Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Trip to Austria?

Salzburg is a versatile destination, popular for both high-culture city breaks and adrenaline-filled ski holidays. Navigating the flight options—which often shift between seasonal direct routes and scheduled connections—requires local expertise. Ready2Go offers a distinct advantage: we are a Norwegian travel agency that prioritizes your security and specific travel needs.

• Ski & Sports Expertise: We know that for many Norwegians, a trip to Salzburg involves bulky ski bags and equipment. Our platform helps you identify itineraries that offer the best baggage allowances and transfer options for sports gear, ensuring your equipment arrives safely.
• Intelligent Routing: During the winter season, direct flights are often available, getting you to the slopes in just over two hours. In the off-season, we filter for the most efficient connections via major hubs, prioritizing short layovers so you can maximize your time exploring the Altstadt.
• Local Security & Support: We operate under strict Norwegian consumer protection regulations. When you book with us, you are supported by a local team. If alpine weather affects flights or you need assistance with rebooking, you have a partner who speaks your language and understands your rights.

The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Salzburg (SZG)

Connecting the Norwegian capital to the city of music is a comfortable and scenic experience.

• Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. If traveling with skis, allow extra time for the special baggage drop.
• The Flight Path: A direct flight (seasonal) takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. The approach to Salzburg is widely considered one of the most beautiful in Europe, offering close-up views of the Untersberg and the Hohensalzburg Fortress as you descend.
• Arrival in Salzburg: You will land at Salzburg W.A. Mozart Airport (SZG). It is a compact, user-friendly airport located just 4 kilometers from the city center and minutes from the motorway network leading to major ski resorts like Flachau, Saalbach, and Obertauern.

Destination: Salzburg – Music, Mountains, and History

Salzburg is a UNESCO World Heritage site that punches far above its weight in terms of cultural impact.

• The City of Mozart and Sound of Music
  Salzburg is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. A visit to his Geburtshaus (birthplace) on Getreidegasse is essential. For film fans, the city is the living set of "The Sound of Music." You can visit the Mirabell Gardens and other filming locations right in the city center.
• Gateway to Ski Amadé
  For winter travelers, Salzburg is the perfect landing spot. It serves as the gateway to Ski Amadé, one of the largest ski areas in Europe. Shuttle services run directly from the airport to many resorts, making it possible to ski on your day of arrival.
• Hohensalzburg Fortress
  Watching over the city is the Hohensalzburg Fortress, one of the largest fully preserved castles in Central Europe. Take the funicular up for a panoramic view of the baroque domes of the old town against the backdrop of the Alps.

Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians

1. Transport: The airport is incredibly close to the city. Trolleybus lines 2 and 10 connect the airport to the city center in about 20 minutes for a very low cost. Taxis are also readily available.
2. Salzburg Card: We highly recommend purchasing the Salzburg Card. It gives you free use of public transport and free admission to all major museums and attractions, offering incredible value.
3. Currency: Austria uses the Euro (EUR). While cards are widely accepted, cash is preferred in traditional coffee houses and mountain huts ("Hütte").
4. Seasons: Salzburg is a dual-season destination. Winter offers skiing and Christmas markets, while summer offers the famous Salzburg Festival and hiking. Book well in advance for both peak periods.
