Michelin Green Guide AustriaFrom the Michelin Green Guides series. Austria... climb into the high mountains and revel in the spicy fragrance of the pine forest, up where Alpine peaks are reflected in the waters of still lakes. Have your fill of the breath-taking view before stopping in a refuge hut for tea-time. Castles atop rocky spurs watch over picturesque villages and their fine Baroque churches. The unrivalled beauty of Salzburg and the elegant sophistication of Vienna are inviting stops for those interested in the rich cultural history of Austria. Great composers such as Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, and more recently Bruckner, Mahler, Strauss and Schönberg have left a legacy here, and visitors to the country will find many opportunities to hear a fine old organ, an excellent choir or a symphony orchestra, perhaps in a church or during one of the many open-air festivals in summertime. In the colder months, enjoy the winter wonderland on skis or a snowboard. Return to a fireside glass of wine or stop in a coffee shop to enjoy one of the many variations of the brew available, with a generous serving of rich chocolate Sachertorte. These are only some of the reasons for visiting Austria - and after your first trip, you will surely find many more for returning!
