Why Austria and not France or Spain ?
 | Austria is an all year round location |
| It is not expensive as you may have been led to
believe. Diesel is usually about 1€ a litre.
(July 2007) Bottles of drinkable wine cost from £1-£2. Food is
much cheaper. Property is not expensive and has fallen relatively in price over the
past few years, but has stabilised. (2007) |
| French & Spanish property prices have risen in recent years. So has the cost of living there. |
| It is a clean, safe country in which to live.
There is little crime in country areas. The hotels, restaurants and tourist
attractions are invariably spotless. The lakes and rivers are maintained at
"drinking water" quality. There is no litter anywhere, and
strict recycling laws are in place to keep the environment safe. |
| The population is only 8 million so things are
generally less complicated. |
| It is so central to everywhere else - Prague,
Venice and Vienna are in very easy reach. |
| Public transport is excellent. The busses are
regular and clean, no smoking and air conditioned. Transport is properly
'joined up' - the busses connect with the railway stations etc. |
| It is rich in culture. Mozart, Lehár, & Strauss - to name a few, all came from
there. The Austrians really know their
music. |
| There is skiing on the doorstep and there are 100+ major winter sports resorts in
Salzburg province. |
| For amusement there is walking, skiing, skating, sailing,
tobogganing, langlauf,
riding, cycling, scuba diving, hang gliding, swimming, climbing, golf,
potholing, paragliding, water skiing, rafting, concerts, thermal baths,
theatre, operetta, cable cars, mountain railways, horse drawn sleigh rides . . .all within a few
miles. |
| The summers are quite hot enough with 25-35ºC on
many days during the summer months, this is punctuated by thunderstorms which are very
welcome and freshen things up. It's hot enough but still nice and green.
Winters are a wonderland of ice and snow and the skiing, skating, cross
country, curling etc all get into full swing. |
| The meadows are full of wild flowers. There are
fields of orchids, and the woods are scented with the perfume of wild
cyclamen. |
| The health service is excellent. |
| Motorway access through Germany is
straightforward. |
| Salzburg airport is serviced by cheap flights
from Ryan Air at least
twice a day from London Stansted making even weekend breaks affordable.
BMIbaby are now offering cheap flights to Salzburg in winter via 'East Midlands'
airport, and Flybe come to Salzburg daily from Southampton and Birmingham. |
| A holiday property there can be put to full use
all the year round and is of interest to all ages. |
