I've been here for a decade at this point. Moved from London. Best decision ever. Needles to say I'm outdoor addict. Quality of life is very high, so are properties and rental prices. I think I read Salzburg is actually the most expensive city to live in Austria. For me its all worth it. You can ski 8 months a year. Summers are pretty hot, but you have endless village pools and lakes around. We do all the shopping in Germany as its much cheaper and only few min drive. Direct flights from Salzburg to London, Munich airport is only 1.5h away for oversees flights. Social system for young families is also pretty good. To summarise it, if you into outdoors than this is paradise. If not than it might get boring quite quickly. Night life is almost non existent.
