Not everybody's boots are made for walking, but no-one need miss the experience of exploring Austria's magical mountains. Scenic gondola rides are a memorable way to get your fill of the landscape and are within easy reach of most Austria vacation rentals. Nowhere is this more true than in Innsbruck, where homes are on the doorstep of 20-minute cable car rides that soar 2,000 meters into the Nordkette. It's possible to ride further into the Karwendel Nature Park, though families often hop off early to enjoy a trip to the Alpine Zoo.
Outdoor time is likely to be on the agenda and being in Austria means you can take your pick of pursuits. Warm summer days in the mountains are perfect for kayaking, horseback riding and scenic drives, while in winter, the backdrop transforms into an idyllic setting for tobogganing, snowboarding and skiing. Should that sound a little too energetic, there's always the option to stick to the Christmas markets and schnapps-tasting events that you'll find in an abundance on lower ground, while all year round, plush wellness centers and spas will leave you feeling on top of the world.
While most of the mountain resorts are geared up for the outdoor pursuits of the summer and winter seasons, choosing an Austria vacation rental in an urban setting offers year-round attractions aplenty. The soaring temperatures that favor the cities during the summer months are ideal for those keen to soak up a little culture, perhaps joining the well-heeled travelers who flock to the Salzburg Festival, a 6-week extravaganza of operas, plays and concerts. During the cooler months, the enthusiasm of the Christmas market aficionados, who fill the streets of Vienna during the holidays, is wonderfully contagious.
Natural wonders are never too far away when you vacation in Austria, but the pace at which you enjoy the country's fantastically-diverse scenes is up to you. If clambering up mountains is not part of your plans, the delights of the Danube offer an easy way to get a look at the country's best bits. River cruises are popular in the region, though there's a lot to be said for road trips and bike rides, where you have the freedom to pause and savor a new-found favorite spot for just a little while longer.
