With echos of The Sound of Music, grand Imperial Palaces and the legacy of Mozart, Austria is a country of vast diversity. Where the enchanting cities of Salsburg, Vienna and Innsbruck meet the rockfaces of the Emperor Mountains, the gentle ridge of the Kitzbüheler Alps and the patchwork pastures of the Tyrol. Where art, culture and architecture walks hand in hand with fresh air, clear mountain streams and lush meadows. With some campsites open all year, it is a lovely place to visit either when the wild flowers in the meadows are in abundance, or when the winter snowfall creates a beautiful wonderland.
