The silence of winter whispers its stories most clearly in Tauplitz, where snow settles softly over roofs and mountains shimmer in crisp light. Here, in the heart of the Ausseerland, the season reveals its gentle side—calm, bright, and deeply restorative.

Your days reveal in rhythm with the landscape: a chairlift takes you to the Tauplitzalm plateau, where panoramic trails invite slow steps and alpine huts offer warmth. Horse-drawn sleighs glide through forests like scenes from an old tale, while cross-country trails carve elegant lines across the valley. In Bad Aussee, a winter hike leads you through sparkling fields before the thermal spa welcomes you with steaming pools and mountain views.

Comfort is woven into the journey: four nights in a cozy 3* superior hotel, half-board included, and every highlight arranged with ease. You travel light, with time to savor each experience fully. Join us and step into this world of snowy stillness and let Tauplitz show you how beautiful winter can be!
