9Hallstatt, Austria

Though Hallstatt has become increasingly popular, wintertime offers a quieter, magical experience. This picturesque village, set on the edge of Hallstatt Lake and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, looks like a scene from a winter fairytale.

Visitors can explore historic salt mines, admire the town’s pastel-colored buildings dusted with snow, or take a scenic cable car ride up to the Dachstein Glacier. The holiday season here is quaint and peaceful, with fewer crowds and enchanting winter scenes.
