Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Austria

Austria — a country worth exploring

Austria's Grossglockner High Alpine Road climbs to 2,504 metres across 48 hairpin bends, making it one of Europe's most spectacular mountain passes for touring by road. From the baroque grandeur of Salzburg to the crystal-clear waters of Lake Hallstatt, and from the imperial palaces of Vienna to the ski villages of the Arlberg, this landlocked country packs an extraordinary variety of landscapes into a compact area. The distance from Vienna to Innsbruck is roughly 475 km, while Salzburg to Graz covers about 280 km — both routes winding through alpine valleys and rolling farmland that reward a slower pace. Austria's well-maintained road network is ideal for larger vehicles, with generous rest areas and clearly signposted scenic routes through the Wachau Valley, the Salzkammergut lake district, and the Tyrolean Alps. Whether you want to park beside a mountain lake, explore a wine-growing village along the Danube, or wake up to views of the Hohe Tauern range, travelling by campervan gives you the flexibility to follow your own schedule. With a motorhome, you can carry everything you need for high-altitude adventures and valley-floor relaxation alike. Through Yescapa, you can hire a vehicle directly from local owners across Austria — from city pick-ups in Vienna and Salzburg to smaller towns closer to the mountains — choosing the size and style that fits your trip perfectly.

Best time to visit

Austria welcomes campervan travellers from late April through to October, with each month offering something different. June to September is the prime season for alpine routes — the Grossglockner High Alpine Road typically opens in May and closes in late October. In July, the Salzburg Festival fills the city with world-class music and theatre, while December brings the famous Christkindlmarkt season across Vienna and Innsbruck. Shoulder months like May and September offer quieter campsites and pleasant hiking temperatures. Through Yescapa, peer-to-peer pricing often means better rates outside peak summer weeks, so booking a motorhome for a September tour of the Wachau wine harvest can be both rewarding and great value.

The best road trips in Austria

To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.

Tyrolean Alpine Tour

400 km 5–8 days

This 400 km route takes you through the heart of Tyrol in Austria. From Innsbruck, head through the Ötztal Valley to the Timmelsjoch pass, then into the Stubai Valley and on to Seefeld. You'll pass the Nordkette range, the Stubai Glacier, and the resort of Sölden. Roads are well maintained, but a compact campervan is an advantage on the pass roads.

Salzburg Region and Salzkammergut

350 km 5–8 days

Covering roughly 350 km, this route explores the Salzburg region and the Salzkammergut in Austria. Start in Salzburg, drive to Wolfgangsee, continue to Hallstatt, and reach Traunsee near Gmunden. The Eisriesenwelt ice caves in Werfen and Schloss Ort on Traunsee are must-sees. The route suits any vehicle, and lakeside campsites offer pitches with water views.

Wachau Wine Route Along the Danube

180 km 3–6 days

This relaxed tour takes you through Austria's Wachau Valley, from Melk to Krems and on to Dürnstein. Covering around 180 km, you'll discover vineyards, Göttweig Abbey, and the ruins of Aggstein Castle. Roads are wide and well suited to a campervan. Plenty of riverside pitches along the Danube make overnight stops easy.

Carinthian Lakes Loop

250 km 3–6 days

Covering around 250 km, this route in Austria connects Carinthia's finest lakes: Wörthersee, Millstätter See, Ossiacher See, and Faaker See. You'll pass through Villach and Klagenfurt, enjoy swimming stops, and visit Hochosterwitz Castle. The route is ideal for a motorhome, and lakeside campsites offer full hook-ups.

Grand Austria Crossing

550 km 7–11 days

This 550 km route takes you across Austria, from Vienna through the Wachau and Salzburg to Innsbruck. You'll cross the Danube Valley, pass Attersee in the Salzkammergut, and drive over Pass Thurn into the Inn Valley. The route mixes flatland and mountains, suiting both campervans and larger motorhomes. Along the way, well-equipped campsites provide convenient overnight stops.

Grand Alpine Loop Across Austria

700 km 10–15 days

This grand 700 km loop connects Austria's key alpine regions. From Bregenz on Lake Constance, cross the Arlberg Pass to Innsbruck, continue over the Grossglockner High Alpine Road to Heiligenblut, then through Carinthia to Wörthersee and via Styria back to Vienna. You'll experience glaciers, alpine meadows, lakes, and vineyards in a single trip. The route suits all vehicle types, though some pass-driving experience is helpful.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in Austria

Austria uses a vignette system for motorways and expressways. You need to purchase a toll sticker (Vignette) before entering any motorway — available at petrol stations, border crossings, and online. A 10-day vignette is the most practical option for shorter trips. Some alpine tunnels and passes, such as the Brenner, Tauern, and Arlberg tunnels, charge separate tolls payable at the booth. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.5 tonnes are 70 km/h in built-up areas, 80 km/h on rural roads, and 100 km/h on motorways. Vehicles under 3.5 tonnes follow standard car limits of 100 km/h and 130 km/h respectively. Rest areas along Austrian motorways are well equipped, with many offering dedicated spaces for larger vehicles.

Davide, sua moglie e i loro amici, arrivati dall’Italia, hanno fatto un bellissimo viaggio nel sud del Portogallo. Hanno seguito attentamente tutte le istruzioni e non hanno mai avuto bisogno di fare domande 😊 Hanno restituito il camper in perfette condizioni, proprio come concordato. Persone molto corrette, responsabili e piacevoli: li raccomando vivamente! Sarà un piacere rivedervi il prossimo anno. A presto! 🚐☀️

Elvira was super responsive, friendly and helpfull! We had a great experience going around Mallorca with the bus. The bus had everything what we need. Just be aware the bed length is 160cm as listed. But Elvira also has another bus with longer beds if wanted! Highly recommended.
