CULTURE AND TRADITIONS
Rich in tradition, history, culture and customs, the perfect blend of tradition and modernity has always attracted artists from all over the world. The Salzkammergut has always inspired writers, poets, musicians and painters and provided them with the peace and serenity they needed to create their works. So it is no wonder that many famous artists have found their home here and created some of their most important works. From Franz Lehár to Gustav Mahler and Gustav Klimt to Klaus Maria Brandauer – they have all found inspiration for their artistic work in the stimulating landscape of the Salzkammergut, and have also left their mark here and there.
WINTER IN SALZKAMMERGUT
The Salzkammergut is also worth a visit in winter. Mountains and lakes are transformed into a dream of white. From the bizarre limestone massifs of the Dachstein, Totes Gebirge, Sengsen and Höllengebirge mountains to the idyllic Salzkammergut lakes, the landscape is now dominated by glistening white and gleaming ice. Skiing, cross-country skiing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, ice skating, tobogganing and ski tours – the choice of options is impressive. In addition to the sporting pleasures, guests can also enjoy relaxing oases of well-being, traditional Advent markets and wonderful traditional events.
