Holiday apartments and houses in Altaussee

Depending on the season and preferences, your suitcase for your holiday will be packed individually. What are hiking boots in summer become ski or cross-country gear in winter. But no matter the time of year you come to Altaussee, you can be sure that these unique and exceptional accommodations will leave no wish unfulfilled.

Despite the wide range of sports activities, Altaussee is not just a holiday destination for athletes. Pleasure seekers can walk around the famous Altaussee Lake or relax while sampling traditional delicacies at one of the rustic huts.

After your first stay, you will agree with us when we say: once is not enough. Anyone who has experienced the Salzkammergut, the Ausseerland, will always want to return.

Attractive in any weather

Given that even Hollywood has taken an interest in this little piece of earth, we assume that we really live in a very special place. But it’s not just Hollywood that has chosen Altaussee as a filming location. Other film productions also take advantage of the beauty of this small town to shoot films and videos here.

When you drive into Altaussee, you will notice that it attracts many visitors in any weather. In other regions or towns, outdoor activities are strictly avoided in the rain, but not in Altaussee. With an umbrella, rain jacket, and good footwear, people still walk around Altaussee Lake, visit coffee houses and restaurants, and shop in the stores, despite the "bad weather."
