WHAT TO DO IN SUMMER Summertime in the Salzkammergut is amazing. Blue skies, crystal clear warm lakes, mountains shrouded in vibrant green forests and of course the beautiful alpine meadows bejewelled with wildflowers. The possibilities for the perfect holiday are endless, whether you are an outdoor adventurer, a culture-vulture or simply wanting to relax and unwind. A small selection of the many activities available and places to visit are shown below, but please ask us if you have a particular interest and we will do our best to help you. Walking Alpine Meadows is the ideal base for a walking holiday in the Salzkammergut, There are many excellent scenic walks of varying lengths within and around Bad Ischl, which are well signposted, Alpine meadows lies directly on one 10km circular route, so you can literally start on your doorstep. Mountain biking There are lots of well marked mountain bike trails locally ranging from easy to very demanding. It is possible to hire mountain bikes locally. If you would like us to enquire about this for you please ask. Swimming There is a super outdoor swim- park in the Centre of Bad Ischl and the Eurothermen Resort thermal baths are a "must-do" part of any holiday in Bad Ischl. Completely refurbished in 2007 the thermal baths offer swimming, a spa pool heated to 33 degrees centigrade, saunas, steam baths and a wide range of therapies to help you relax and unwind. If you enjoy swimming in the great outdoors, there are many lakes nearby which have sunbathing and swimming beaches, many of which are free to use and other which charge a small entrance fee. Alpine Ambling If a more gentle approach to walking is your style, there are lots of walks we can recommend that can be covered with relative ease, with possible stops at local "hütten" or cafes to enjoy one of the refreshing local beers, a lunch or Kaffee and Kuchen, while taking in the amazing views. A recent guest gave this the name "Alpine ambling" and we liked the idea so much we decided to adopt it! Watersports There is a wide range of water sports on offer within easy driving distance of Alpine Meadows. Lakes Wolfgangsee and Traunsee for example have boat hire, wake boarding, water skiing, scuba diving etc available Cruises If you prefer more gentle water-borne pursuits then why not have a gentle cruise on Wolfgangsee.
