Hellbrunn Castle, all the while humming a tune from The Sound of Music as you explore the stunning hills where the film was made.

4. Mirabell Palace and Gardens: Built in 1606, this former palace with magnificent staircases and gardens now houses government offices. The gardens are where the von Trapp children sang "Do-Re-Mi" in The Sound of Music. The Marble Hall, formerly the prince archbishop's banquet hall, is where Mozart's father Leopold and his children Wolfgang and Nannerl once played their instruments.
