Winter: Skiing or snowboarding, cross country - Four Mountains linked together with lifts. Dachstein glacier the other side of the valley and cross country at Ramsau. Very lively town with plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars. Summer: Lots of different terrain for walking and climbing. Many activities for sightseeing and a good base for touring by car.

Nice place. I would call it City of Classic Music. Nice historical, monumental buildings, well renovated and maintained... I love such. Very impressive transport system. Very safe and peaceful environment where you can put your mind at peace! Boring snobbish people compared to the Neighboring Hungarians (Budapest) but in General, I love Wien!!
