Ski holidays Hallstatt – World Heritage at the Hallstätter Lake!
Hallstatt
Hallstatt lies on the shores of the Hallstätter Lake in the geographical and historic centre of the Salzkammergut region. Houses line the narrow lakefront as well as the mountain slope that rises steeply behind the village's edges. Centuries ago, the village acquired cultural interest through its saline economy and trade. The prehistorical excavations at the Gräberfeld near Hallstatt added to the village's worldwide fame. Due to this cultural and historic heritage, the place was eventually declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The idyllic location by the lakeside, the architectural unique townscape – many houses are listed buildings – as well as the surrounding mountain panorama make this place an appealing destination for every season. The Dachstein massif offers a large selection of attractive ski and ski tour areas for winter sport lovers.Dachstein Salzkammergut
The inner Salzkammergut is a historical and scenic cultural area in the foothills of the Northern Alps, stretching from around the Dachstein massif from Bad Ischl in the North to Bad Mitterndorf in the East. Hence, the entire Salzkammergut lies in the federal states of Upper Austria, Styria and Salzburg, whereas Dachstein lies mainly in Upper Austria.The Dachstein massif is rich in salt, attributing the region an important role as far back as the 14th century. On top of that, some important archaeological findings were made. The unique environment together with the historically important cultural landscape made the area become a UNESCO World Natural and World Cultural Heritage site in 1997. Today, the salt mines and the panorama of the World Natural Heritage region are great tourist attractions, just like the diverse winter sports offers at the Dachstein massif.
