LANDING IN HALLSTATT, AUSTRIA
INTRODUCTION
A Fairytale Village by the Lake

Tucked away in the Austrian Alps, Hallstatt is often called one of the most beautiful lakeside towns in the world. Known for its quaint wooden houses, crystal-clear lake, and surrounding mountains, Hallstatt exudes storybook charm.
In October, the village takes on an added allure, with colorful autumn foliage creating a mesmerizing backdrop. Visitors can stroll through the peaceful lanes, take in views from the lakeshore, and marvel at this Alpine gem.
HALLSTÄTTER SEE
A Tranquil Lakeside Retreat

The heart of Hallstatt is Hallstätter See, the serene lake that reflects the surrounding mountains and charming village buildings. Taking a boat ride on the lake is a must for capturing those iconic Hallstatt views, and October’s misty mornings add an atmospheric touch.
For those who prefer a quieter experience, a lakeside walk offers stunning views of the water framed by vibrant fall leaves. Whether on the lake or along its shore, the beauty of Hallstatt’s surroundings is unforgettable.

The Old Town has a tranquil, almost magical atmosphere, heightened in autumn by the vibrant colors and cooler air. Be sure to visit the historic Evangelical Church and enjoy the cozy cafés and shops offering local crafts and delicacies.
