Holiday apartments and houses in Bad Aussee

Eyes fixed on the calendar, your long-awaited vacation can finally begin. Bags, suitcases, and the most important equipment are packed in the trunk, and your loved ones are along for the journey.

The anticipation builds as you are about to take the first step into your luxurious, lovingly decorated home away from home.

You've read a lot about Bad Aussee in the past few weeks and can’t wait to explore the breathtaking Salzkammergut from your holiday residence. Bad Aussee combines proximity to the surrounding lakes and ski areas with the charm of a small town. Traditional clothing shops, a weekly market, and plenty of events centered around customs and cuisine await you.

The capital of the Salzkammergut

Bad Aussee is well-known. No matter where you come from, choosing Bad Aussee as your holiday retreat will elicit a knowing nod from many.

Bad Aussee is not only associated with the Daffodil Festival or Ausseer gingerbread but is also seen as a starting point for discovering as much of the Salzkammergut as possible. Sport, relaxation, culture, and nature await your exploration.

In the geographical center of Austria, almost everything revolves around traditional clothing. Whether in shops, on the street, or in restaurants, you’ll always be well-dressed in lederhosen or a dirndl.

The well-kept spa park, narrow streets, and small shops characterize the town center.

The laid-back Aussee charm is infectious and significantly contributes to the relaxation factor. After all, you are on vacation and don’t have to rush from one appointment to another.

Don't be surprised if you hear a friendly “Grias enk” while walking down the street or taking a stroll. Friendliness and good manners are highly valued here.

And if you feel like the locals are speaking another language during a conversation, you’re right. But don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of the dialect and will be able to recount your "uboasch haftign" vacation back home, which means "incredibly great."

Excursion destinations in Bad Aussee

• Wondering why Bad Aussee is what it is today? There are two ways to get an answer. Number one: Visit a local pub, sit with the regulars, and let them tell you the history. Number two: Take a detour to the Kammerhof Museum. Either way, you'll learn a lot of interesting facts about the land and its people.
• Stroll through the well-kept and shady spa park with an ice cream in hand, admiring the Mercedes Bridge and the central stone.
• No vacation is complete without gifts for those who couldn’t come along. And what could be better than an edible souvenir that not only tastes delicious but can also be personalized? A gingerbread from the Lebzelterei with a personal dedication will delight both the giver and the receiver.
• To avoid rushing from one highlight to the next, take a break at the Narzissenbad to give your body and mind the necessary rest. Swim in the saltwater pool, enjoy various sauna infusions, or indulge in soothing massages and treatments—time stands still here for a moment.
• Do you know Ferdinand the Bull? Ferdinand was supposed to be a feared opponent in bullfights, but he preferred lying in the meadow and smelling the beautiful flowers. If you feel the same way as Ferdinand, visit the Alpine Garden just outside Bad Aussee and marvel at around 2,000 different plant species.

Favorite restaurants in Bad Aussee

• We are rightly proud of our coffee house culture. Sitting in the popular Caféhaus Lewandofsky in the afternoon with a latte, melange, or a cup of coffee and a homemade pastry, simply enjoying the moment, significantly contributes to the desired relaxation factor.
• Right across the street, you’ll find the restaurant at Hotel Erzherzog Johann. The award-winning chef surprises with creative dishes made from regional ingredients.
• Local top-notch cuisine is offered at Das James on the Bad Aussee golf course. Small dishes in the afternoons or elaborate menus in the evenings, this variety is worth trying.
• But hearty meals are also possible. We love our coffee houses as much as our snack huts. Whether for a small snack in between or as the end of an active day, the Mostschenke Sarsteinrast is a cozy place to stop that you shouldn’t miss.
• A burger is not just a burger. The use of fresh ingredients turns something simple like a burger into a culinary experience. S’Gricht in Bad Aussee offers burgers, cocktails, and a cozy atmosphere.

No matter what interests or goals are important to you on your vacation, there are no limits to variety here. With all the options available, you’ll feel that all your needs can be met. If you still have an extraordinary wish, we will do our best to make it come true.
