Summer in Austria: Feel the 'Lebensgefühl' 

Think Austria is just for winter and skiing? Well, you couldn’t be more wrong! The picturesque mountains, stunning landscapes, and cheerful people don’t just disappear once the snow melts. When the cold of winter is gone, Austria transforms into an idyllic summer paradise replete with alpine lakes, rolling green hills, and almost limitless possibilities for outdoor activities. And yes, there are the lederhosen, the dirndls and the schnitzel feasts, but you'll be surprised about how much more there is to discover!

In the summertime, the Austrian “Lebensgefühl” truly comes to life through the spirit of the locals, their lifestyle, and their reverence for the natural world. It's a celebration of life, a deep appreciation for the moment, and a great sense of joy that we invite you to embrace - and take back home.

Conquer a mountain or take a dip in a lake before indulging in local delights at the closest mountain hut. Or how about chilling at a city beach after checking out the latest exhibition? Austria is the freedom of an open-air festival and the cosiness of a wine tavern. It's a place where nature gets under your skin, but also one where cultural experiences, foodie hotspots and museums await at almost every corner.

Get ready to be enchanted by Austria and the Austrians this summer - we invite you to experience our "Lebensgefühl" first-hand!
