Ten lakes in ten days

10 Days / 9 Nights
Mountain Hiking
View of Lake Mondsee from Almkogel

Every day a new, cool lake? With Ten Lakes Trekking in the Austrian Salzkammergut every day you can refresh your feet in a new lake. The trekking tour from Eurohike takes you from west to east, from the charming Fuschlsee to Bad Aussee. The ten-day hiking tour takes you to the border between Salzburg and Upper Austria and to perhaps the most beautiful parts of the region. Alongside the hiking fun you can spend an hour or two enjoying the varied cuisine. For example, the pastries in the Imperial town of Bad Ischl. While hiking in the mountains without luggage in the World Heritage region of Dachstein-West, you can also enjoy magnificent views of the lake district.

The lakes in the Salzkammergut are at times vast and imposing and at times hidden and tranquil. From the world-famous Halstättersee to the small, quaint Gosausee they are all surrounded by mountains: embark on a trekking holiday with Eurohike in one of Austria's most impressive natural landscapes. A short detour leads to the lovely Ausseerland and through the wild and romantic Koppental.

  • 10 lakes of the Salzkammergut: Fiblingsee, Fuschlsee, Mondsee, Irrsee, Attersee, Wolfgangsee, Schwarzensee, Nussensee, Hallstättersee, Gosausee
  • World Heritage site of Hallstatt: There’s hardly a lake panorama that is so well-known as that of the World Heritage Site of Hallstatt. Let yourself be mesmerised by its charm!
  • Close to nature in Ausseerland: On the hiking tour through the Ausseerland you will feel as though time has stood still, the nature is so well preserved.
  • Historic Bad Ischl: In the Imperial town you can still experience the charm of Sissi and Franz.

Your trekking adventure in the Salzkammergut begins in Fuschl am See with your arrival. Tip: Treat yourself to a slice of cake by the lake – in Restaurant Brunnwirt or the Seewinkel for example. The next ten days are all about the sparkling lakes of Salzburg and Upper Austria. But also the mountains! The daily tours are between 12 and 22 kilometres long and also take you over mountain peaks. So you can fully enjoy the tour, a good basic level of fitness is an advantage. Eurohike's personal service also includes detailed travel documents and maps!
