Lakeside mountain holidays
A lakeside holiday in the mountains combines two things that sound like true relaxation to many people: the stillness of the mountains and the calming power of water. At Lerchpeuntgut in the Salzburg Lungau, guests find exactly this atmosphere – complemented by plenty of space, high-quality chalets and a location amid unspoilt nature.

If you are looking for a mountain holiday that truly grounds you while also offering lakes, hiking trails and authentic nature, you will find just the right thing here.
