8Hallstatt, Austria

The Austrian village of Hallstatt, located on the edge of Hallstatt Lake, becomes a quiet, picturesque escape when snow covers its rooftops and streets. With the Dachstein Mountains in the background, this UNESCO World Heritage site is a fairytale village brought to life in winter. Visitors can take a scenic boat ride on the lake, stroll through the narrow, snow-dusted streets, and ride a funicular up to the Hallstatt Skywalk for stunning views. Hallstatt offers the charm of a historic village with a magical winter touch.
