‘The Trip’ to Austria

£995.00

The second episode of The Trip takes Valentine Warner and his guests to Mittersill in Austria’s Salzburger Land, to the private fishing grounds of the 4 star Hotel Bräurup, part of Austria’s largest private fishing estate. Guests arrive on Friday, settle in over welcome drinks, and share a relaxed first dinner at the hotel before two full days on the water.

Saturday brings a full day’s guided fly fishing at the Finkausee, a glacier fed mountain lake tucked into the Wilder Gerlos valley, with a riverside lunch taken right at the water’s edge and easy conversation with local guides as the day unfolds. Sunday moves to the Krimmler Ache, Austria’s largest private fishing water, where two contrasting stretches meet above and below the falls: a gentler meadow river above, and bigger, characterful pools below. Lunch is taken at the historic Krimmler Tauernhaus, followed by an afternoon spent with local personalities, including a cooking session with Toni, chef at Restaurant Sunnseit in Mittersill, known for his regional, seasonal cooking with organic ingredients and fresh smoked fish from his own spring water pond.
