Camper Van & RV Rental in Salzburg

The best time to rent a motorhome in Salzburg depends entirely on your travel preferences. Basically, you can visit Salzburg at any time of year, even in winter. Salzburg is known for its beautiful Christmas markets and winter events, such as the New Year’s Eve concerts on Residenzplatz, the Mozart Week, and the Perchten runs. The region around Salzburg also offers a picturesque winter landscape with mountains and ski resorts that are ideal for winter activities such as hiking or skiing. However, you should bear in mind that not all campsites are open in the winter months from December to February.

If you prefer a classic summer road trip, you should rent a camper in Salzburg from June to August. The summer months are perfect if you want to experience the lively atmosphere of the city and its summer events, such as the Summer Scene in June and the Salzburg Festival in July and August. With summer temperatures, you can enjoy long days in the countryside at this time and explore the beautiful lakes in the Salzburg region, such as Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee, Mondsee, Salzachsee, and Zeller See.

Spring from March to May and fall from September to November are also ideal for a road trip from Salzburg. The temperatures are mild to warm, the roads and campsites are less crowded than in summer, and you can enjoy the colorful spring or fall landscape and your bike in the entire Salzburg region.
