Sporthotel Alpine Panorama

A Storied Alpine Resort

Perched on the Semmering pass between Lower Austria and Styria, this resort rose to fame in the belle époque, when Vienna's elite built grand hotels and villas along the wooded slopes. The camera captures that layered hillside of terraced rooftops and pine forest from the vantage of the Sporthotel.

Mountains Fading to the Horizon

Beyond the village, successive forested ridges roll into the distance, the Northern Limestone Alps stacking in soft blue layers. The deep valleys and rounded summits make this one of the most scenic panoramas in the eastern Austrian Alps.

UNESCO Heritage Surroundings

The Semmering Railway, the world's first mountain railway and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, threads through these very slopes, its viaducts and tunnels an engineering marvel of the 19th century woven into the landscape below the camera.
