Hotels in Traunviertel, Austria
Traunviertel is a region in Upper Austria, nestled in the Salzkammergut lake district, with a continental climate that brings warm summers (around 77°F / 25°C) perfect for swimming in Lake Traunsee, and cold winters (about 30°F / -1°C) ideal for skiing on the Feuerkogel mountain. It's famous for its centuries-old salt mines, the Gmundner ceramics painted with green stripes, and the iconic Traunstein peak that towers over the lake.
