Visit the Giant Ice Caves
The Ice Caves are a great day out. Travel half way up the mountain on the new cable car, and then walk through an extensive cave system filled with natural ice formations.
The locals organise guided walks in the Autumn. We have been on several and they have all been well organised, interesting and worthwhile. Classified as 1,2 or 3 star depending on difficulty, they cover a wide variety of different terrains and abilities. (more info)
If you don't want to go overground, why not go underground. The adventure tours in the local cave are fantastic ...(more info)
The Echerntal behind Hallstatt is especially beautiful when the leaves change colour in the Autumn.
