Hotels in Upper Austria, Austria

Upper Austria is in the northern part of the country, bordering Germany and the Czech Republic, with a continental climate that brings snowy winters (averaging 28°F/-2°C) and warm summers (up to 77°F/25°C). It's famous for the Salzkammergut region, a lake district with crystal-clear waters like Hallstatt Lake, where you can swim in summer or go ice skating when it freezes over in winter. In the Mühlviertel hills, the colder months are perfect for skiing at Hinterstoder, while spring and fall offer hiking trails past the Mauthausen Memorial and the Baroque St. Florian Abbey.
