WolfgangseeSchifffahrt

WolfgangseeSchifffahrt invites families to explore Wolfgangsee with Austria’s largest inland shipping fleet. At seven stops, including Strobl, St. Wolfgang, and St. Gilgen, you can hop on and off spontaneously while enjoying picturesque Art Nouveau villas, turquoise waters, stunning mountain views, and cultural highlights.

A perfect family day at the lake combines a boat ride with a trip on the Schafbergbahn, Austria’s steepest cog railway, offering breathtaking panoramic views over the lake and surroundings. The fleet consists of four modern ships and a nostalgic steamer – so you can choose between contemporary comfort and historic charm.

Special boat events for children include the Pirate Ship, designed just for them, combining fun on the water with exciting themes. The ships are wheelchair accessible and the crew assists when boarding. This makes it easy for families with limited mobility to enjoy a relaxed ride.

The route passes through the culturally rich Mozart village of St. Gilgen, blending nature with cultural experiences – ideal for families who want to travel spontaneously and flexibly, as no group reservation is required.
