What Awaits You
Vienna: Imperial Splendor & Cultural Pulses
Begin in Vienna, a city that breathes elegance. Stay in a grand historic hotel. Taste the legendary Sachertorte in ornate cafés; walk the Ringstraße past monumental facades; spend an evening at the State Opera; visit the Spanish Riding School for exclusive access and witness precision, horses, heritage. Vienna’s arts, architecture and music will stir your senses.
Salzburg & Dolomite-Backed Villages
Next, move into the Salzburg region — Mozart’s birthplace. Lose yourself in old town cobblestones, baroque churches, the fortress perched above. Explore nearby alpine villages with mountain views, hidden trails, and pastoral peace. Let the wildness of woods and cliffs contrast beautifully with the cultured calm of city life.
Alpine Lakes & Fairytale Villages
Then head toward Austria’s lake district: Lake Fuschl, Wolfgangsee and nearby gems. Picture idyllic towns by mirrored lakes, your lodge in a lakeside castle or mountain chalet. Private cruises, gourmet picnics, canoeing, or simply sitting at water’s edge with silence and reflection. Each lake is a world unto itself.
Peaks, Ice Caves & Alpine Trails
Your journey continues into the high Alps. Trek in Hochkönig with panoramic summits, visit the Eisriesenwelt ice caves near Werfen, enjoy alpine rooftops and the contrast of snow / glacier ice and summer skies. Traverse trails, breathe rarefied air, feel the scale.
Lakeside Castle Grand Finale
Cap it all off at Schloss Fuschl — a lakeside castle escape. Arrival by chauffeured car, views of blue water and mountain silhouettes, private dinner in castle gardens, cruise across the lake at dusk. A majestic end to a classic adventure.

Why This Austria Adventure Stays with You
Because Austria is a place where grandeur feels grounded, where the echo of a Mozart melody still gives you chills, and the calm of a lake mirrored by mountains gives perspective. You’ll return having tasted elegance, seen landscapes that feel both timeless and alive, and carried scenes in your mind: horseyards at dawn, rooftops under golden light, peaks above clouds. EscapeXperts creates journeys that don’t just fill your camera—they expand your heart.
