Winter Adventure at Lake Wolfgang near Salzburg

After breakfast, a shuttle takes you from Strobl up to the Postalm, Austria’s largest connected alpine pasture—a vast winter wonderland. Here, you can choose how to shape your day: glide along freshly prepared cross-country trails, wander peacefully on a snow-covered hiking path, or simply stroll while admiring the panoramic mountain views.

Traditional huts scattered across the area invite you to pause for a warming break with hearty regional dishes. In the late afternoon, the shuttle brings you back to Abersee for a relaxed evening.

The day begins right at the hotel with a winter hike through the scenic Blinklingmoos nature reserve, a protected European habitat along the shores of Lake Wolfgang. The romantic Bürglstein loop trail leads you past frosted trees, frozen bays, and—if the weather is kind—glittering sunshine on snow. Later, your path takes you to St. Wolfgang and the Wellness Alm, where panoramic saunas, quiet relaxation rooms, and mountain views create the perfect retreat after your hike. A day that blends gentle activity with deep relaxation.

After breakfast, take the public bus* to Salzburg, Mozart’s birthplace and one of Europe’s cultural jewels. A hike on the Mönchsberg rewards you with sweeping views of the Old Town, the fortress, and the snowy hillsides around the city. Afterwards, pause at St. Peter Stiftskeller, one of Salzburg’s oldest restaurants, where the famous Salzburger Nockerl is served in its traditional form. Spend the afternoon wandering the historic streets, then return to Abersee after seeing the city glow in its winter lights.

After a final breakfast at Hotel Carossa, your winter escape at Lake Wolfgang gently comes to an end.
