What To Expect

This tour differs from other Hallstatt tours firstly in that it is an exclusive private tour for 2 people, with a guide and a driver. Secondly, what makes the tour special is that you approach Hallstatt on the western shore of Lake Hallstatt in the most beautiful way, namely by boat. Before that you travel on the Salzkammergut Railway along the eastern shore of Lake Hallstatt. Thirdly, after a tour of Hallstatt and a visit to the Catholic parish church, this tour includes a three-course meal in one of Hallstatt's best restaurants, with fish from a lake in the Salzkammergut on the menu. After lunch, the Salzberbahn funicular takes you up to the Hallstatt high valley, where you can enjoy the view of Hallstatt, Lake Hallstatt and the mountains from the Skywalk. You then walk across the burial ground, which is the reason why the Early Iron Age from the 8th to 5th century BC is known as the Hallstatt culture, to the miners' house, where a guide will take you into the historic salt mine.
