Salzburg, Austria

Salzburg, Austria, Mozart's Geburtshaus, Mozart's BirthplaceSalzburg occupies a valley in the north of the Salzburgerland, just a few km from the border of Germany. Beautifully sited along the Salzach River, the city lies just north of a magnificent stretch of Alps and just south of a region of rolling hills and small lakes. The Salzkammergut lake region stretches to the east. The region was the historical crossroads of several trade routes, and today is well-served by autobahns: the A10 toward Tauern, the A8 to Munich, and the A1 to Vienna converge just south of town.

Zell am See & Kaprun, Austria

Zell am See & Kaprun, Austria, Europa Sports Region, ski resort, summer and winter recreation areaIn the early 1970s, in a stroke of marketing genius, the lakeside health resort of Zell am See paired up with neighboring Kaprun, a glacier ski resort, to create the Europa Sports Region. Together, the pair offers a well-networked infrastructure and sporting opportunities for all seasons. This, then, is the Europa Sports Region, situated in central Austria, at the southern edge of the Salzburgerland region.
