Wolfgangsee buying snow

Yet another charming Austrian town located on the banks of Lake Wolfgangsee, I visited St Wolfgang in the winter when it was draped in soft white crispy snow. Getting to St Wolfgang from Salzburg is easy by road or by public transportation. Board the bus from Salzburg Hauptbahnhof main train station to Bad Ischl and get down at St Gilgen, which is hardly 45 minutes away from Salzburg. From here, you can board a ferry which takes about 45 minutes on Wolfgangsee Lake, with gorgeous views of the lakeside villages and towns, before arriving at the pier at St Wolfgang. Alternatively, you can take a bus all the way to St Wolfgang. However, St Gilgen is also a lovely little town where you can spend a couple of hours before you move on to St Wolfgang and thus, I recommend that you stop over at St Gilgen and then sail on the romantic lake, a unique experience as compared to taking the bus directly. Click here to book your car. During the summer months, this scenic lakeside town is popular with visitors from Salzburg looking to enjoy some watersports on the lake, in a quieter and remote environment. This idyllic town is a hidden gem of Austria's countryside and is also closely connected to Mozart and his family. In the winter, visitors come to St Gilgen for its famous ski slopes, from one of the most beautiful peaks of the Salzkammergut region. There is also a cute Christmas Market here during the winter months November - December which is quite popular. While you're in St Gilgen, whether you're a skiing enthusiast or not, do take the cable car to Zwolferhorn cable car station is a 2-minute walk from the bus drop off for amazing views of the sleepy town and the lake and also for the views once you get up to the mountaintop. A lovely restaurant offering superb views is located at the top, where you can enjoy the Gluhwein in the crispy cold winter months. There was a blizzard on the day I visited which did not spoil the experience at all. In fact, despite the immense snow and fog, the place was gorgeous! View of St Gilgen from Zwolferhorn cable car. Visiting Vienna? Read about what to do in Vienna in winter. From St Gilgen, you can board the ferry to St Wolfgang and sail over the romantic deep blue lake, as you watch adorable little lakeside towns of Austria go by. The ferry has a bar on board where you can buy your drinks in the winter, you will get Gluhwein and a souvenir mug to take with you, free of charge. Do keep an eye out for the timings of the ferry to and from St Wolfgang. Once you arrive at the pier at St Wolfgang, you can walk through this picturesque town towards the town centre where you will find several cafes, restaurants and a very charming Christmas Market in the winter, right by the lake. The smell of baked apple is extremely enticing and the market extends from the centre of the town until the banks of the lake. Bonfires are lit at several junctions to keep yourself warm during the chilly months and these add to the romanticism of the little town. Colorful houses, cobbled stone streets, horse carriages, narrow streets and a laid-back vibe - this is what you can expect from this delightful little town. A great way to enjoy some peace away from the hustle and bustle of a busy city, St Wolfgang from Salzburg makes for a great day trip for people looking to get an authentic Austrian countryside experience. Tip: A lovely restaurant, SeeRestaurant at White Horse Inn , located right on the lake, with large glass windows offering views of the mountains beyond, is a great place to enjoy an authentic Austrian Schnitzel and Apple Strudel. If you're lucky, you will be able to catch a brilliant lake sunset here. Optional: Hiking enthusiasts can take the 3-hour hike to Schafberg mountain. If you are in Austria, you must also visit Hallstatt! Read here about my experience of travelling to Hallstatt from Salzburg. I really loved the detailed description of such a winter wonderland. I live in Munich and your blog compelled me to plan a trip to Wolfgang soon. Can I get your email address, I have some questions before planning the trip. I am planning to visit Salzburg in October for 2 days. Have already planned for Hallstat for one day. But looking between Zell am See and Wolfgansee for one day. Could you help me which one would be better option Zell am See or Wolfgang See. However, from what I know, Zell Am See is better connected by train whereas Wolfgang has to be reached by bus or ferry I recommend the ferry ride from St Gilgen because its scenic and St Gilgen is a nice little town to explore as well. I absolutely loved the cablecar ride to the top of the mountain from St Gilgen so you can add that experience in your list if you plan to go to St Wolfgang. Many Thanks Medha but would only be going to St Wolfgang as cog railway train is not going through the top, it is only going through the second station. So Zell am See seems to be good option now. Hi I am going to Salzburg in December post Christmas. I was planning for hallstat on 27th. Now seeing your pictures am so in love with Wolfgang. Please suggest how I should plan. Can Hallstat and Wolfgang and St Gilgen be done in one full day?? Hi Priyansha, if you rent a car and drive instead of taking public transportation, it is possible. The drive from Salzburg to St Gilgen is about 30 min and St Wolfgang is another 20 min ahead by road. Hallstatt is less than an hour ahead of St Wolfgang. Will it be encounter a lot of snow? There was quite a bit! Do you think both scenery similar? Wolfgang looks so pretty in the winter! Had never heard of St Wolfgang before but it looks so beautiful. The ferry ride from St Gilgen to St Wolfgang is a must-do. I will be travelling in Feb. Is ferry operational during that season? If not, is it recommended to take a public bus to cover Wolfgang as well along with Gilgen? Which one of the two should I prioritize? I am pretty sure the ferry will be operational in Feb, I was there in December and there was a LOT of snow at the time, yet the ferry was operational. I would definitely recommend the ferry over bus. The landscape looks so different in winters. We always travel during autumn season so this time of the year is unfamiliar for us. I would love to visit St. Wolfgang, even if its during winters. This was my first winter trip too, and I went especially for the Christmas markets and the snow-laden landscapes. It was totally worth it! Wow that looks so cold! But so beautiful, and very picturesque over the lake. Great tips about the SeeRestaurant at sunset, that view is stunning! Yet another Austrian destination I have to visit in winter! Thanks for the pictures and detailed guide. Maybe this winter? This place looks so picturesque especially during winter time. Austria is full of such beautiful Alpine towns. So beautiful. As much as I hate the cold, European villages in winter have such a magical quality. I bet the Christmas Market is wonderful too. Your photos are really pretty and show the beauty so well. Austria is high up on my bucket list, and I am planning to include it in my Europe trip next summer which is absolutely exciting! I doubt I will be able to tolerate the cold, as the lowest temperatures in my country are the lows. Spectacular scenery as expected, and definitely a great day trip out from Salzburg, the epitome of classical music and our favourite Mozart! St Wolfgang does look magical under all the snow. And the hint of blue skies made everything seems prettier. But what did you do during the blizzard? Did you get stuck in St Gilgen? The cable cars were still operating, thankfully. It looks fantastic and I think the experience would be more different than those in Paris. You are so lucky to experience it! As always, beautiful photos Medha, and a great read. Haha I get it, for those who live in cold countries, spring and summer are what they crave for. We should definitely travel more during Winter. Snow gives a touch of magic to every landscape. Those colorful houses and cobbled stone streets definitely look straight out of a fairytale! St Wolfgang — what a wonderful place you visited. We did a day trip from Salzburg to Hallstatt. I liked the description of the old towns — Colorful houses, cobbled stone streets, horse carriages, narrow streets — almost felt like I was seeing them. Only the smell of baked apples was missing. I did Salzburg and Innsbruck but could not go through St. But this city looks very beautiful when covered with snow. I would love to take ferry and go around for having view of stunning Austrian landscape. It is good they serve hot drinks in ferry. Sunset at Wolfgangsee looks splendid. Going through Christmas markets must be fun and joyful. Absolutely Yukti. This looks like the cutest and coziest little Alpine town! Great option for next time I go. The holidays look like a great time to visit. Wolfgang is officially on my bucket list, especially taking the cable car all the way up for that beautiful and snowy view. Your photos of St. Wolfgang are dream-like. You wore great colors to add spice. I will be in this area in October. I hope I will see the same scenes. Austria is on my bucket list but I had never heard of these cities! It looks so dreamy! I thought I wanted to visit Austria in the summer, but might have to make a second trip in the winter to see it like this! Even though I live in Switzerland with similar landscape I cant get enought of it. St Wolfgang is beautiful I can imagine the smell of the baked apple at the christmas market and I get like a child again filled with christmas spirit! Or I could aswell imagine St. Wolfgang on the summer that must be equally as beautiful! Everything about Austria was amazing! We always love places iced with snow and this one for sure is exceptionally beautiful. The clouds on the mountains are adding extra colors to it. Your pictures are gorgeous. Would love to visit St. Wolfgang fro sure. Adding it to our bucket list. I want to go just for that reason. But the shots of St Gilgen Town are just so cozy. I need to add it to my to go to list. A winter wonderland. I would love to see it this time of year. It was so beautiful in June, so lush and green. We actually went there on my birthday which was such a memorable day! I can imagine it must be lush and green in the summer, it was so beautifully covered in a blanket of snow in the winter! Wolfgang seems picture perfect. Like you described, it might be sleepy but it sure gives out a mushy and romantic vibe. I am not sure if I would want to keep this for a day trip. I might just want to spend more time here. Beautifully covered, Medha. St Wolfgang is so lovely in winter. Your photos look straight out of postcards. My favourite is that of Wolfgangsee Lake with the three swans neatly lined up as if engaged in a synchronised competition. Such gorgeous photography and what a charming little city. I love beautiful winter getaways and St. Wolfgang looks like the perfect place. Are there any local food specialties for the winter time? Great read. What a beautiful little town. I really love the European Christmas Markets. They really tell a lot about the area, with their tiny shops, local trinkets and the fun shopkeepers. The sunset over the lake is so pretty. I actually loved the Christmas Markets in smaller towns and villages such as St Wolfgang more than the Christmas Markets in big cities like Vienna. St Wolfgang is a great place to add in my list for next Christmas. Especially when you said about the smell of baked apple, I was totally sold! It is great to find a destination combining picturesque cobblestone streets, lots of snow and these beautiful lake views. We were in Salzburg in September last year. The place looks spectacular in Winter especially the view of village from the top. It looks really beautiful in the snow. We were there in the summer quite a few years ago as my brother married a girl from St Gilgen, after the wedding in the church we travelled across the lake to the White Horse Inn at St Wolfgang. How beautiful! St Wolfgang is another one, the white snow makes it superbly pretty. And I love cable cars, so great trip to do that even if you are not skiing. Loving your photos of Wolfgagnsee Lake! I looks really cold there, but the pictures turned out great with the snow in them. Inside in the warm looking out on that beautiful view, while eating authentic Strudel! St Wolfgang looks quintessential Austrian to me. That is a winter paradise. Reminds me a lot of the country I live — Finland. Would love to take a ski trip there. This post really makes me thing of Christmas. I love your words with soft white crispy snow and the pictures of the cable car and lake with swan views. We are still contemplating going to Germany for Christmas markets for scenes just like this, fog and all. In fact, without a little frosting of fog, we might be a bit disappointed. I love this part of Austria and great suggestion to take the ferry. The town of St. These snow-covered towns are really beautiful. Another thing that allures me to Austria is the charm of the buildings. Man, there are so many great places to see in Austria! St Wolfgang looks so cute! I have been to Salzburg a couple of times and I could revisit it again and again. But I have never heard of St Wolfgang before. I am putting it now on the itinerary for my next Austrian trip. I love Austrian small towns , lakes, the Alps, Austrain countryside! They are so quaint and charming, especially in the snow. Austria just seems like a magical fairytale country in your photos. I would definitely want to go and experience the Christmas markets here. I am sure there are many more such quaint towns in Austria that I did not get a chance to visit. St Gilgen, St Wolfgang and Hallstatt were some of my favourites. I hope to return one day, maybe in summer this time. Gorgeous pictures! The ferry ride sounds amazing too. This looks absolutely beautiful! I was in Salzburg a few years back, wish I had known about St Wolfgang then. Austria is one of those destinations that I am sure would be equally charming in the summer, as in winter! There are some really nice Ski resorts in Austria. These look like some lovely places to spend time. Last time we were in Salzburg and we only had a day to tour. I promised myself that I was going back to other parts and this gave me more reason to do so. Those views are excellent. The lake looks absolutely stunning. Would love to go for a ferry trip around there. St Wolfgang looks like a super cute place to visit as well. Wow, that sunset at Wolfgangsee Lake is mesmerising! So nice to see photos of the snowy landscape there, and I would take that cable car to get a better view of the whole scene. Your photos are magical, Medha. We visited Austria last year and while Hallstatt was on the itinerary, we could not make it to St Wolfgang. All the more reason to go back to Austria. And now your photos have only made the urge stronger! I have a thing for winter landscapes, and these are just amazing winter wonderlands. On another note I wish I had read your blog before going to Austria. Hi Medha. Your photos are amazing. I am planning to visit St Wolfgangsee in late april. We are looking forward for a Schafberg train ride journey to the top. But, I am a bit confused about the timings as, I have read that it may not be functional at that time. Could you please share some tips so that I can plan accordingly. Schafberg train ride is my point of interest. Thanks in advance. Hello Divya… I have not taken the train ride so I am not sure if it will be operational in April or not. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
