Experience Hallstatt as a living village, not a crowded postcard.
While most tours rush through the Lake District in the morning, we invite you to a more intentional pace. This private journey is designed for those who seek the soul of a place, choosing the quiet of the late afternoon over the noise of midday crowds.
To ensure you stay fully present, you will be cared for by a dedicated duo: a professional driver for a smooth ride and a personal guide focused entirely on your experience.
Your Journey:
Gmunden: A gentle immersion into aristocratic lakeside history.
Treetop Path: A panoramic walk above the forest canopy to breathe in the alpine air.
Hallstatt at Golden Hour: Arrive as the tour buses depart. Witness the village in its most authentic, peaceful light—perfect for photography.
We handle every detail, leaving you free to simply breathe and connect with the timeless beauty of the Austrian Alps.
Pickup included
Your exclusive journey begins with a pick-up at your hotel or private residence. Meet your dedicated two-person crew: a professional driver to ensure a smooth, safe drive, and your personal expert guide who will look after you all day. Settle into our spacious vehicle (Kia Carens), offering generous legroom and large windows. As we leave Vienna, relax and enjoy the changing landscape as your guide introduces you to the history of the Austrian Lake District.
Welcome to the "Austrian Riviera." Unlike the crowded tourist spots, Gmunden is where the locals and aristocracy escape for tranquility. Your guide will escort you on a relaxing stroll along the elegant lakeside promenade. Learn about the town's history of salt merchants and ceramic art while breathing in the fresh lake air. It is the perfect, peaceful start to your alpine adventure.
Leave the valley behind as we board the cable car up to the Grünberg Mountain (Tickets included). Enjoy a comfortable ride with spectacular aerial views of Lake Traunsee and the majestic Traunstein mountain. Your guide accompanies you, pointing out the key peaks and ensuring you don't miss the best photo angles as you ascend into the heart of nature.
Experience the Alps from a unique perspective. Walk among the treetops on this architectural masterpiece—a wooden path winding through the forest canopy. Your guide will lead you to the 39-meter observation tower, offering a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the Dachstein glacier and the shimmering lakes below. It is a moment of pure serenity and connection with nature, far above the hustle and bustle.
After walking we will have an opportunity to stop for a lunch (not included) with a scenic view.
The drive from Gmunden to Hallstatt is an experience in itself. We travel along the scenic Traun River, passing through the imperial town of Bad Ischl (the summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph). During this hour, your guide will share fascinating stories about the "White Gold" (salt) that made this region fabulously wealthy, preparing you for the history you are about to witness.
We arrive in Hallstatt at the perfect time—the "Golden Hour." As the mass tourism buses depart, the village reveals its true magic. Enjoy a private walking tour with your guide through the historic market square and narrow cobblestone streets. You will have time to visit the famous church, take iconic photos without the crowds, and watch the sunset reflection on the dark lake. This is Hallstatt at its most intimate and atmospheric.
After a day filled with impressions, sit back and relax in the comfort of your private vehicle. Use the spacious interior to stretch your legs or take a nap while your chauffeur drives you safely back to Vienna. We provide a seamless door-to-door service, dropping you off directly at your hotel, a restaurant for dinner, or any other location of your choice in the city.
