Fabulous scenery and a choice of activities including walking or cycling
Arrive at your hotel in Strobl where your rep will go through suggestions for your action-packed week. Then, why not cycle down to the lakeside (5 mins) before dinner back at the hotel?
It's a very gentle start to the week, heading first by the river then along the north shore of the lake to St Wolfgang. Renowned for its beautiful 15th century church, this famously pretty village boasts a maze of cobbled streets lined with attractive frescoed houses, shops and cafe terraces affording superb lake views. Culture and music are very much part of St Wolfgang's fine tradition, so be sure to explore the boutique craft and chocolate shops! After lunch, hop on the antique cog railway as it chugs up to the summit of Schafberg (1782m) for unrivalled Alpine views.

Keeping close to Lake Wolfgang's southern shore, a level cycling track through a tiny nature reserve brings you into lovely St Gilgen where the busy waterfront is filled with restaurants, cafes and attractive frescoed houses. Visit Mozart's museum (his mother was born here), or take the cable car up Zwolferhorn for stunning 360 degree views. Alternatively, try your hand at water skiing on Lake Wolfgang, have a cooling swim by the beach then, perhaps, enjoy an afternoon of pampering at the hotel's elegant spa.

Visit the spa town of Bad Ischl today where the late Emperor Franz Josef was born - make sure you visit his Kaiservilla where the spirit of the monarchy remains strong. There are lots of restaurants for lunch and, in the afternoon, why not visit the imperial hot spa that comprises salt baths, a 30- 32 degree outdoor swimming pool, Alhambra baths, steam room, hammam and oriental gardens? Return to Strobl along the banks of the River Ischl, passing tiny shrines hidden below the Leonsberg and Bleckwand peaks.

Why not give yourself a break from cycling today and take the local bus (80 mins) to Mozart's fairytale city of Salzburg? Described as a Baroque jewel, and recognised by UNESCO, its idyllic setting, surrounded by the Alps and bisected by the gentle Salzach river, cannot be bettered by any other city in Europe. Take time to explore its historic heart and you'll find a wealth of Baroque palaces, Renaissance gardens, elegant Viennese cafes and the oldest open-air theatre in Europe.
Today's cycling route takes you along quiet country lanes and through rural farming hamlets bordered by low Alpine meadows - look out for the neat woodpiles to be used for heating over the winter months. Lunch at the popular Zur Wacht restaurant then ascend up to beautiful Lake Nussen, a hidden gem completely off the tourist trail; look out for rare orchids scattered around its shady shores. There's lots of time to swim and relax before completing a circular loop back to Strobl.

You have a choice of walking or cycling routes today across the valley and up through the forest towards Lake Schwarzen, perfectly positioned beneath the shadows of the Vormauerstein, Hoheneck and Breitenberg peaks. Have lunch in one of the restaurants basking in sunshine beneath the snow-capped mountains, then it's a delightful valley descent back to Strobl.

All continental breakfasts and evening meals included.
Austria is renowned for its wholesome, robust food and you will be thankful
for this after a hard day’s skiing. Typically, you will be set up for the
day by a breakfast of cold meats and cheeses, along with the traditional
bread, jam and coffee. Austrians tend to eat heartily at lunchtime and less
in the evenings; you will be well catered for at dinner. Local specialities
include Wiener schnitzel (breaded veal cutlet) and various stews of beef and
pork. Dumplings, potatoes or noodles are all regular accompaniments along
with vegetables in a style similar to English cooking. Desserts are often
fruit based - such as Apfelstrudel - or cream pastries. Rehrucken is a
traditional chocolate and almond cream cake On average Austrians, drink twice
as much coffee as beer. There are many different types to choose from,
particularly in the larger towns and cities and are often drunk in specialist
coffee houses, known locally as a Kaffeehaus. It is often served in large
cups and finished off with a healthy dose of whipped cream.
Austrian wines tend to be sweet white varieties, similar to German Mosel
wines. The three best-known areas for producing white wines are Krems,
Klosterneuburg and Gumpoldskirchen. The main red wine producing area is
Voslau. Of course Austria is better known for its beer and you will find a
wide variety of local brews. The best known are Gösser and Augustiner Brau
and come in light or dark forms.

A full range of watersports can be booked and paid for locally, with tuition
available for beginners. Alternatively, perhaps take a trip on one of the
many hop on, hop off lake cruisers and soak up the views from the water.
There's also a natural wide beach for sunbathing. Take time to visit Mozart's
magical city of Salzburg: stroll through the Mirabell Gardens, lunch in an
atmospheric cobbled square, then take the funicular to Hohensalzburg Fortress
for the most amazing city views.
