About Alpengast

Alpengast.at is an independent editorial travel guide dedicated to Austria. Our mission is simple: to help you plan better trips — where to go, when to go, and where to sleep — through carefully researched destination guides and a hand-picked selection of hotels, inns and guesthouses.

What we do

Our editorial team writes practical travel guides covering the whole country: from the coffee houses of Vienna to the ski slopes of the Arlberg, from the lakes of the Salzkammergut to the vineyards of the Wachau, from Salzburg to Graz. Every guide is based on real research: opening dates, transport options, local specialities and honest budget advice.

Alongside our guides, we maintain a curated selection of accommodation in each destination — not an endless list, but places we would genuinely recommend to a friend: family-run Gasthöfe, characterful Pensionen, mountain wellness hotels and well-rated city hotels at fair prices.

How we make money

Alpengast.at is free to use and does not sell anything directly. When you book a stay through one of our links, our booking partners — such as Agoda — may pay us a small commission, at no extra cost to you. This is how we finance the site. It never influences our editorial choices: we select accommodation on merit, and commissions do not change the price you pay. Read more on our affiliate disclosure page.
