Austria's Drinking-Water-Pure Alpine Lakes: Salzkammergut, Lake Zell & Wörthersee

Cruise fjord-like Hallstätter See, ride the 1893 cog railway above Wolfgangsee, and swim in 27°C turquoise Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia.

From Glacial Fjords to Warm Southern Bathing Lakes

Northern Austria's Salzkammergut pairs dramatic limestone cliffs with mirror-still lakes at Hallstätter See, Wolfgangsee, Traunsee, and Attersee. South of the main Alpine ridge in Carinthia, Wörthersee, Millstätter See, and Faaker See glow Caribbean turquoise and warm to 26–27°C each summer.
