SALZBURG & SCHLADMING (21 - 24 June) 

Our press trip in partnership with WizzAir covers both the city of Salzburg and outdoorsy adventures in the Schladming region. 

Highlights in Schladming:

  • Hike along “Wild Waters”: Schladming-Dachstein is often dubbed the “valley of a thousand springs”. There are 300 mountain lakes and 100 waterwalls. We will head on a short hike, passing by some waterfalls and for the adventurous among the group, there might be an option to take a dip in one of the lakes. 
  • Mountain activities: Mountain Go-kart (Hochwurzen) or a short bike ride (on Reiteralm).
  • Visit the “roof of Styria” at the Dachstein mountain. Attractions include the “Stairway to Nothingness”, the Dachstein Sky Walk, the Ice Palace and the Suspension Bridge. 
  • Sample regional delights

Highlights in Salzburg: 

  • A guided tour through the city including some food tasting
  • Attend a classical dinner concert
     

ISCHGL (5 - 7 July)

Experience the legendary winter destination during summertime. Highlights include:

  • E-Biking: Visit the E-bike riding centre and the Silvretta Bike Arena in Ischgl (new this summer)
  • Culinary delights including dinner with the #YoungChefsPaznaun  
  • Check out the Silva Trails Galtür (new this summer)
  • Mountain Hut Festival at the Faulbrunn Hut

AUSTRIA. STORIES. UNTOLD. (9 - 17 September 2024) 

Austria. Stories Untold. is designed for an in-depth exploration of the cultural and natural beauty and fascination of Austria, specifically created for journalists and writers from North America, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia. It goes far beyond the “simple” experience of various Austrian cities and regions in a limited period of time and will make you understand the country on a deeper level.

The press trip starts in St. Anton am Arlberg. The group will then be divided, with journalists heading off to four different destinations (Innsbruck, Ötztal, St. Johann in Tirol and Zell am See - Kaprun) before reuniting in Salzburg. Please let us know what destination you are most interested in.
