AUSTRIA An oasis of timeless luxury and elegance A wonderful mountain home that offers an idyllic lifestyle address with splendid valley views A ustria’s scenery is in a class of its own, with spectacular mountains, rolling picture postcard valleys, beautiful lakes, vast natural forests and impressive architecture. But there is much more to Austria, and the family-friendly country also attracts individuals relocating. There are many good reasons for this, not least of which is the high standard of living, based on facilities, lack of crime, health care, education and climate. Southern Austria's growing popularity with overseas property buyers is reflected in the 78 region’s year-round appeal with majestic mountains, crystal clear lakes with drinking-quality water, pristine nature, manicured golf courses, healing thermal waters and much more. As one of the country’s most renowned holiday resorts, the charming ski and spa town of Bad Kleinkirchheim is picturesquely embedded in the splendorous world of the Nockberge Mountains. Located in the midst of the Carinthian province of southern Austria, it offers 25 ski lifts and 100 kilometres of superbly groomed pistes. www.theaddressmagazine.com
