Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Austria

On the way between Zell Am See and Kaprun

Sigmund-Thun-Gorge
www.klammkaprun.at Is a nice and quick attraction, you walk (up) on steps for 15-20 minutes through a canyon. The entire way is really nice and relaxing.

By the end of the trail is this waterfall

Alpine Coaster Maisifiltzer
www.maiskogel.at is one of the longest mountain coasters in Austria
The following pictures are from Kitzsteinhorn – the highest mountain of Salzburg
Kitzsteinhorn
www.kitzsteinhorn.at is really amazing; it takes 3 cable cars to reach the top. Make sure to be there before 10:00 am, as the line to the last (highest) cable car gets really crowded after 10:00 am. Some people who arrived at 10:30 had to wait more than two hours (!)
There are activities to do by every station like by all major mountains. I prefer to go straight to the top first and then do the activities on the way down.
On top you’ve got a outdoor Gipfelwelt (balcony) with beautiful panoramic scenes, it is freezing up there. From here you can also take a mountain train to a designated area for snow tubing.

On the way up

The line starts forming at the third station to go to the top

View seen from the restaurant on top. Note the snow tubing area

At the third station - before going down to the second station

Getting lower

And lower

At the second station (one before the bottom) you can take some breathtaking hikes
The following are typical scenes on the way to Innsbruck
