The Salzburg region attracts the whole world in summer, and this is no wonder. The capital city Salzburg, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has much to offer. The Summer Salzburg Festival – the most important theatre, opera and concert event in the world – is a gathering place for first-class artists.
However, Mozart's city also boasts beautiful surroundings. By taking the A1 motorway from Salzburg towards Vienna, in just 30 minutes one finds oneself in the Salzkammergut (Salt Chamber) in the lake district. One of the most beautiful and closest lakes to Salzburg is Fuschlsee – a popular holiday destination.
The region offers a vast selection for an active summer holiday: this includes mountain hiking, easy walks around the lake, cycling excursions, either by electric or normal bike, and water sports. Golfers will be delighted by the choice of 11 perfect golf courses within the immediate vicinity.
Arabella Jagdhof Resort
The resort is located on the shore of this 4km long lake. Its shores are not very built up, motor boats are prohibited and there are magical corners everywhere for undisturbed relaxation.
The resort consists of three parts – a historical hunting lodge with restaurant, bar and bedrooms, the main Gutshaus building with reception, a shop with regional products, event halls and rooms, and the Hüttererhaus building, which houses the wellness and fitness centre.
Fairy-Tale Gastronomy
In the FUXBAU gourmet restaurant, which has been awarded three Gault & Millau chef's hats, Chef Johannes Fuchs conjures up his local and French specialities. Guests can enjoy the best fish in the FISCHEREI harbour restaurant, and the CERVUS hotel restaurant offers traditional Austrian cuisine. The HALALI Bar is ready to provide the perfect ending to an evening, tempting guests with the unusual selection of beverages and Mediterranean dishes. Everywhere, gastronomic experiences are accompanied by the beautiful backdrop of the mountains and lake.
The mountainous region of South Tyrol is famous for the beauty of its snowy Alpine slopes. Despite the harsh climate, locals have come to love this region. If you visit the homestead located high on the hillside and named after the Ibex, you will definitely join them. Hotel Ansitz Steinbock in the village of Villanders will delight with the amazing view of the surroundings, perfect rooms and exceptional cuisine and, above all, with the atmosphere created by the hospitality of owner Elisabeth Rabensteiner.
