Some adventure tours to Austria, like those walking or cycling around the lakes, are typically best suited to the spring and summer months. Our winter snow holidays are, of course, most enjoyable during January, February and March, when you can take advantage of the best snow.

What to wear will depend on the type of activity holiday in Austria you choose. If you're heading on a walking tour, then we recommend wearing a pair of sturdy boots that give your feet the support they need.

In terms of clothing, consider the weather and the time of year you're visiting. Will it be warm and sunny? Then breathable, lightweight clothing may be best. You should bring a sunhat with you as well as sun cream. If you're heading to the slopes in the winter, plenty of thick, warm layers are essential – as well as a waterproof coat!

If you're planning to explore by bike, then we advise wearing appropriate footwear and clothing such as padded cycling shorts. We also strongly recommend you wear a helmet throughout your trip. They are mandatory in Austria for children under the age of 12, so bear that in mind if you're planning a family trip!
