Christmas in Austria<br />

3* Wiesbauer Hotel, St. Wolfgang<br />

With comfortable overnight stops in<br />

each direction, this festive break<br />

offers a perfect blend of relaxation<br />

and sightseeing. When you arrive in<br />

delightful Austria the beauty will take<br />

your breath away. Take a camera<br />

and capture the scene for next year’s<br />

Christmas cards, for it is the beauty<br />

of the typically blue skies above<br />

snow-capped mountains that makes<br />

this area so popular. The friendly<br />

welcome and super festive<br />

atmosphere will raise your spirits and<br />

truly make this a Christmas to<br />

remember.<br />
