Altaussee always has been a meeting point for creative people - painters, writers, musicians. You´re well advised to follow their example.

The landscape presents itself either with bright limestone summits, forests, blossoming meadows, or with wide, snow-covered areas. The lake´s water is either clear and blue, perfect for swimming in summer, or ice-covered in winter, offering a feast for the eye: views from the sunbathing lawn across the lake, into the Salzkammergut area, to the Dachstein glacier, from the Pflindsberg castle ruins to the town itself. Especially the view from the sunny Loser ski mountain of the Ausseerland region is famous, ranging from the Dachstein summit to the far summit of the Großvenediger mountain.

Altaussee tastes good: fresh, smoked char is a culinary delight. Altaussee is good for all your senses: the beautiful traditional costumes are part of daily life, and so is traditional music. The thorn-house spoils your respiratory tract with salt-water and fir brushwood. Swimming, hiking, skiing, cross-country skiing, enjoying, celebrating, feeling at home: all that is Altaussee.
