Considering a break away somewhere in Europe this year? Judging by this timelapse, it might not be a bad idea to have a look at Austria. 

Austria is a hugely popular destination for ski enthusiasts, but there's plenty more to the country, including some pretty stunning scenery that makes for a fairly beautiful video. You also get a sense of the culture and the hustle and bustle of the cities and towns throughout the country that are surrounded by mountain ranges or nestled in some stunning valleys. 

The footage was shot over two years (between 2013-2015) by Tomas Pöcksteiner and Peter Jablonowski, and the final result is one heck of an ad for the Austrian tourist board. We hope they throw the lads a few quid at least for all their hard work.
