A comparison of 35 cities in Austria by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 8 regions of Austria by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.

The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.

The scale above shows what share of the country's cities falls into each comfort band. “Best spot” is the most comfortable region or city this week; “typical conditions” is the median score across regions.

VanSky Index

A weather comfort index for travel: a 0–100 score. Recalculated daily from live weather data — temperature, rainfall, wind and sun.

80–100 Ideal
60–79 Comfortable
40–59 Acceptable
20–39 Challenging
0–19 Extreme

How it's calculated:

  • Thermal comfort 35% — temperature + humidity
  • Sunshine 25% — panel charge, mood; in heat the sun is no longer a bonus
  • Precipitation 25% — rain → muddy ground
  • Wind 15% — awning, driving, noise
  • Extremes override all: frost, heat, storm, downpour
  • Heat counts by feels-like temperature: at 32°+ the score can’t reach “Comfortable”, muggy nights lower it further
  • A dangerous day drags the week down: a storm or downpour in the forecast keeps the week from being “Comfortable”
  • Bonus: warm sea, high panel output

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best city in Austria for van life?
Sort cities by the VanSky column — the higher the score, the more comfortable today. Also check solar panel output and sea temperature if you plan to stay near the coast.
What does the VanSky score mean for a city?
A score from 0 to 100 reflects a composite weather assessment: thermal comfort, precipitation level, wind strength, and sunshine. 80+ is ideal, 60–79 is comfortable, 40–59 is acceptable, below 40 is challenging.
How often is data updated for Austria?
Weather data for all cities in Austria is updated several times a day from the Open-Meteo service based on real observations.

Camping in Urfahr-Umgebung: Amidst Greenery and Nature

Camping Puchner in Feldkirchen, Austria, is gaining attention through a social media video made by the owner's son-in-law. The site, operating for about 25 years, offers 100 pitches, including 50 for seasonal campers and 30 for caravans and motorhomes. Guests mainly come from the region and Germany, as well as Australia, France, Canada, and Israel. Demand for camping has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Carinthia remains popular camping destination

In July 2026, Carinthia recorded 2.6 million overnight stays, up four percentage points compared to July 2025. In the first half of the year, the region ranked second among Austrian federal states in camping overnight stays (about 655,000), behind Tyrol. Operators report an increase in new guests, including from Denmark, Czech Republic, Poland, and surprisingly from the UK and Ireland. Starting in November, a local tax of four euros per person per night will be introduced, causing some concern among campsite operators.
