When I stand at the top of the mountain and enjoy the view of the snow-covered peaks, I breathe in the fresh mountain air and feel happy! Spending the whole day being active and then winding down with a drink in the après-ski bar or on a sunny terrace. Add a bit of tobogganing and a plate of Kaiserschmarrn, and a week of winter sports in Austria is perfect for me!
But even in the summer, I’m always surprised by the variety of activities and how beautiful the view is when you take a lovely hike or mountain bike trip in the valley or right on top of the mountain. In between, a swim in a mountain lake at 2000 meters. Yes, I’m definitely an Austria fan!
As a little girl, snow already had a magical pull on me. I often found myself standing early in the morning, peeking out from behind the curtains in my room, watching the snowflakes gently fall. Slowly, I saw the world change, covered by a white, cotton-like blanket. I couldn’t wait for the morning to come so I could go outside and play in the snow.
At the age of 20, I was introduced to winter sports in the Austrian mountains. For the first time, I slid down the slope on skis. I was hooked immediately. I felt like that little girl again. Being outside in nature, surrounded by those impressive mountain peaks. And when you hear the birds chirping and the sun shining on the snow cover, with millions of silver sparkles—truly magical!
The peace and grandeur of the Alps: fresh mountain air, the sound of cowbells, and sweeping views. In winter, a magical atmosphere prevails with snow-covered peaks, crunching snow, and cosy huts after a day outside in the cold. And in summer, you can truly unwind with mountain hikes, a dip in an alpine lake, and the delights of Austrian cuisine.
The combination of hospitality, simplicity, a relaxed atmosphere, and impressive nature gives Austria its unique charm for me.
The peace, space, and the beautiful nature, the sound of the cowbells, and being enchanted when you reach the mountain top, before settling down at an alpine hut and enjoying the delicious traditional cuisine.
Winter sports in Austria are simply enchanting; the snow-covered mountains always seem to invite me to adventure. It’s not just the adrenaline of skiing, but also the mountain huts, with Austrian hospitality, where I settle down with a hot chocolate and an Apfelstrudel, enjoying the view that looks like a painting— in short, the feeling of relaxation and freedom.
But even in the summer, Austria has won my heart, the feeling of freedom in nature, the many activities on the mountain for children, and the cozy terraces make summer in Austria an unforgettable experience. A holiday in Austria is the perfect combination for me of adventure and relaxation, and the endless possibilities create beautiful holiday memories of Austria!
Unwinding and relaxing in the stunning nature of Salzburgerland. Hiking and photographing, and in the evening enjoying a Käsespätzle or a Kaiserschmarrn. That gives me “a wonderful feeling!”
That must surely be the first lift up after a good snowfall. Then skiing through the powder fields all day, and at the end of the day, a well-deserved beer or schnapps. But nowadays, even a day of skiing with the family makes me very happy.
For me, it’s definitely the fresh mountain air in the morning. I love taking the first lift up to make the first tracks with my snowboard in the fresh snow or on the groomed slopes. I’d happily spend the whole day on the slopes, but I’m always willing to take a short break for a Wiener Schnitzel or a hot chocolate with whipped cream.
Too much to name, but my favourite has to be skiing down a freshly groomed slope as the first one. Then finding a cosy mountain hut and enjoying a (warm) drink on a sunny terrace.
Ever since I was little, Austria has meant snow, skis or a snowboard, and the never-ending quest to find the mountain hut with the best Apfelstrudel. In recent years, I’ve discovered summer too and wow… these days I’m just as happy to swap the slopes for hiking trails, mountain lakes and a dose of sunshine.
After an exhausting mountain hike, enjoy a delicious plate of Kaiserschmarrn on a sunny terrace with a stunning view of the Austrian mountains. Pure bliss!
In the summer, enjoy a lovely hike in a beautiful setting, have a good "Jause," then cool off in a natural pond. In winter, after a day on the slopes, it's best to warm up in the sauna, and then enjoy a Hefeweizen!
Eva’s Ultimate Austria Feeling
Apart from Vienna, I still have to discover the rest of Austria, but it’s high on my wish list. Hiking among the mountains and swimming in the beautiful lakes – I hope to experience it soon!
In 1996, Yvonne Jansen and Ton Jansen (who passed away on October 27, 2022) founded the company ChaletsPlus. With a shared passion for the mountains and recreation, their vision was clear: to rent out small-scale, personal, and high-quality chalets in Austria — not a mass product, but authentic holiday experiences. Exceeding expectations!
With great dedication, Ton and Yvonne built the company step by step. In those early years, they invested their own time in visiting accommodations, selecting locations, and establishing relationships with chalet owners. This created a strong foundation that later became the basis for further growth.
In 2011, Ton and Yvonne handed over the leadership to their son, Pim Jansen. The entire team still carries the vision that Yvonne envisioned: a focus on quality, customer-oriented, and exceeding expectations.
