Luxury holidays in Lunz am See

In Lower Austria, Lunz am See is a tranquil mountain village framed by forests and modest peaks. In summer, you can swim, fish or boat on the glassy, emerald-hued Lake Lunz, cycle along the Ybbstalradweg, and hike through verdant pastures. Come winter, the slopes at Maiszinken open for downhill skiing and cross-country tracks cut through the snow-covered landscape.

When to go

Lunz am See has a mild climate year-round. For optimum snow conditions, visit in January or February; for lake swims and hiking, July and August offer the warmest weather.

  • Planes

    Linz Airport is a 90-minute drive from the village, and Vienna Airport is two hours away by road — both offer ample car rental options.

  • Trains

    You can take a train from Vienna to nearby Scheibbs with two changes in about two and a half hours, but it’s still a 30-minute drive from there to Lunz am See and taxis are limited.
