Holidays to St Gilgen bring top-notch restaurants, classic alpine bars and snow-covered slopes – all with a backdrop of massive mountains.
Rustic beauty
St Gilgen sits on the shore of Lake Wolfgang in Austria, a 30-minute drive from bustling Salzburg. It's home to a bevy of old-world buildings, and the landscape transforms from powdery white slopes in winter to wildflower meadows in summer.
Toy town
When it comes to snow-globe towns, St Gilgen's up there with the best of them – think gingerbread house-style buildings arranged around a quaint central square. Grab a hot chocolate from a Tyrolean café before exploring the fairy tale-like streets. Summer's a feast for the senses too – the alpine countryside bursts into bloom, and visitors can dine al fresco on gooey raclette cheese.
Lyrical history
While in St Gilgen, your subconscious might pipe up, 'I've seen this movie before' – and it'd be right. The outdoor scenes from The Sound of Music were shot here. Mozart's family also have their roots in the town – talk about a claim to fame.
