From Schladming: Private Sound of Music & Lakes Day Trip

Discover the filming locations of the Sound of Music on a private day trip from Schladming. Visit the Salzkammergut lake district, see the Basilica of St. Michael, and explore Salzburg.
Begin your private day trip with a pickup from your hotel in Schladming, Rohrmoos, Ramsau am Dachstein, Haus im Ennstal, Pichl, Gröbming, Radstadt, Altenmarkt, Filzmoos, or Flachau. Set off in a private air-conditioned car or minivan and drive via Radstadt and along the Salzach Valley past Hohenwerfen Castle to Salzburg.

On the way, your guide shares local tips and recommendations for the day. Stop at Hellbrunn Palace Park to see the famous glass gazebo from "Sixteen Going on Seventeen." Then, continue to Schloss Leopoldskron and view the palace whose lakeside terrace appears as the von Trapp villa, and where the boat scene was filmed.

Next, head to Nonnberg Abbey, the Benedictine convent founded around 714 where the real Maria was a novice and where the nuns sing "Maria" in the film. Take a short uphill walk with views over the old town and visit the abbey church.

Continue to Mirabell Gardens to see the Pegasus fountain, the steps, and the hedge tunnel from "Do-Re-Mi," with the view of Hohensalzburg Fortress. Then, enjoy a scenic drive past Lake Fuschl into the Salzkammergut Lake District, the landscape from the film's opening aerial scenes.

Stop in St. Gilgen on Lake Wolfgang and stroll along the lakeside promenade. See the birthplace of Mozart's mother and take some time for coffee and cake. Then, drive to Mondsee and visit the Basilica of St. Michael where the film's wedding scene was shot. Explore the old town square and have lunch by the lake.

Finally, relax on the drive back to your hotel.

In winter the lakes and villages are often covered in snow, and from late November the Advent markets in St. Gilgen and Mondsee add to the atmosphere: a perfect rest day from skiing.

Your guide shares local tips and recommendations, and you explore each stop at your own pace.
