Hallstatt Tour from Salzburg is a private 8 hours tour from Salzburg with your own driver-guide and Mercedes vehicle, priced at €850 for the whole group of up to 6 guests, VAT included. Hotel pickup in Salzburg is included, entrance tickets are paid on the day, and you can cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before the start.

Overview

This Hallstatt tour from Salzburg is for people who want the famous lakeside village without the train changes, the ferry and the parking hunt. Your driver-guide takes the lake road past Fuschl, St. Gilgen and Bad Ischl, gets you into Hallstatt before the day-trip buses, and leaves you four to five hours for the village, the salt mine or the lake.

Good to know

  • €850 for your private group of up to 6, about 8 hours.
  • Extra and paid on the spot: the salt mine, the funicular to the Skywalk and any boat ride. You decide on the day.
  • Hallstatt is small and hilly. Expect a couple of hours on foot on lanes and steps; the salt mine adds more walking and a miners' slide.
  • By train the trip takes around 2.5 hours each way with a change at Attnang-Puchheim and a ferry. By car it is about 1 hour 15 minutes, but the village is car-free and the lots outside fill up in season.
  • Advisor tip: in summer the village fills up by late morning, so we keep the morning stops short, get in first, and take our time on the lake road home.

Is this the right tour for you?

If crowds put you off, Hallstatt in July and August will test your patience. The Werfen ice cave tour is quieter. In December, the Christmas Market Tour may suit you better. Comparing every way to get there? Read Salzburg to Hallstatt: all your options and the best day trips from Salzburg.
