Summer at Lake Traunsee is as varied as the mountain scenery that frames it. Whether you swim in crystal-clear water, hike up the Traunstein or glide across the lake by boat – everyone finds their own holiday rhythm here.
And the Salzkammergut remains what it has been for centuries: an insider tip. No mass tourism – just real nature, real hospitality and real experiences.
Swimming & Water Sports
At 192 m, Lake Traunsee is Austria's deepest lake – and one of its most varied. Public bathing spots with restaurants, hidden coves reached by electric boat, surfing and kiting in the morning breeze.
